At this year’s Spa 24 hours team Black Falcon’s Mercedes SLS GT3 will be wearing the cassic livery of Merceeds 300 SEL 6.8 AMG.

This is quite an occasion in fact, as one of the Falcon’s drivers is Kenneth Heyer, son of Hans Heyer, the man who achieved a class victory and overall second place 40 years ago in the SEL 6.8.

The car is is visually reminiscent of the legendary racing touring car that made AMG world-famous overnight. The red paint finish, the start number 35 and the sponsor stickers are all the same as on the legendary racer, but you have to say they do look better on the modern SLS AMG!

A total of seven Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 cars will be competing at the Spa race. This special SLS will be driven by Kenneth Heyer (31, Wegberg), Thomas Jäger (34, Munich) and Stéphane Lémeret (37, Ophain-Bois-Seigneur-Isaac, Belgium).
