The Black Series slots at the top of the range, featuring a race-inspired exterior and the most powerful iteration of the 4.0-liter V-8 engine yet. Heavily upgraded and capable of 720 horsepower, the Black Series’ mill is also the most powerful production V-8 from AMG. The Black Series model is also the most expensive from the lineup and the only Mercedes-Benz that costs in excess of €300,000.
New Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series Styling
The new Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series looks a whole lot more aggressive than a normal GT, and that’s because it borrows from Mercedes’ GT3 racing car. There are also extra considerations given to cooling and aerodynamics, which affect the way the car looks – particularly on the bonnet. There are vents all over the car, including on that huge bonnet and behind the front wheels to suck hot air away from the brakes when you’re driving hard on a race track.
At the back there’s a gigantic wing to create extra downforce, and the body kit around the whole car helps with that too. Loads of the extra bits are made from lightweight carbon-fibre.
