The car pays homage to classic competition cars with features that include the use of trigger catches to fasten both the bonnet and rear hatch.

The body is distinctive chiefly for its impressive curves and powerful and prominent fender, both of which follow firmly in the tradition of Mercedes-Benz’s impeccably proportioned sports cars. However, the grille differs from the classic model in being made entirely from LEDs, capable of lighting up independently in a variety of patterns. The shape of the front grille is modelled on the classic Mercedes-Benz 300SL, the winner of the Carrera Panamericana in 1952, a race famed for its unforgiving conditions. The image the design team had in mind was that of a big cat closing in on its prey, and this has been realised in both the elegance and sense of agility and alertness in the completed model. In collaboration with the creators of Gran Turismo, Mercedes-Benz has come up with a striking sports car that features gullwing doors and some seriously sensuous curves. Following this, the AMG is scheduled to be transferred to Los Angeles where it will be displayed at the Mercedes-Benz booth on the opening day of the LA Auto Show. The producer of the Gran Turismo series, Kazunori Yamauchi, was in attendance, sharing the satisfaction of witnessing the unveiling together with the Mercedes-Benz staff involved in the creation of the car. On November 20th 2013 (local time), the inaugural model in the Vision Gran Turismo project, the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo, was revealed at the Mercedes-Benz Research and Development Center near San Jose, California.
