One of the most focused AMGs ever, the GT Black Series astounded when it hit the Green Hell in 2020. On the longer stretch, its time was 6:48.047 minutes, narrowly edging ahead of the GT3 RS. The same goes for the shorter 12.8-mile time of 6:43.616 minutes. At the time, this made the AMG GT Black Series the record-holder for production cars, moving ahead of the Aventador SVJ.
Besides its 720-hp 4.0-liter V8, the Black Series has an AMG coilover suspension with adaptive damping, a nine-stage traction control system, and adjustable splitters and upper wing blades, all of which allowed the AMG team to configure it perfectly for the best possible time. On the Dottinger Hohe straight, the Black Series was able to hit 186 mph.
It took a monumental effort from AMG, with help from the brand’s F1 division, to create another car that could surpass the GT Black Series, but more on that later.
