Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Black Series specs

remember when you said that this wont get close to the gt2 rs well didnt age well

Than wtf was the 6:58 lap time a few months ago?

6:58 is more like it. The AMG BS will barely be faster than the Viper ACR

NO. they finely tuned the amg bs to perfection and can beat the gt2 rs mr albeit barely
remember its faster than the gt2 mr in hockeinring so why not at the ring

I think 6:43 is possible. Just look at that huge rear wing!

Actually I did say it wouldn't come close to the GT2RS MR laptime of 6:40. The question i have is what changes were made to the Black Series that would enable it to go from 6:58 to 6:43 and the answer would be quite substantial. I'm looking forward to seeing the onboard lap with GPS speedo to see how quickly it accelerates and the cornering speeds. Maro Engel who is as good as Lars Kern(Porsche) and Marco Mapelli(Lamborghini) was driving the Merc so the laptime was always going to be fast.

When manufacturers get involved, everything is possible

Maybe the 6:58 was the Sport Auto Time and is just not published yet? Would roughly fit to the difference we mostly see. Sometimes more, sometimes less...

The goss is that the AMG GT BS has been a regular visitor to the Nurb over the last 12 months where they've done shitloads of laps fine tuning the car so now that i know that the picture is becoming clearer for me. What's more is that AMG want to go faster and the 6:43 lap could be improved on so the rumour is that it will be back soon to do more laps and go even faster. The wonders of factory backing :)

The AMG is a front-engined car. It should be compared to the Corvette C7 ZR1 and / or the 812 Superfast for track performance. I am willing to bet 6:55 at the very best. Neither is as balanced as a mid- or rear-engined car in overall acceleration. They do have lateral grip advantage on figure-eight tracks and skidpads, though.

Front and rear-engine cars have their pros and cons on track. What is now clear is that AMG have done extensive fine-tuning at the Nurb and have a very fast track car as a result. The tech that goes into these cars is getting more and more advanced as time goes on so what is possible now wasn't 3 to 4 years ago.

It has the same power (allegedly) as the ZR1, similar weight distribution, aero, and stiffness. But the C7 chassis just can't handle the power.

The 812 doesn't have the tire, the aero, nor the suspension stiffness to compete with a hardcore track car. It's a GT car.

Are you still sniffing the ashes from your burnt down 458?

you're lucky the admin has a soft spot for black folks :)

Fire has a soft spot to black Ferraris too :)

let me put on my special glasses

aaaah, much better

You truly are a "special" breed :)

proxy ? no alt accounts ? lol

Still think I'm cauf's 1000th alt account? Lol

Start to get used to this...

lol you're cracking me up

Who knows, maybe I'll be the next Cosimo

Or you were all along. Nobody knows who and what and where is cosimo. Only cosimo himself.

All I know for sure is that commenter above (TailWag) is indeed cosimo.

check his ip and compare it to dante"s

but he's blocked

edit: I mean how can he post then?

i meant see the ip of the guest user tailwag and compare to dante's
the account still exist

lol now that's the cosimo that admin loved. Witty and clever..

If it were my money, I’d get the AMG. Equally fast on track and usable in the real world. it won’t go wrong all the time and it’ll hold value for years to come

I don't know, I think I would get the Ferrari, because it seems more comfortable than the Amg, faster on a straight line, greener and about as fast on a track. But if I had the money I wouldn't even choose, I'd get all 3 of them. Each of them is exceptional for different reasons

Actually the c7 Corvette zr1 puts down around 765 hp, and the 812 Superfast puts down 800 hp, and they are both front engined. However, they are both slower than the Amg on a track

That's like comparing a VW Golf 1.0 TSI to a Honda Civic Type R lmao

Or Chevrolet Corvette to Lamborghini Huracan.

Yeah, because the Corvette is faster AND better value.

Indeed!

Breaking News: Local man is so bitter, he makes an alt account to prove me wrong.

Fake Cosimo?
That's a brand new bs

Whoreghini

It HAS to be lambo lover he loves to smack other cars that arent Lamborghini

Manwhore-queer-ni

With lambo lover you mean the one that commented here or the one that is a die hard Porsche fanbOi?

the one that commente or may i be qrong

In any case, it was some dumbass Lambo fanboy.

I never do fake accounts
I'm not like him

ah so its another lambo lover

Ewww

I wonder who disliked.....

Probably this Hans guy

Or his alt

Practically identical to the GT2RS lap there re corner speed and acceleration so no surprise that there's 1/10 of a sec between them.

AMG did 3 km/h better on the straight tho

Do you have any picture of the laptime?

Wow that's fast

The AMG GT BS has most likely about 50 peak hp more than the GT2RS, similar weight and handling ability so it does have a small edge. The lap time difference at Hockenheim is 0.1 sec so it's bugger all.

