THE AMG GT BLACK SERIES
Officially launched at the Paris Motor Show in October 2014, the Mercedes-AMG GT is historically significant as only the second sports car developed entirely by Affalterbach-based AMG, the first being the SLS AMG. Styled in house by a team headed by Robert Lešnik, the Mercedes-AMG GT restated the traditional 'long bonnet, small cabin, short tail' sports car look in a manner suggesting muscular horsepower while retaining all the elegance associated with Mercedes-Benz. Although it used conventional doors rather than the SLS's 'Gullwing' type, the GT featured numerous styling references to its illustrious distant ancestor and was an instant hit with the public.
Boasting a chassis/body of mainly aluminum construction, the GT is powered by a hand-built M178 V8 engine. Positioned well back in the wheelbase for better weight distribution, this might power plant produces 469bhp in the mainstream model with 515 horsepower on tap in the GT S. The transmission consists of a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox incorporated into a rear transaxle, again with ideal weight distribution in mind (Mercedes claim what it calls an optimum 47/53% front/rear split). The GT was face-lifted in 2017, gaining a little more power in the process.
In recent years Mercedes-AMG has produced several limited edition 'Black Series' variants of its high-performance models, and the GT is no exception. Introduced for 2021, the pumped-up Black Series version came with all of 720 horsepower on tap courtesy of extensive changes made to the M178 engine. The suspension system is unique to the Black Series, with camber adjustable at both front and rear, and the model also came with carbon-ceramic brake discs a standard. Mostly made of carbon fiber, the body incorporates numerous aerodynamic devices, including an active aero flap in the rear wing. Claimed performance figures for the Black Series were a 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 202mph. On 4th November 2020 a Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series driven by Maro Engel set a new production car lap record at the fearsome Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit with a lap in 6:43.616.
THE CAR OFFERED
Proudly offered from The Orange Collection is this fantastic 2021 AMG GT Black Series coupe, finished in Magma Beam Orange, a spectacular color reserved exclusively for the Black Series models that came as a $9,900 option. The Black Series' pumped-up aesthetics are made even more aggressive via this car's exposed carbon rear deck, roof, and hood accents, massive rear spoiler, and black finish staggered wheels. The accompanying CARFAX shows this well-maintained car has had three owners from new and displays a mere 1,991 miles, recorded at the time of cataloguing.
The extensive option list includes such niceties as AMG sport seats, exterior carbon package, AMG active extendable rear spoiler, interior night package, carbon ceramic brakes, and black/anthracite microfiber suede upholstery with deviated orange stitching and accents. With such low mileage, the car presents in fittingly excellent order, and includes a clean CARFAX report, AMG Black Series supplement books, recent service history, and factory accessory wheel locks.
Packing a mighty 720bhp V8 and with an attitude that is equal parts GT3 racer and brutish muscle car, this stunning, low-mileage AMG GT Black Series packs a mighty punch that lives up to its jaw-dropping looks. In a sea of silver, black, and grey, it is indeed good to be orange.
