We talked about the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series a couple of weeks ago, and we said earlier that base prices would likely start at around $ 389,000. Turns out, the newest and most powerful AMG production vehicle will cost less than that.
In its recent press release, Mercedes-AMG has officially announced pricing for its 2021 GT Black Series. It starts at $ 325,000 (excluding $ 1,050 destination charges) and will hit US dealerships in early 2021. That’s a lot of money for a track-focused GT sports car, but you get a lot of engine (and speed) in return. .
Last month, the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series became the fastest production vehicle to turn the treacherous Nürburgring Nordschleife. He did it in 6: 43.616 in the shortest 12.8-mile rack while completing the full 12.944-mile route in 6: 48.047.
The newer Black Series toppled the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ to claim the crown, not an easy feat given that the Lambo had a time of 6: 44.97 on the shortest section of the track, and Mercedes-AMG did so in less driving conditions. that ideals.
The video says it all. For a starting price of $ 325,000, you get a V8-powered monster GT with the track-conquering fundamentals of a supercar. The GT Black Series has a handcrafted V8 engine that develops 720 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. The engine sends power to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch AMG-SPEEDSHIFT gearbox.
And with easily accessible peak torque from 2,000 to 6,000 rpm, it accelerates to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds and breaks the 124 mph barrier in less than nine seconds. Top speed is 202 mph, it’s no wonder why it’s the fastest production car to hit the Nürburgring.
The 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series is the result of critical learning gained from the brand’s GT3 and GT4 race cars. It has a larger cooling air intake than the AMG GT race car, and the new carbon fiber hood with large air vents offers better cooling and more downforce. Meanwhile, the upper and lower forks of the rear axle have bearings that resist play to ensure stable handling under higher loads.
Despite the newer GT Black Series being a serious performance contender, the interior hasn’t lost its grand tourer roots. It has AMG high-performance seats, AMG microfiber steering wheel, premium Nappa leather and DINAMICA microfiber upholstery, and matte black carbon fiber trim. Also standard is a 12.3-inch instrument display and a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen.
Other performance-related features include a two-piece carbon fiber rear spoiler (matte black finish), 19-inch front forged wheels and 20-inch forged wheels, a carbon fiber front splitter and an adjustable AMG coilover suspension. .
