Super cool car- However, I have no use for it. If I lived down in Carmel maybe but if I were going for a special car limited edition car I'd probably go for something else. That said I have been thinking about retiring while I am still fairly young and in shape and racing on an amatuer but I'd also want to be able to do rallies in Europe so this wouldn't work either.
I'd be interested in hearing from someone who legit was going to get one to track it regularly.

Fellas - spoke with my dealer and they had no idea how to go about getting one (I am in Canada). I see in this article it references an online ordering system? Anyone know where or how to go about speaking to someone on this?
Thanks in advance for any and all info!

I would think too, that AMG would want these 55 units in some high visibility real track use and not just purchased to sit in someone's garage or get flipped like some of the BS series cars did. That would back up an argument AMG would be selecting the buyers with invitations.
Someone lend me one of these invitations!

Maybe get pro-active and have your dealer call MBUSA and make a case for one. Have them describe you and how you would intend to use it. Maybe you could at least get on a consideration list, especially if you're not already well known to AMG. Maybe you are already, but 55 is an awfully small number. I hope it works for you.

It would be interesting to see the areas they achieved weight savings… that are not so obvious. I was surprised to find that I saved 51lbs swapping out the stock seats for my GTR pro with the amg Recaro seats that come factory on the car OUS (and that includes the weight of the factory Schroth harness). There’s probably close to 100lbs to save if you remove the thick abs heavy sound deadening material throughout the interior.

If the HP is important you can probably just remove the BOP from GT4 and you'll be there anyway.
Having run a Porsche Cup car as a trackday toy I'm at least moderately experience in this game. I

My feeling is running costs will be same as GT4. Will require the same level of consumables and support, not sure on servicing requirements. Car will be worthless once used as its not eligible to go racing with. Its also twice the cost of a lightly used GT4.

Going to build a dedicated track car me thinks.
Now that I have a membership to the new Rocky Mountain Motorsport track plus other events, I am going to be around 20-30 track days.
Way too many track days for the PRO.
I test drove a RUSH Auto Works car, and I did not really like it. I had considered maybe a radical, but track days are a bit more limited.
Because I am half retarded, I want to build a car out of a 3rd gen Camaro something very similar to what Detroit Speed has done.

It says the Track Series uses the GT4 race car's chassis which looks like:
