The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 45th Anniversary Edition has debuted, priced at the U.S. equivalent of $577,474.

Daimler said it plans to build just five of these custom racecars. The SLS AMG GT3 is the racing version of the SLS AMG.

The special model, which is equipped with the AMG 6.3-liter V8 engine, marks the Mercedes-Benz SL's 45th year.

Details on the car include carbon bodywork covered with a special magno graphite matte paint and AMG light-alloy wheels. A "45 Years of Driving Performance" logo adorns the car's gullwing doors.

The interior gets a full steel roll-over cage, six-point seatbelts and carbon-shell seats.

Buyers of the 45th Anniversary Edition can expect a white-gloves treatment at the factory here. They will receive an "in-depth introduction to the operation of the new vehicle," along with a tour of the factory and the AMG Performance Studio.

Daimler said it has sold 49 SLS AMGs worldwide to date.
