Sure - speak to me when your MB can take a corner at 200 kms an hour with zero hesitation or body roll

Which MB can take a corner at 200mph? (Not being cheeky - genuinely curious and what kind of corner)

it's a trick question....neither will claim dominance. They are going to be well balanced contenders - right down to their size/girth of the (functional) spoiler and aero.

it just throws of the C&C crowd because they only know that wing function and low speeds...and lunchtime.

No clue on the Tikt wing, it just looks so sexy. I'd be shocked if the GT3 wing didn't provide more downforces than the BS wing though.

I just personally hate how the arms go from narrow to wide on the BS.

Man, that GT2RS just looks right, doesn't have that bolt on/aftermarket look. I REALLY wish I could get into the sound of Porsches.

I'm amazed how an OEM have managed to make their flagship car look like a cooking model with an eBay body kit.

I'm sure it's awesome, but its no looker.

They purposely cheapened the GTR Pro louvers to make the BS look better. Kind of lame...

With only 11 posts on MBWorld, you are not getting an allocation for the Black Series. Hate to burst your bubble. The BS will go to customers who buy a LOT of Mercedes cars. Like 10+. And most of those will not get an allocation. I believe production is 400-500 units.

Honestly, with all the versions - that makes the most sense. Unlike the SLS which just had the coupe and roadster - the GT Black has to differentiate from the GT, GTS, GTC, GTR, GTR Pro 😂
