"Let’s cut to the chase: the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series is the most AMG you can have in a single chassis. By reaching impressive new heights in power, agility, style and even fun with unprecedented performance to boot, this track toy brings the latest and greatest innovations in motorsport to the open road. Under the hood is the most powerful turbocharged AMG 4.0-liter V8 engine, fine-tuned for optimal firing at minimal displacement. The numbers it achieves are truly staggering: 720 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds, 0-124mph in less than 9 seconds and a top speed of 202mph. This is the closest you’ll feel to the intensity of driving a racecar on the track. Aerodynamic design features like the carbon-fiber outlets on the hood help to improve downforce and high-speed control, while the mechanically adjustable diffuser and blades on the rear spoiler seamlessly adapt to the driving conditions. Its front-mid engine placement and rear-mounted transaxles also make for a perfect weight distribution. This allows for an optimal balance between speed and stability, which are undoubtedly the perfect words to encapsulate this incredible road-ready, track-focused car."—Official description[1]
