AMG has unleashed the beast with the GT Black Series, a car that marks a significant shift for the brand. This machine is a throwback to AMG's racing roots, and it shows. The previous SLS Black Series set the stage for this transformation, with its excessive size and powerful engine. And now, the GT Black Series takes it to a whole new level.
This car is a true powerhouse, with its monstrous looks and aggressive performance. It's lighter than its predecessors, shedding 35 kilos compared to the AMG GTR and 30 kilos compared to the SLS. The driving experience is pure adrenaline, with a race car feel that instantly grabs your attention. The improved dampening technology makes it more usable, while still delivering that extreme feel that you would expect from a Black Series.
Inside, the GT Black Series strikes a balance between race car vibes and comfort. It's not completely stripped out, which may seem odd at first, but it actually highlights the extraordinary nature of the car. You can imagine using and enjoying this car on the road, putting miles on it at any speed. The chassis and steering are responsive, giving you a thrilling and precise driving experience. And as you push it harder, the car comes alive, rewarding you with even more excitement.
Under the hood, the twin-turbo V8 engine delivers impressive performance. It may not have the same emotional appeal as the naturally aspirated V8 in the SLS, but it makes up for it with its accessibility and power. The sound may not be as good as the standard car, but the acceleration is superb. The carbon ceramic brakes provide excellent stopping power, although the pedal could use a bit more progression.
Overall, the AMG GT Black Series is a triumph. It takes the raw road racer formula that AMG started with the SLS Black Series and evolves it to new heights. AMG has successfully met the challenge of downsizing engines, creating one of the most engaging and sharp chassis in the industry. This car is a true testament to AMG's commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering an exhilarating driving experience.
