Mercedes-AMG GT 'Black Series' Looks Monstrously Fast At The 'Ring
If you look at the Mercedes-AMG GT R with its active aero, 577bhp and general air of badassery and think “you know what, I want something more hardcore,” there might well be something wrong with you. But regardless of your state of mind, AMG has you covered.
Speaking to Topgear.com last year, AMG boss Tobias Moers confirmed such a car is indeed happening, and the angry vehicle you see undergoing testing at the Nurburgring in the footage above looks to be it.
Packing a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 instead of an N/A 6.2 it unsurprisingly doesn’t sound quite as good as the old SLS AMG Black Series - the GT Black’s kinda/sorta predecessor - but it does look stunningly quick out on the Nordschleife.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

So its a performance version (Black Series) of a performance version (R) of a performance car (AMG GT)?
Yup

GT Black Series>GT R>GT S>base GT
so yeah
All I hear 95% of the time is tire noise
When Bae texts you “My parents are gone for the night”.
If the AMG GT R is anything to go by; this’ll break under the 7 Barrier. No doubt
Who else wishes that AMG’s 6.2 NA V8 will come back?
Or if we get an engine from the S65 😍😍😍😍
Soon Mercs will have a package named “Blitzkrieg” soon. Lol.
