Recently, Mercedes-AMG officially released the official map of its AMG GT Track Series models. The new car is based on the AMG GT Black Series, which can be regarded as a track version of the Black Series, which was also launched to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the AMG brand and will be used exclusively for scenes such as track days and club events. It is reported that the new car will be limited to 55 units, and delivery will begin in the second quarter of 2022, and the overseas starting price of the new car before tax is 369,000 euros (about 2.5875 million yuan).
The overall design idea combines the GT3 racing car with the Black Series model, providing a larger trapezoidal forward grille and a straight waterfall type mid-mesh structure, a larger area of ventilation and heat dissipation openings on both sides of the front surround, a further widening of the front lip size, and a smaller size of spoilers on both sides. In addition, the design of the new front bonnet basically continues the concept of GT3 racing, and the hot air in the engine compartment will be extracted from the cabin cover through a ventilation opening.
In addition, the new car adopts a unique "Manufaktur Hightech Silver Magno" lampshade with a semi-gloss finish, and the body is also redesigned with painted florals, which are matched by red and black to show endless passion and charm.
Shark fin-style wheel arch wind openings are featured on the front fenders to further extract air from the front wheel arches to reduce lift on the vehicle's front axle. In addition, a new aerodynamic side skirt plate was installed at the vehicle side skirt position, which was shaped to guide air to the rear wheels and cool the rear brakes. The rear triangular window section of the vehicle also has a quick refueling port, and everything is designed to prepare for the track.
The rear spoiler is still designed on the Black Series, and the double-layer spoiler has an adjustable angle function to improve downforce performance in different use scenarios. In addition, the rear window glass rear surround is weight reduction and light treatment, the functionality of the tail diffuser device is further optimized, and the exhaust layout of the bilateral four outs makes the visual impact reach the extreme. It is worth mentioning that the weight of the reduced body is only 1400 kg.
The interior is basically based on the racing scene, most of the interior has been hollowed out, and the use of carbon fiber decorative panels to reduce weight; the new car is also equipped with a fully programmable Bosch DDU 11 instrument panel and a multi-function steering wheel for the event, almost all the data of the vehicle can be displayed on the dashboard, and many function adjustments can also be done only on the steering wheel.
The seats will also be made of carbon fibre and tailored to the owner for better ergonomics. Inside the Track Series, there is also a high-strength steel roll cage that complies with the latest FIA standards, which is bolted directly to the vehicle's aluminium frame, as well as a five-point seat belt and fire extinguisher system.
Functionally, the driver can use the racing-style traction control and anti-lock braking system to adjust the handling status of the vehicle for different tracks, such as the ESP body stabilization system has a total of 12 levels of adjustment, or the front and rear brake balance can be adjusted through the knob. Chassis-wise, the Track Series features four-way adjustable Bilstein suspension damping, and each shock absorber has high-speed/low-speed settings for adjusting rebound and compression. In addition, the vehicle can also adjust the driving height and change the front and rear anti-roll bar settings, as well as the locking setting of the rear differential, in order to better meet the driving needs of the rider.
Power will be based on the flat crankshaft 4.0T twin-turbo V8 engine of the AMG GT Black Series, but after optimization of key parts such as the fuel injection system, its maximum power has been increased to 735 hp and a maximum torque of 850 Nm, which is 5 hp and 50 Nm higher than the Black Series. In terms of drivetrain, the new car will be matched with a racing Hewland HLS sequence six-speed transmission, resulting in faster gear changes and power response.
