Reserved for its most performance-focused models, the Black Series treatment was bestowed by Mercedes-Benz for a sixth—and to date, most recent—time upon the AMG GT coupé. While the track day hero gained far more aggressive aerodynamics, a drag-reduction system, unique suspension, and incorporated greater use of carbon fibre, the headline change was found under the bonnet. The engineers in Affalterbach revised the twin-turbocharged 4-litre V-8 to bless the powerplant with a flat-, rather than cross-plane, crankshaft. A new firing order and higher rev limit resulted in 730 horsepower being sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission for a 3.2-second launch to 62 mph and a 202 mph top speed.
However, prized customers could still climb higher by placing an order for an AMG GT Black Series Project One Edition. This special model was exclusively offered to those who had secured an allocation for the Mercedes-AMG One hybrid hypercar. It is believed that approximately only 40 were ultimately built with half finding their way to the United States.
By contrast, the Project One Edition offered here was ordered new to France. Specified in High-Tech Silver, which graduates to Obsidian Black towards the rear of the car and is adorned in Mercedes-Benz’s Three-Pointed Star logos plus teal accents, the livery paid tribute to the W10. Aboard the Formula 1 car, Lewis Hamilton won the 2019 Drivers’ World Championship as Mercedes-AMG chalked its sixth of a record eight consecutive Constructors’ titles.
Delivered in January 2021, this Project One Edition has remained under the care of the consigning owner from new. Fitted with the AMG Track Package, the car is equipped with four-point Schroth harnesses, a fire extinguisher, and titanium rear roll cage. In February 2025, the car was treated to a service, 178-point inspection, and geometry check by official Mercedes-Benz dealer de Willermin Vitrolles at a cost of €762 (invoice available on file).
Sparingly driven throughout its life, the car’s odometer displayed just 2,141 kilometres at the time of cataloguing. A first aid kit, car cover, tyre repair kit, and a set of plates to optimise camber settings for each track accompany this incredibly rare AMG GT Black Series Project One Edition.
