Mercedes-AMG Confirms New GT Black Series and GT3 Race Car

Mercedes-AMG is set to launch a new generation of high-performance vehicles, confirming the development of a new Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series alongside its motorsport counterpart, the next-generation AMG GT3 race car. The announcement builds upon the foundation laid by the CONCEPT AMG GT TRACK SPORT unveiled last year.

Black Series: The Most Extreme Yet

AMG boss Michael Schiebe has described the upcoming Black Series as “the most extreme Black Series ever,” as reported by Top Gear. This suggests a significant leap in performance and track focus compared to previous Black Series models, which were already known for their uncompromising design and capabilities. The new car will serve as a homologation model for the next-generation GT3 race car, meaning the road-going version is being developed in tandem with its racing sibling.

Concept to Reality: The Track Sport Foundation

The CONCEPT AMG GT TRACK SPORT, revealed in 2025, serves as the technology platform for both the new GT3 and the future GT Black Series. According to Mercedes-AMG, the concept car was designed from the outset to be more than just a showpiece, representing a commitment to maximum performance on both the racetrack and the road.

Uncompromising Performance for Road and Track

Mercedes-AMG aims to set new standards in both Customer Racing and road car performance with this project. As stated by Mercedes-AMG, the road-legal variant of the concept car will be used as a homologation model for the GT3 successor. The name “TRACK SPORT” highlights the shared focus on uncompromising track performance between the GT3 and the extreme road-legal capabilities of the Black Series models.

What to Expect

Although specific details regarding horsepower and performance figures remain undisclosed, the new AMG GT Black Series is expected to surpass the capabilities of the current AMG GT 63 Pro, which already delivers over 600 horsepower. Car and Driver reports that the Black Series will likely continue the tradition of delivering near-racecar-level performance in a road-legal package. Previous Black Series models, like the 2021 AMG GT Black Series, featured a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine and extensive use of carbon fiber to reduce weight.

Looking Ahead

The development of the new GT Black Series and GT3 race car signifies Mercedes-AMG’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of performance and innovation. Further details on both vehicles will be announced at a later date, promising an exciting future for AMG enthusiasts and motorsport fans alike.
