AMG GT Black Series Returns
Mercedes‑AMG confirmed a new GT Black Series is coming — promised to be “the most extreme Black Series it has ever produced” and positioned as the road‑going sibling to the GT3 (drive.com.au). Prototype images with active aero were spied testing at the Nürburgring this week, signaling a serious track‑focused aero and handling push (thesupercarblog.com).
Mercedes‑AMG’s official release on March 24, 2026 identifies the CONCEPT AMG GT TRACK SPORT as the technology platform behind two production derivatives. (media.mbusa.com) Prototypes have been in dynamic testing since October 2025 at Immendingen, Bilster Berg, Portimão and Monteblanco before the program moved to the Nürburgring Nordschleife. (media.mbusa.com) The company has adopted a color code for development cars—yellow for the Black Series and red for the GT3—and published photos show the camouflaged Yellow prototype fitted with Michelin road tyres and production-spec lighting that separate it from the racer. (media.mbusa.com) Recent spy images highlight race‑scale aero: a top‑mounted wing with oversized endplates, side‑exit exhausts, plexiglass‑style side windows and active louvers integrated into the bodywork. (autoevolution.com) Mercedes‑AMG says the road‑legal variant will act as the homologation car for the next GT3 generation and that detailed technical specs and a global debut date will be released at a later stage. (media.mbusa.com) For reference, the 2021 AMG GT Black Series used a hand‑built 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 rated at 720 hp and 590 lb‑ft with a factory 0–60 mph of about 3.1 seconds, and early coverage indicates journalists expect a V8‑based powertrain again.
