The new Mercedes AMG GT Black Series engine is based on the AMG 4-litre V8 biturbo engine with dry sump lubrication
It has output of 730 hp and delivers a maximum torque of 800 Nm
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h happens in just 3.2 seconds
and to 200 km/h in under nine seconds the top speed is 325 km/h
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via the seven-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7G dual clutch transmission
which is located on the rear axle in a transaxle arrangement for optimal weight distribution
transmission has been modified for use in the AMG GT Black Series and adapted to the increased torque
The carbon-fibre front splitter has two manually adjustable settings Street and Race
When extended forward in race position
a front diffuser in the shape of an upside-down aerofoil profile is then created under the front end
the new carbon-fibre bonnet with two large exhaust air outlets
is another direct derivative from motorsport
The large outlets guide the warm air which is fed from the diagonally positioned cooling pack
out of the engine compartment
this technology increases the overall downforce
the seamlessly integrated louvres with five fins
and exhaust air openings behind the wheels in the front carbon-fibre wings
help to increase downforce at the front axle by means of effective wheel arch ventilation
The rear view is characterised by the new rear apron with a large diffuser
two rounded twin tailpipe trims on the outside left and right
side wheel arch ventilation and the innovative rear aerofoil concept
both aerofoil blades can be mechanically adjusted and are made from carbon fibre
the active aerodynamic movable flap in the upper blade is electronically adjusted by 20 degrees
to suit the driving situation and thus influences on the longitudinal and transverse dynamics
in a flat position it reduces the air resistance to help reach the top speed more quickly
in the inclined position the flap improves braking performance
and cornering stability thanks to increased downforce
The flap is permanently inclined and extended from 20 km/h to 250 km/h
when the speed exceeds 250 km/h
it retracts in order to reduce the air resistance and thus reach the top speed more quickly
The standard ceramic high-performance compound brake system has low weight and high performance
Special brake pads and discs together with modified brake cooling guarantee optimal and non-fading deceleration
The standard light-alloy forged wheels also contribute to weight reduction
an AMG coil-over suspension with adjustable spring preload is used in the Black Series
