Mercedes-AMG has confirmed the return of the GT Black Series, developed in parallel with an all-new GT3 race car. Both models share a common platform rooted in the Concept AMG GT Track Sport revealed last year.
AMG describes it as the most extreme Black Series ever produced, slotting above the GT 63 Pro in the current GT line-up.
The previous GT Black Series, launched in 2020, used a flat-plane crank version of AMG's twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 producing 720bhp. The new model is expected to use an updated version of that engine, the same unit reportedly destined for a forthcoming limited-production Mythos model based on the CLE Coupe.
Power figures haven't been confirmed, but AMG says performance will move well beyond the current GT 63 Pro's 603bhp and 3.2 second 0-100km/h time.
The joint development approach with the GT3 programme is central to what makes this Black Series different. Developing both cars from the same starting point allows AMG to transfer learnings from the track more directly, particularly in aerodynamics, cooling and chassis tuning.
Prototypes have been testing since October 2025 at Immendingen, Bilster Berg, Portimão and Monteblanco, with Nurburgring Nordschleife testing now underway. The production car will wear yellow-green as its signature colour with red reserved for the GT3.
The Black Series name has been in use since 2006, starting with the SLK 55 AMG and continuing through a series of low-volume, track-focused road cars.
No pricing, specifications or on-sale date have been confirmed for Australia.
When full details land, this is shaping up as the most track-capable road-registered AMG ever built.
