Default AMG CEO says a GT Black Series is a "must do" model


Mercedes-AMG CEO Tobias Moers has reiterated plans for an AMG GT Black Series.

Speaking to Autocar, Moers said an "AMG GT Black is a car we must do." However, he hinted it's several years off as he stated "Black Series cars tend to come towards the end of a car’s production cycle."

Moers also revealed we can expect a "full family" of AMG variants in the future. He declined to go into specifics but the company has already confirmed plans for an AMG GT3. There have also been rumors about an AMG GT Convertible and Moers, himself, has previously hinted at a mysterious "nice" variant that is expected to slot between the GT S and GT Black Series.

They'd better push 600hp with the black series.

LEXUS should really have " It's ALL, or nothing" mentality for their F cars

Which means it will probably start at around C$160k in Canada !!

That's slightly lower priced than the SL63 AMG ......

I want to like this car, it looks beautiful, it's affordable (for a supercar), it will likely perform well, but... but there is something about SLS, that GT doesn't have.

I'll continue saying that technically the AMG GT is very nice, but gosh is it fugly.

Give me NSX instead of this melted chocolate frog.
