GTS 007

Humbly asking if anyone can help me understand the process of getting an allocation for the upcoming GT black series ?
Can you share senior contacts at AMG sales management ?

Among other AMG cars, I now have purchased at the same dealer and traded back to him :

2016 GTS, 2018 GTR.... I now own a 2020 GTR pro (Arrived 3 weeks ago).

My dealer was able to get the Pro allocation for me through a lucky golf outing with AMG management last year and mentioning my history and loyalty to the brand and GT models....
but no identified networking path for Black series. ...

any help or advice.?

very grateful.

The SLS Black Series almost doubled up in value. Best of luck sir.

According to Tobias Moers, the upcoming Black Series will be the most radical in history of that line, having nothing in common with current Pro, a real monster as he said and capable to run circles around the GT2RS.
Anyhow, maybe a bit exaggerated but still, I think we can expect a very special and incredibly desirable car, will be expensive at comfortably above $300k but the premiums will make the SLS Black's look like a bargain.

I highly doubt that it will even come close to ‘running circles’ around a 991.2 GT2RS, as the car would need to perform at Macca Senna levels to do that. But, it will be something special I’m sure.

I agree, thought it was a bit too much to say, trying to build more excitement and anticipation maybe?

Is that an actual quote from Moers? Would love to see that.

If I remember correctly, I read it on Motor1.

your dealer should know by now whether he is getting one or two cars or nothing at all.

whats the point of getting black series amg gtr when it has confirmed to have electric motors to boot the car up to 800 horse power? my advice to you just go buy a Porsche gt3 rs or gt2 rs if you can lmfao.

absent

Where did you hear that?
GT63 is coming next year with that set up, GT Black Series does not going to have it.

Bones

What are you babbling on about? This poor soul thinks he is on the P forum

He is confusing 2 different cars.

What a useless post. The BS is going to annihilate the GT2 RS if it indeed will have the instant torque of electric motors and AWD. I believe the GTR Pro is basically tied with the GT2 RS on the Ring anyway.

That said, I doubt they will be able to fit a hybrid Powertrain in the BS. Almost zero chance.
My vote is that the 6.2L V8 will be back in the BS!

Surge

Back to the OP post - if you have to ask how to get a BS, you’re not getting one.

The GTR Pro is not selling that well (and for good reason), so don’t confuse a Pro allocation to a BS allocation. My dealer offered me a Pro without even me asking. And that was before I bought my GTC.

Invoice for the Pro at my dealer.

Complete rubbish. The BS is not going to annihilate the GT2RS. it will be a bad *** car, but it won’t beat that car. And it won’t have the 6.2 engine.

Surge

Ah, thank you for this - what a surprise that @Mazspeed is actually Tobias Moers!!

hyperion667

I personally find the BS exclusivity obnoxious, it's a GD car!! Sell it as such you know? Ordered or first come first serve. All this crap about who plays golf with who, or who's *** has to be greased is completely asinine...........rant over.

Surge

Unlike Porsche, who’s waiting lists and allocations are completely fabricated and stupid, the BS will actually be limited production. 500 units I believe.

With the GT3 series, Porsche plays the same game, but they are not limited in production.

absent

Well, it was pretty straightforward and honest with my dealer, no games and no need to perform oral on the dealer principal.
They put up for sale a left over 2019 GT63 S and announced whoever buys it will get the allocation.

Surge

that’s nice! Hope you get it!

Mazspeed

Naaaaa, It doesn’t take the head of AMG to figure out that they would not put in yesterday’s tech in their range topping car. Common sense did. And a little reading.

Seems like you're not aware the GT3 has the 6.2L V8.

Mazspeed

Seems like you’re not aware that the GT3 is a race car and not road legal. And that the article stated that the car was coming with a 4.0 tt. Again common sense but.....

Ok I’ll try and outline MY UNDERSTANDING of the process for ordering all of these high end special Mercedes cars;

1. CONTRACT LAW 101 - Go to your dealer GM and offer to buy the GT Black.
2. Place a written and signed order by the GM or Sales Manager along with an agreed deposit (Customer/Buyer Offered and Dealer accepted)

3. Despite what you read here it is very important for you to know and understand the following;

A dealer order is just that an order that the dealer will sell you a car IF they have or will receive it.
ALL OFFICIAL ORDERS ARE MADE ONLINE BY THE DEALER AND OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED BY THE AMG FACTORY.
All factory accepted orders are assigned an order number that the factory and dealer use to track the build/ship process in the MB computer system in the plant in Germany.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A ORDER NUMBER AND FACTORY ACCEPTANCE YOU DON’T HAVE A CAR ON ORDER.

As of the end of December the order system for the GT Black is closed with no officially known open date.
To date no Germany factory officially assigned GT Black dealer recepients have been identified.
To date their is no official Total number of Blacks to be built.

MY BEST GUESS is that by the end of the 1st quarter we will see some official information forthcoming FROM Germany.

ALSO, Please remember;
The build process takes about 4-6weeks from official start to finish and can be tracked through your dealer using your order number.
Unless things change radically for the better, plan on your completed car sitting at the MB VPC for another several months until the government plays nice and releases the car for delivery. (My GTR sat for over 7 months in the US less than 1 hour away before I could finally take delivery and buy it).

FWIW: Porsche and many other foreign imports experience the same delays year after year as well.

GOOD LUCK and I hope all of this insite helps.
