Mercedes-AMG has revealed a limited-run GT Track Series to celebrate the its 55th year, stripping the Black Series out for track-only thrills -
Said to be the marque’s most powerful customer sports car yet, the GT Track Series takes the Black Series platform and strips it of niceties such as padding, electric windows and interior trim, though air conditioning does remain. The result is a 122kg reduction in weight over the road car, bringing the total figure to an impressive 1400kg.
Sending power to the rear wheels is a new Hewland six-speed sequential race-spec transmission, with 325-section front and rear tyres transferring that power to the tarmac. Under the arches you’ll also find new forged 18-inch wheels and 390mm six-piston front, 355mm four-piston rear steel brakes with a brake beam for adjustable brake balance. New Bilstein dampers include high and low speed adjustability in rebound and compression too, with adjustable anti-roll bars also included.
Inside, it’s all-out motorsport, with Mercedes-AMG focussing primarily on ease of use and safety. A steel roll cage is bolted directly to the aluminium space frame, with a large carbon safety cell included to allow space for even tall drivers. A five-point safety harness, roof-mounted extrication hatch, motorsport fire extinguisher system, driver safety nets and customisable foam seats all help it meet the latest FIA standards.
Alongside the embossed ‘1 of 55’ plaque and ‘Track Series’ seat embroidery, a new steering wheel, adjustable pedals, a Bosch DDU 11 Driver Display Unit with data logging and a 12-way adjustable ABS and traction control system also set it apart from the standard car.To make track sessions a less stressful affair, Mercedes-AMG will provide each buyer with a service and support package, giving them with engineer support upon request, a service hotline and logistical services for spare parts.
The €369,000 , plus VAT, price doesn’t seem so high when you consider the £335,000 price tag of the Black Series. Just 55 units will be produced in total, and buyers can add the likes of a spare parts starter kit, a seat and helmet ventilation system, drinking system and a passenger safety cell at an additional cost.
