2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Black Series
Description
Since AMG was founded in 1967, they have aimed to make Mercedes-Benz cars as fast and enjoyable as possible. Typically this means putting a massive V8 in an otherwise average road car. AMG decided to break this trend in 2010 and create an entirely new car from the ground up. The SLS AMG was a front-engined, 2-seater grand tourer. This car featured, at the time, the most powerful naturally aspirated production series engine ever produced.
Once the SLS finished production in 2014, it made way for the AMG GT to take its place. The AMG GT was made using the same front-engined, rear-wheel drive formula as the SLS, only now using the 4.0 Twin-Turbocharged V8 in the C63, E63, and all other AMG models since 2014.
The standard AMG GT is a sleek, classy grand tourer designed to give the driver a blissfully comfortable experience with a phenomenal V8 under-foot when needed. In 2021 however, AMG unveiled the AMG GT Black Series, a pure, high-performance variant of the GT. The twin-turbo V8 is now tuned to produce 720 horsepower and 800nm of torque.
As well as all this extra power, the styling cannot go unnoticed. Take the sleek, smooth lines of the standard GT and completely revamp them with new wings, fins, and carbon fibre as far as the eye can see. A new deployable front splitter is now added to give unrivalled downforce to the front end. A new carbon fibre bonnet with two huge scoops designed to draw air directly through the front radiator to help cool the V8. All of this is tied together with an enormous double-decker carbon fibre rear wing designed to keep the back end planted at any speed.
All of these performance upgrades mean the AMG GT Black Series was able to accomplish the fastest lap ever achieved by a road-legal production car around the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
If you're after a Mercedes-Benz that offers all the features you'd expect, such as fully integrated smartphone capabilities, a stunning sound system and front and rear parking cameras and sensors, but you're also after the proven best road car for the racetrack, the AMG GT Black Series is the car for you.