Yes. Not sure how to upload pictures.

Faster than Even GT2 RS MR

Won't come close to the GT2RS MR Nurb laptime. Rumour was the Merc did a 6:58 lap there so they went back for more fine tuning. Let's wait and see how much they can improve that time when they go there next shall we...

well, if it really was 6:58 the gap really seems too big for me, even though it will be quick for sure. It is possible that it beats the Lambo Performante, but already the 6:47 time of the "normal" GT2 RS will be tough to beat. Will depend on how well-balanced it is, normally the Black Series models setups are extremely aggressive and too much aggressiveness can also cause problems on the ring...

The thing that most are oblivious to is that the Nurb is like no other permanent track on the planet. It's the closest thing that replicates driving on windy mountainous street roads complete with undulations, bumps, and bugger all run-off areas so that's why it's undeniably the best test track there is. Re the AMG BS i can see it matching or possibly bettering the Performante lap but as far as being "King of the Ring" nah i can't see it...

I heard a rumour that it did a 6:40

This article suggests that might have happened but it would've had lots of non- production enhancements so it isn't legal..

God damn. That's faster than the GT2 RS. I'm excited about the future results already.

So we have:

Mercedes AMG GT
Mercedes AMG GT S
Mercedes AMG GT R
Mercedes AMG GT R Pro
Mercedes AMG GT Black Series

And we are still missing:

Mercedes AMG GT Competition
Mercedes AMG GT Clubsport
Mercedes AMG GT EVO
Mercedes AMG GT Plus
Mercedes AMG GT Performance Package
Mercedes AMG GT Track Edition
Mercedes AMG GT Blck L1v3s Ma113r Edition

So this car (AMG GT) is barely half way through its development.

It's so bloody confusing, surely they could've come up with a different way to identify all the different versions?

And in 2030 we get the AMG GT Pro S 4MATIC+ Black Series 4-door 63 Electric Drive AMG:One Special Edition

BMW: M8 Competition
Audi: RS7 Performance
Cadillac: CTS-V
Mercedes: Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+ 4-Türer Coupé.

More names and acronyms = better. If I had a job in Mercedes marketing and had the sizable salary that they are paid, I would feel uncomfortable if I didn't add any letters or acronyms during my time working there.

They probably have bonuses based on how many letters they add to the model name. Performance based bonuses. Which makes sense, of course :)

Also, adding "Competition" to BMW X-series SUVs is just super corny. What kind of competition are they participating in those overweight SUVs? Competition in whos the biggest a-hole on the road?

Competition on who needs to compensate the most. I mean, both competition and compensation have the same first 5 letters.

"What kind of competition are they participating in those overweight SUVs?"

Who can tailgate you for longer on the autobahn :D

and you forgot the GT C and all the spider versions on this list XD

Blck L1v3s Ma113r Edition good idea

'Mercedes AMG GT Blck L1v3s Ma113r Edition'

sounds like black morse code that's been revived for 2021.

Should we add the laptime?

This site is like most other car sites ie. you're gonna get the good with the bad, not unlike the human race which has barely evolved, still sharing many traits to monkeys, judging by the conduct of peeps on a daily basis globally. Putting the negatives aside there's still worthwhile content here and i'm doing my best to educate the fans re what's real or not :)

This post has received too much negative feedback and is hidden. Click here to show it anyway.

We have such different styles i'm the diplomat(well most of the time) and you take no prisoners lol

I think it adds a little fun to the mix. The internet is already crowded with safe spaces, where you are so easy to offend people over nothing cough Twitter. I also get a good laugh from all the dumb stuff dante is posting all day, it's in fact making my day better.
Farewell.

Shut up you overgrown obese pelican, you give America a bad name. Just go and kiss Trump's feet until he gets better, if he ever does get better.

Obese Pelican

Actually pelicans are pretty cool birds.

And the irony is that this website is pretty damn safe and clean as well. I read every comment and remove stuff that is over the line.

If a website about cars with some trolling here and there is now "unsafe space", then we are really doomed.

But what can I expect from a generation which has grown up on Twitter, FB and Instagram and doesn't know what Internet is or was meant to be and what freedom of expression is.

The idea of Internet and Word Wide Web was to create a network of servers which host websites. These servers and websites would be run by many different people with many different views and interpretations on what is acceptable and what is not. The Internet was never meant to be this homogenous silicon valley dictatorship with insane censorship and just one opinion and one world view.

But today unfortunately that's what it is forcefully morphed into. There is no Internet, just corporatenet. Only 5-6 websites which have monopolized all traffic and all eyeballs and they are owned and run by very few people, none of which I personally like or respect very much.

in murica we have a policy that says, we don't negotiate with terrorists :)

in this time and era, there are quite few in the eu that are supporting i-ran.

Oh, he really left... :(

Thats really sad :((((
