GT (C192) AMG GT Track Sport (New Black Series)

[Jonathan19]

Great video! Shows the hydraulically adjustable ride height,
the wide front diffusers...

...you can see the suspension pick up points through the side air channels...

...the sculpted hood under the camouflage...

Also, I can't find find a single car that uses HL prefix (high load) on its tires that isn't an EV or SUV.
It wouldn't surprise me if this thing eclipses the GT3 version in downforce.

It’s going to be a real monster that’s going to cause quite a stir!

Wow check that massive rear diffuser how close it is to the road!! That huge wing must provide a shit load of downforce!!!~~

The X192 model series code reveals that the AMG GT Black Series no longer has much in common with the "regular" AMG GT Coupé of the C192 series.

Rumors suggest the new GT Black Series will use carbon fiber in its body structure and replace the NAG3 (9G-Tronic) transmission. This will bring back the transaxle layout of the SLS AMG and the C190 generation AMG GT.

Here's what's known so far about the new AMG GT Black Series (X192):
V8 BiTurbo with a straight crankshaft and dry sump lubrication system
Side exhaust pipes located in front of the rear wheels (a return from the McLaren-Mercedes SLR)
This makes the rear diffuser wider and provides better airflow.
The vehicle can be lowered to achieve a lower center of gravity on the racetrack.
Michelin Cup2 R tires: Front 325/35 ZR20 and rear 355/30 ZR21. Active aerodynamic design with DRS (foldable) rear wing for higher top speed on flat roads.
ventilated fender
As in the AMG One, wheel arch ventilation is provided via actively controlled winglets on the top, reducing back pressure in the wheel arch and optimizing downforce.

So this is a halo top of the line vehicle a’la SLR with the price and extremity to go with it. I like it, although I am not its target market. This strategy means, likely, no lower models without wings.

Makes sense why AMG felt comfortable abandoning the original coupe for the conventional current generation. However, I believe it was a miss to label the current GT a GT rather than a SLC. I get why they did, to orient their market on the intent of the model and not shock them that the next “GT” would be three times the price.

The tyre size on this GT Black Series are going to be enormous, wow 325 width in the front!!!! and 355 at the rear. I dont recall any other production car with wider tyres front and rear as this car.

This will be a car you take out for special occasions, not to get groceries like the current GT. It will essentially be a more expensive, sophisticated, German-built Viper ACR.

It definitely makes sense as a true successor to the SLR and the SLS.

Only if it was a Non EV

EV In this price bracket are a waste

Zero chance this is EV. Flat-plane v8

 

[leylandi]

GT 4door : BEV
GT Black Series : V8

The last black series was over $300,000. No way this one is going to be cheaper. If this is a true successor to the McMerc SLR (which was $400,000+ in 2003 - which translates to about $700,000 in today's money), then expect no less than $500,000.

And let's be real. This car is a fantasy at any price for anyone other than the multi millionaire or billionaire, so perhaps just shut the f#ck up if you're even remotely in the market for it.

Just hope they have trickle down models.

Will be between €450K to €600K that my bet.

I would assume so.
Depends entirely on how many they anticipate on selling. If the demand is very, very strong for it, then they can probably make it in a quantity enough to justify a lower price. At the end of the day, they need to cover the development cost.
If the demand is low and niche, they'll charge more.

 

[leylandi]

They asked for $750,000 for this nonsense. They should be asking for $1 million for the GT BS.

The teaser will help AMG guage demand from prospective buyers reaching out to their dealers. This will help inform production numbers and price.

It definitely makes sense as a true successor to the SLR and the SLS.

The SLR and SLS were exercises in absolute design accompanied by corresponding performance; this is an exercise in absolute performance accompanied (surely) by a corresponding design, so it does not follow that lineage but goes in another direction.

The SLR was amongst the fastest cars of its time. Beaten only by the Carrera GT and F60 Enzo.
The new GT BS might not be exactly the same in approach, but the lineage has remained through the SLS and C190 GT. The benchmark for performance has changed dramatically in the last 25 years, though and it needs to adapt to that.

 

[Dopebouy]

They definitely need to make lesser versions of this. They have to be nicely priced/accessible, lightweight & performative.

Think Artura,GR GT, Vantage $150,000-$220,000 type of car. They should be aiming for that, Someone needs to make a petition to make them consider this or tell their connections to suggest that it could quite be a phenomenal car!
