The trio of Iron Lynx-run Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evos will again adopt special Silver Arrows liveries for next month’s 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The cars were in the manufacturer’s iconic colors last year when the brand appeared at La Sarthe for the first time over a quarter of a century.

Now, the silver liveries will make an appearance again for this year’s June 13-14 event, with each of the trio of LMGT3 cars having slightly different colors towards the rear.

The No. 61 machine, driven by Maxime Martin, Martin Berry and Rui Andrade, will feature black at the back, while the No. 79 car piloted by Johannes Zelger, Matteo Cressoni and Lin Hodenius will have bright yellow markings.

There will also again be a third Mercedes-AMG on the grid this year via Iron Lynx’s partnership with the Qatar Motor & Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and this car — driven by Abdulla Al Khelaifi, Julian Hanses and Giuliano Alesi — will feature the maroon of the Qatari flag.

All three liveries were revealed in partnership with the FIA World Endurance Championship’s official game Le Mans Ultimate and the color schemes are due to soon become available in the game.

“It’s a great pleasure for us to bring the Silver Arrows back to the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the second consecutive year,” said Iron Lynx team principal Andrea Piccini.

“I particularly like that we are doing it by featuring three distinct personalities.”

Head of customer racing for Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Stefan Wendl added: “Continuing the story of the Silver Arrows in 2026 through the liveries of all three cars, following our debut last year, underlines the special significance this race holds within our motorsport heritage.

“Building upon the experience gained last year, we are aiming to confirm our sporting progress with a strong result.”

The best of the Mercedes-AMGs finished in 12th place in the 2025 event.
