Thanks to revised turbochargers and updated engine electronics, the output surges to a staggering 830 hp (610 kW). That\u2019s nearly 120 hp more than the standard GT2. One of its party tricks is the Push2Pass system. At the push of a steering wheel button, boost pressure rises, unleashing an extra 100 hp and 200 Nm of torque \u2013 taking total torque to 1000 Nm. Combine that with a race-bred lightweight construction (just 1,430 kg) and magnesium wheels inspired by AMG\u2019s Formula 1 car, and the GT2 Edition W16 delivers an astonishing power-to-weight ratio of around 1.7 kg per horsepower.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-890494\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-4.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-4-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-4-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-4-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-4-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-4-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Like in F1, aerodynamics play a starring role. New active louvres above the front wheels, a larger front diffuser, reshaped mirrors, and a carbon lip spoiler improve balance. The real highlight? A Drag Reduction System (DRS) straight out of Formula 1. At the press of a button, the rear wing flattens to reduce drag, pushing top speed past 320 km\/h. Power is fed through a six-speed sequential racing gearbox mounted in a rear transaxle layout, connected by a carbon torque tube for maximum rigidity. Fully adjustable motorsport dampers and four-stage stabilizers ensure the GT2 Edition W16 can be dialed in for any circuit, while ABS, traction control, and advanced safety equipment mirror AMG\u2019s GT customer racing cars.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-7.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-890497\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-7.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-7-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-7-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-7-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-7-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-7-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-7-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is not a homologated racing car, which means AMG wasn\u2019t constrained by FIA rulebooks. Instead, the GT2 Edition W16 is built purely for track-day thrills, setting its own benchmarks. Visually, the GT2 Edition W16 makes no secret of its F1 inspiration. The bodywork wears a hand-painted star pattern wrapping the rear flanks, accented by the familiar PETRONAS green of AMG\u2019s Formula 1 team. Inside, matte carbon fibre dominates, while PETRONAS accents brighten the seat trim, door panels, and centre console.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-890495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-5-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-5-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-5-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-5-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Mercedes-AMG-GT2-Edition-W16-5-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Every car carries a unique badge, \u201c1 of 30\u201d, on the console, reinforcing its exclusivity.
