In 1971, the bright red Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG prepared by AMG specialists came second in the overall standings of the 24 Hours of Spa. This achievement was the first major success of the young company and brought it to the forefront of world motorsport, and the “Red Pig” became one of the legends of racing. In 2023, the car suddenly became the inspiration for the exclusive Mercedes-AMG GT sacai x AMG coupe, created together with the Japanese fashion brand.
Japanese and German brands have joined forces to create a sacai x AMG capsule collection specifically for the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Clothing and accessories were sold at the AMG Speed City store in Sin City, and a specially prepared Mercedes-AMG GT 63 attracted attention to the outlet.
Flagship coupe with a 585-horsepower 4.0-liter turbocharged petrol V8 mated to a 9-speed AMG Speedshift MCT 9G automatic transmission with wet multi-plate clutch and AMG Performance 4Matic+ all-wheel drive with intelligent torque distribution to the front and rear axles . Technically the car has not changed, but it has changed a lot in appearance.

The entire sports car, including the wheels, was decorated in a mirror silver color, which was complemented with textured elements. Upon closer inspection, you will notice voluminous “stickers” on the body, imitating the starting numbers and sponsorship stickers on the body of the original Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG. But you won’t be able to buy a Mercedes-AMG GT sacai x AMG – the car was built in a single copy as a show car for the race weekend in Las Vegas.
