This car looks like it would be an absolute blast on a long track like Road Atlanta Unfortunately I seroiusly doubt if any signifigant number of these cars ever see any serious track work other than factory promos and car publication testing. Frankly i dont see any new offerings from AMG that gets my attention The priject one is beyond my means. The proposed GT 73 will be hybrid based and I hate electric stuff. It looks like the bad assed loud rumbling tire smoking AMG V8s days are seriously numbered. I find it totally sickening. It looks like AMG could come up with an American market fix for these new muted exhaust configurations. I guess I will look at a Rentech mod for my GT63S instead of the BS.Im hearing some wild tales about the results ftom these mods. if u are one of the lucky few who will own one of these cars enjoy it. Congrats I guess i will keep looking
Do you have a pic thread of your GT? I LOVE those 4 door GT's!

I love the way it looks

Not sure I would get one for a daily driver but, for a weekend car, most definitely!!

Look like a wrap from Wraps “R” Us... a division of Toys “R” Us.

It's the 2019 Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One livery wrap.

Yesh, I guess they charge $100 for each Mercedes star they put on that paint gradient...

I know I sound negative, but I really think they missed the mark with the looks (and potentially sound) of this Black Series.

From a driving and performance perspective, I’m sure it will be unbelievable and that FPC will really change the character of the GT. This thing wasn’t built for 0-60, it was built to destroy the ring...

It really reminds me of the Viper ACR if I’m being honest. Just too busy, too wingy, too flicky for my taste.

I suppose if you're a MEGA, super duper collector, having them side by side would be killer
