Could This be the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series?

It is now confirmed that Mercedes-AMG is developing an AMG GT4 racer. First sketches of the track car were published on their official Instagram account recently. Therefore, we can conclude that the prototype spotted at the Nurburgring is of the AMG GT4.

Mercedes-AMG is now in the process of developing a GT4 race car! The AMG Customer Sports division continues to grow as the revolutionary new GT4 is added to an already outstanding stable of machines. This new vehicle will incorporate design and engineering elements based on the Mercedes-AMG GT R that was launched earlier this year. As with any Mercedes-AMG product, our newest “top athlete” will be designed with the highest level of safety and user-friendliness in mind during the development process.

The upcoming Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series will be powered by the same 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 with close to 600 hp. Like its Black Series predecessors, the new model is expected to see limited production.
