Black Mercedes Benz AMG GT

It’s Mercedes’ Porsche 911 rival, based on the SLS chassis, but shorter and without gullwing doors. The old 6.2-litre nat asp V8 has swung its last haymaker, killed by legislation, so now we have a dry-sump 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, but still driving the rear wheels only through a seven-speed double-clutch gearbox.

The numbers generated by this top-line S version are healthy enough: 503bhp at 6,250rpm and 479lb ft from 1750-4750rpm. Power is a bit down on the 562bhp SLS, but torque’s identical and delivered much lower down, and the numbers put the GT into direct competition with the Jag F-Type R (542bhp/501lb ft) and standard Porsche 911 Turbo (513bhp/486lb ft).

With that being said, it was decided that this Black Mercedes Benz AMG GT would be fitted with some of our Brixton Forged PF10 Targa series wheels finished in Firecracker Black (Gloss).
