Equipment
600hp 5,987cc mid engine V12. AMGs Alessandro nnini Marcel Tiemann 1997 FIA GT1 entry. Winner at Suzuka with Berndt Schneider also driving, 2nd at Nurburgring, A1 Ring, Donington and Mugello and always a factor. Beautifully prepared to Le Mans ready standards. The only privately owned example and unlikely any of the others will ever leave M B ownership now that AMG is a subsidiary.
Market commentary
Something of a car without a home in the short term but soon will become eligible for open classes at historic races and should then show its heels to just about anything. The buyer is no doubt betting on that, and the implicit rarity to provide both racing enjoyment and a good investment ... and is guaranteed the former, with a good chance of the latter.
