DubiCars Exotic Car Of The Week - Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series Review: Race Car Pedigree With Luxury
The original series 1 AMG GT when launched, had around 510hp and did 0 to 100kmph in under 4 seconds. This made it one of the fastest Mercedes-Benz cars back in 2015. Six years later after going through several improvements, the fastest AMG GT was introduced and Mercedes called it the Black Series.?
With 730hp on tap, and yet having an interior that doesn’t skimp on any luxuries found on other Mercs makes it our top pick for this week’s DubiCars Exotic Car Of The Week series. Looking to buy a Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series? There is a fine example of this race car for the road listed by Stoub Biz Motors on DubiCars.

AMG GT Black Series’ Race-Inspired Performance
Mercedes-Benz wanted to create the fastest and most powerful version of the AMG GT. Instead of looking to upgrade their previous fast car, the AMG GT R Pro, they went to their GT3 racing car and made it homologated for road use. Now that’s what I call going all out!
Under the bonnet of the GT Black Series is a reworked version of the famed 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Here are some exceptional power figures and performance establishing itself as one of the fastest production cars:

Additionally, the GT Black Series features an array of engine internal component changes, including upgraded pistons, rods, camshafts, a revised exhaust system and a flat-plane crankshaft to keep the rotating masses in check extracting maximum performance with minimal mechanical losses.
The mind-bending performance is supported by an adaptive suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, and extensive aerodynamic enhancements to ensure it can navigate corners with remarkable precision and agility. The car's chassis and suspension have undergone meticulous fine-tuning to maximize grip and stability, cementing its position as an exceptional contender on both the racetrack and open roads.
Finally, Mercedes tops it off with the inclusion of specially designed tyres from Michelin. There are a couple of compound options available for the owner to choose from as well.
