MV Agusta F3 AMG Solar Beam Photos
During the 66th IAA Frankfurt International Motor Show in Germany, the MV Agusta AMG Solar Beam was unveiled. The MV Agusta F3 AMG Solar Beam highlights the relationship between the Varese-based motorcycle manufacturer and Mercedes-AMG.
Combining efforts, the two manufacturers took the already potent F3 800 triple, and painted it in the exclusive AMG Solar Beam color. The bike is further upgraded with black wheels, AMG logos, and other blackened highlights.
Speaking of the bike, MV Agusta says “This aesthetically and technically impressive vision of the matching look on two and four wheels visualizes the passion, which the two brands have for motorsports and for combining aspects of technology, performance and design to achieve perfection. To this effect, the partnership between Mercedes-AMG and MV Agusta is set to continue after the IAA show in Frankfurt under the joint brand claim ‘Beyond Adrenaline.’”
“AMG’s aspiration is to surpass itself with each new vehicle. Among other ways of achieving this goal, we collaborate with the frontrunners of other sectors in a bid to seek inspiration and constantly better ourselves. MV Agusta was without a doubt the only choice for us in the motorcycle sector,” says Tobias Moers, Chief Executive, Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
