the amg gt3 is powered by the old 6.2 V8 that powered the sls gt3 too. If mercedes was going to use the 4L twin turbo, maybe they could have a "bmw style" approach, using an update gt3 car as GTLM spec.

About costs, if I'm right, when you order a mclaren gt3 chassis, you must purchase a complete set of spare parts too by contract!
Honestly don't know if 3mln € or $ are enough to finance a one car program in BES or ADAC.

Lamborghini is making what ferrari/michelotto made with the 458 gt3! a reasonable cheap car, easy to set and very pro-am friendly... that's the reason why there are a lot of huracan around.
Ferrari 488 gt3 basically is a downgraded 488 GTLM, surely ferrari/michelotto it self doesn't expect to have the same market of the old 458 (that most of ferrari teams are still using)
