Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series: Technical specifications

The Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series has a V8 engine with a flat crankshaft that develops 537 kW (730 hp) at 6700-6900 rpm and delivers a peak torque of 800 Nm available at 2000-6000 rpm. The V8 pushed the supercar from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, and 0 to 200 km/h in under 9 seconds with a top speed of 325 km/h. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via the seven-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7G dual-clutch transmission.

In comparison to all the V8 engines used in the previous AMGs, the GT Black Series comes with ‘flat crankshaft’ variant of the V8 engine that allows smoothness and high torque at low rotational speeds. Moreover, the use of ‘flat crankshaft’ in the ‘flat plane’ V8 engine creates uniformly oscillating gas columns that provide enhanced engine performance
