Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series Now Available to Order, Starts at $392K
With 730 horsepower, the latest and greatest AMG GT embodies the brand’s traditional roots in motorsport grandeur to the ultimate degree.
Just around one week after its world premiere, the new Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series (combined fuel consumption 12.8 l / 62 m, combined CO2 emissions 292 g/km)* can already be ordered from authorised dealers at a starting price of $392,482. During the development of the new flagship model in the GT family, the engineers in Affalterbach pulled out all the stops in their design expertise.
The results include the most powerful AMG V8 production engine of all time, combined with a highly-expressive design, the most sophisticated aerodynamics, the most intelligent material mix and the most thrilling driving dynamics.
With an output of 537 kW (730 hp), the new super-sports car embodies the brand’s traditional roots in motorsport to the ultimate degree – together with a design directly derived from the current AMG GT3 racing car. The special AMG magma beam paint finish is reserved solely for the AMG GT Black Series, and can be ordered as optional equipment.
The new V8 engine with a flat crankshaft develops 730 HP at 6700-6900 RPM, and makes a peak torque of 800 newton metres available at 2000-6000 rpm. It lends the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series a completely independent character and enables a particularly impressive performance: the two-door vehicle shoots from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, and to 200 km/h in under nine seconds. The top speed is 202 MPH
The similarity to the AMG GT3 and AMG GT4 racing cars is visually and technically stronger than ever before. As well as the new, considerably larger cooling air intake of the AMG GT racing car, another direct derivative from motorsport is the new carbon-fibre bonnet, with two large exhaust air outlets made from black-finished carbon surfaces. The large outlets guide the warm air, which is fed from the diagonally positioned cooling pack, out of the engine compartment. This technology increases the overall downforce.
At the same time, the air resistance is reduced and the air mass flow for cooling the engine is optimised. The bearings on the upper and lower wishbones of the rear axle also come straight from motorsport. Their design means they have no play, which means toe-in and camber do not change even under high loads. The AMG GT Black Series therefore allows for precise steering, gives clear steering feedback and thus delivers better cornering performance, too.
