Overview
- Mercedes‑AMG, which on Tuesday named both projects and released camouflaged images, has moved prototype testing to the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
- The road‑legal GT Black Series will serve as the homologation model for the GT3, meaning the racer must be approved off a version sold to the public.
- Affalterbach Racing GmbH, AMG’s new in‑house subsidiary, is developing the GT3 with Mercedes‑AMG Motorsport and is targeting a 2027 race debut according to multiple reports.
- AMG has not shared engine or performance specs, and outlets describe likely setups as speculation, including an updated twin‑turbo V8 and possible mild‑hybrid assistance.
- Prototype photos show wider bodies, side‑exit exhausts and extreme aero parts such as a large front splitter and swan‑neck rear wing, with red accents marking GT3 mules and yellow‑green marking the Black Series.
