Mercedes-AMG GT Track Series
To begin with, the GT Track Series is the most powerful sports car to be developed by the company yet. It is an extended version or it is based on the legendary Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series. The Black Series is a high-performance track-focused car. The GT Track Series is a notch above it. The car is aimed at top-level performance, combining it with the racetrack qualities also underlining its high exclusivity by numerous technical and visual features.
The car just weighs 1,400 kg, thanks to the generous use of carbon fibre all over the car. The interior, bonnet, sills, back door, rear apron and wings are made of carbon fibre. You don’t have infotainment or an AC system because you can’t drive it on road. Yes, you read it right. This track-focused car is illegal to drive on normal roads.
