There is.
I believe there were some co-pilot drive videos out showing it off. From the camera it looks shockingly convincing.

Of course "it's so familiar". The FoMoCo 390 V8 in Frank Bullitt's 1968 Mustang GT fastback.

I think Next Black Series cars should have more bespoke & special seats

Something like these Mclaren bucket seats:

These look so COOL.
What do you guys think?

Mercedes need to bring out Black Series saloons.

Remember the Black Series 204 Wagon prototypes that never made it to production? With the pre-facelift front end? That was BEAUTIFUL.

Mercedes uses weird test mules for different vehicle types.
I remember this super short E63 running the track and the media was guessing it was a test mule for the current GT and SL models.
Early test mules are nothing to go on.

What the Hell Is This Weird Mercedes-AMG Test Mule?

(It's a mule for the next-gen SL roadster and AMG GT.)

Out of curiosity, I asked AI if Mercedes AMG would consider producing a 4-door Black-Series and why have thay not done it in the past.

Mercedes-AMG has never produced a 4-door (sedan or otherwise) Black Series model primarily because the Black Series badge has historically been reserved for extreme, track-focused, low-volume, two-door coupes (or convertibles turned coupes) that prioritize radical performance, weight reduction, motorsport-derived tech, and exclusivity over practicality.


Here's a quick rundown of why this pattern holds:

• All official Black Series models to date have been two-door cars: SLK 55 AMG Black Series (2006), CLK 63 AMG Black Series (2007), SL 65 AMG Black Series (2008), C63 AMG Coupé Black Series (2011), SLS AMG Black Series (2013), and the most recent GT Black Series (2021). These are built as hardcore, lightweight, aero-optimized machines with massive power upgrades, often limited to a few hundred or thousand units.
• Black Series emphasizes "uncompromisingly sporty" designs with elements like massive wings, carbon-fiber everything, stripped interiors, and track prowess (e.g., Nürburgring records). A 4-door body style adds weight, complexity, and compromises the razor-sharp focus on pure driving dynamics that defines the badge.
• Mercedes-AMG has offered ultra-high-performance 4-doors through other lines, like the E63 S, GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe, or even the GT 63 S E Performance hybrid. These deliver massive power (often 600+ hp) and serve as practical super-sedans, but they don't go to the same extreme lengths as Black Series in terms of weight savings, aero aggression, or track-only tuning.

As for whether they'd ever consider a 4-door Black Series:

• AMG's outgoing CEO (as of early 2026 reports) explicitly confirmed that Black Series models will continue in the future, calling it "an obligation" and stressing they must remain radical, convincing in performance, and true to the brand's hardcore roots.
• However, there's no indication of a 4-door version in the works. Recent teases point toward concepts like the AMG GT Track Sport (a V8-powered hardcore coupe) as the likely next Black Series direction, keeping the focus on two-door purity.
• With AMG pushing more combustion engines (new V8s, inline-sixes) alongside EVs/hybrids, and introducing ultra-exclusive lines like Mythos for even rarer specials, a 4-door Black Series seems unlikely unless market demand or engineering breakthroughs align perfectly. The GT 4-Door platform already offers extreme variants, so a Black Series on it might dilute what makes the badge special.

In short, Black Series is AMG's "track terror" halo for two-doors—think ultimate lap-time monsters rather than family haulers with wings. A 4-door would be awesome in theory (imagine an E63/GT63-level beast gone full radical), but it hasn't fit the program's DNA so far, and current signals suggest it probably won't anytime soon.
