Background to the original and placing the concept
The miniature roadster shown in the photos refers to the Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed, a show car from Mercedes‑AMG’s new Mythos series that was unveiled at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco in May 2024. The Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed is a two‑seater speedster with no windshield; its open design is dominated by a central HALO hoop inspired by Formula 1 safety rules. Technically, the car is said by the factory to be based on the current SL family and the AMG drivetrain. That points to the R232 generation of the SL, built since 2021. The engine is widely expected to be from AMG’s V8 biturbo family, paired with the 9‑speed MCT gearbox and rear‑axle steering; Mercedes‑AMG didn’t publish official power figures for the show car at the time of the reveal. The design was handled by Mercedes‑Benz’s design organization under Gorden Wagener, while the technical work at AMG was led by the development team around technical chief Jochen Hermann. The Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed is meant as a preview of a highly limited small series and sets itself apart with a super‑low windscreen line, carbon aero parts, and a two‑seat cockpit — much more extreme than a classic roadster.
Technical features and historical references of the original
The Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed drops the roof, side windows and a classic windshield entirely. An aerodynamically shaped wind deflector around the cockpit and the HALO hoop manage airflow and occupant protection. The chassis is derived from the SL’s aluminum spaceframe, with adaptive dampers on both axles; the AMG braking system with optional ceramic discs is sized for heavy thermal loads. Many body parts are visible carbon, including the front splitter, side sills and rear diffuser, and the model reproduces those surfaces with fine texture. A notable detail is the race number “10” on the front fenders — a nod to Mercedes’ win at the Targa Florio in 1924, where a car running number 10 famously won. The ideological predecessor of the platform is the SL generation R231 (2011–2020); its successor, the R232, provides the base for the Mythos special models. So the Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed is less a standalone production car and more an aggressively open derivative of the current AMG SL, carrying the brand’s history and motorsport ties into a collector‑oriented niche vehicle.
The NZG 1/18 model — visible details for collectors
The model shown here is part of collector Gunther’s set and is a 1/18 scale diecast model made by NZG as a Mercedes‑Benz Dealer Edition. Because it’s diecast, the body edges and panel gaps are sturdy and consistent. The paint matches the red‑metallic of the real car, with black contrast areas around the cockpit and rear; carbon parts on the front splitter, side sills and rear diffuser are rendered with fine texture. The sides carry the historic “10” race number, and there’s a subtle checkerboard motif on the rear quarter — both clearly visible in the photos. The open interior shows two bucket seats with two‑tone upholstery and the centrally routed HALO hoop. Headlights and air intakes are finely engraved; the grille captures the AMG look with horizontal slats. The multi‑spoke wheels follow the AMG rim design, with accurately printed center caps and valve‑stem details. One striking visual is the flat, long hood with a small bulge — the model copies that shape without exaggeration. This is a 1/18 scale model by NZG, released as a Mercedes‑Benz Dealer Edition, and it’s also 1 of 2,000 pieces worldwide, so it’s clearly a limited edition.
Collector notes, display and context
For international collectors it’s important that this NZG model was sold as a Mercedes‑Benz dealer edition, meaning it was often only available through the brand’s channels. The limitation — 1 of 2,000 pieces worldwide — makes it easy to identify within a collection. The diecast build feels robust; delicate‑looking parts like the HALO hoop, splitters and diffuser are finely made but sturdy enough for light handling. The photos show accurately printed mirror surfaces, brake discs and tire sidewalls. Because of the open design, the model works great in a low‑height display case and clearly shows how the Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed interprets the speedster idea in the Mythos line. There’s no known film or TV tie‑in for this specific car, so the focus is strictly on the design and tech of the Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed. For cataloging and searching: it’s a 1/18 scale model by NZG, Mercedes‑Benz Dealer Edition, faithfully representing the styling and historic references of the Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed, and it’s part of collector “Gunther”’s archive.
