^ Who knows, might be a future potential candidate for a Black Series...
 
I simply love the way this car looks.
 
How long before Porsche kicks up a stink about this if it's production name is called "GT3" as well?

The problem with naming your cars after a popular racing series.

If they don't, Aston will have been singled out, and that is no bueno.
 
AMG admit the hotter GT won't take a GT3 name to avoid noise from Porsche.

Look for a debut sometime in 2016. We’re still not sure what the car will be called, though we know it won’t be badged a “GT3”. Moers has already said that that name—for road car applications—belongs to someone else, something Aston Martin recently found out the hard way.

Why not call it AMG GT Black Series ?

Black Series models tend to come towards the end of the life cycle.
 
Why not call it AMG GTS or AMG GT-S. It clearly looks nothing like the GT3 race car so why bother trying to tie in with it?

GTR might get complaints from Nissan, but plenty of manufacturers have used 'GTS'.
 
I dont get how Porsche can claim rights to GT3.

Maybe just call it GT3-S

Since AMG is all about putting S on the end these days.

Merc in a way are already using GT-S for the current 510hp version so they'll need to call it something other than that as well.
 
Just call it an AMGT3. :p
Still love this car every time I see it.
Couldn't pick between this and the Cayman GT4 or 991 GT3 but they basically make up my dream car list. None of this feeling is influenced by my morning (which consisted of driving my dad to the airport in him SL550). :lol:
 
Fine. GT RS it is then.

Me neither. Ferrari certainly didn't kick up such a fuss with Pontiac and Mitsubishi using the GTO name and Maserati weren't bothered when VW and Peugeot began using the GTi suffix. Three letter acronyms shouldn't be the property of anyone, particularly ones named after very popular racing categories.
 
Didn't the GT3 category come after the original 911 GT3?

Yes. The FIA GT3 started in 2006 while Porsche first introduced the GT3 (996) in 1999.
