The prototypes of the new Mercedes-AMG GT are already rolling, a new sports car that will still take a while to arrive. At almost the same time, the production of the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series has ended, a perfect finishing touch with a record at the Nürburgring included.
Many did not believe in the possibilities of Mercedes going back to using a commercial surname typical of the most extreme versions, advancing it exclusively long before the star did. The Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series It came but not to stay forever, but only for a year. This is the time that has remained in production, and that has already come to an end.
Homologated for street but with competition specifications, the most extreme AMG GT surprised by pushing the engine power to the limit 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 without the need for electric assistance, but with a really unique aerodynamic work behind. The Mercedes-AMG technicians worked on a set-up so as not to leave a single loophole for their most direct rivals.
The Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series has set the bar very high for its successor
The German firm, and the Affalterbach house, have not skimped at all on this authentic supercar that, instead of continuing for sale, has decided say goodbye and thus offer a bonus of exclusivity to its owners. A cache that will be priced very high, more than carbon fiber and lightweight materials found under the bodywork.
And one more extra, no less important, that of wearing a badge on the Nürburgring circuit as one of the fastest models in its category. Mercedes has not shown off this trophy, but German sources have revealed that the German set a record of 6 minutes and 53 secondsbeating the Porsche 911 GT2 RS by five seconds, and remaining close to that achieved by the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, which stopped the stopwatch in a time of 6 minutes and 43 seconds on a track -the Nordschleife- of just over 20 kilometers in length .
A “thorn” nailed that could not get the 730 hp of its imposing 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, but which will surely catch up with its successor in a few years. The new generation of the Mercedes-AMG GT is already in development, and this one will make use of the electrified technology “AMG E Performance”. Even if is not of the same category, Mercedes will serve the record set by the AMG ONE. The case is always to be above.
