The Black Series moniker is about to make a comeback
in Mercedes‘ portfolio, and it will be used on the range-topping version of the
Mercedes-AMG GT family. It was already confirmed by AMG boss Tobias Moers last year shortly
after the unveiling of the AMG GT R Pro, who simply said “yep” when asked
whether the model is indeed coming.
Now, we can’t be entirely certain that this
prototype spied testing at the Nurburgring is indeed the AMG GT R Black Series,
but it does seem different than both the GT R and GT R Pro. The slightly
updated aero pack is partially visible from beneath the camouflage and appears
to feature reworked front and rear bumpers, a new front apron, rear wing,
diffuser and revised exhaust system.
We only get to hear the engine tone for a few
precious seconds, but all GTs utilize the company’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, in
different stages of tuning. The most powerful is, surprisingly, not powering
the two-door coupe but the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe S, pushing out 640 PS and 900 Nm of torque.
