Presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2019, the Mercedes-AMG GT R Roadster is one of the most desirable variants of the GT, especially since it is limited to 750 copies. Bussink took it a step further by turning her into a speedster, with this Bussink GT Speedlegend presented on the sidelines of the Formula 1 Monaco 2021 Grand Prix. A model which is reminiscent of the SLR Stirling Moss!

For the rest, the soft top has been removed, the uprights shortened, and the glazing replaced by plexiglass elements. In total, it is not less than 100 kg that have been removed, thus participating in the lightening of the model as well as the lowering of the center of gravity.

Limited to only five copies, this Bussink GT Speedlegend is a real rarity that you will not often come across on your road. No price has been announced, but know that the five units planned have already found a taker …
