While we don&#8217;t get any clear images of the car in the teaser gallery, Mercedes is describing the car as the &#8220;beast of the green hell.&#8221; Whether that refers to lap time, styling inspiration or development work we don&#8217;t know. However, it could have something to do with the fact that the AMG GT3 racecar won the N\u00fcrburgring 24 Hours race back in May.<\/p>\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n
