The next Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series is no longer just a rumor. Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius has publicly promised a new Black Series, called it “insane,” and tied it directly to AMG’s upcoming flat-plane-crank V8 and the next GT3 race car. That sets expectations sky-high for what could be AMG’s wildest road car of this decade.
Källenius has also made clear that this project sits at the heart of Mercedes’ plan to keep serious combustion performance alive alongside plug-in hybrids and EVs. For anyone who still cares about big-power V8 AMGs, this Black Series will be a key test of how long that formula sticks around.
