The Panamericana grille - A brief history and where to buy the Panamericana GT grille for your Mercedes
This is a short history of what inspired the current range Mercedes AMG vehicles to feature so prominently this superb timeless, classic, yet modern design.
In 1952 the Mercedes 300SL featured a grille with vertical slats competing and winning many races including Le Mans, Nurburgring Great Jubilee Prize, the Bern Grand Prix and most famously (where the actual grille name came from) the Carrera Panamericana, in Mexico.
In 2018 Mercedes re-introduced the Panamericana grille to the AMG GT. This in turn inspired many more vehicles to feature the Panamericana grille, namely AMG tuned variants.
The aftermarket tuning industry appreciated this should not limited to solely AMG owners, and began replicating this design to fit the majority of the Mercedes range from A Class to Vito!
Mercedes owners across the globe refer to the Panamericana grille often as the GT, GTS or Panamerica grille for short.
