The 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series is documented as one high-performance model, not a lineup of multiple Black Series trims. Mercedes-AMG’s July 2020 launch specifications describe a rear-wheel-drive coupe with a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 rated at 730 PS, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and track-focused equipment that varied by market.

2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series specifications

The figures below are manufacturer-published launch specifications from Mercedes-AMG’s July 2020 release. They describe the model’s launch configuration; they are not independent test results.

Maximum power 537 kW (730 PS) at 6,700–6,900 rpm

Mercedes-AMG’s launch figures are 3.2 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and less than nine seconds from 0 to 200 km/h. The quoted 325 km/h maximum speed is explicitly limited to closed race-track use in the detailed release; it should not be read as a public-road target or recommendation.

Fuel consumption and emissions

At launch, Mercedes-AMG listed combined fuel consumption of 12.8 l/100 km, CO₂ emissions of 292 g/km, and efficiency class G. Those figures were derived under the NEDC-related EU procedure cited in the July 2020 release. They are historical launch values, not current WLTP figures or a guarantee of real-world consumption.

Factory tires and track-focused equipment

Mercedes-AMG describes active aerodynamics and design influenced by the AMG GT3. Its launch material names Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R MO1A “soft compound” tires as factory fitment, in different sizes front and rear:

  • Front: 285/35 ZR 19
  • Rear: 335/30 ZR 20

The release also describes an MO2 “hard compound” option for track operation at higher temperatures, available through AMG Performance Centers. Tire fitment and availability can depend on axle, market, and the car’s current configuration; verify those details with an authorized source before purchasing.

Was there more than one 2021 Black Series trim?

The official launch material describes one GT Black Series configuration. It does not establish a multi-trim Black Series lineup or a complete 2021 factory-order guide. The AMG Track Package was an optional equipment package in many markets, rather than evidence of a separate trim. Mercedes-AMG said it was offered only with AMG carbon bucket seats and was not available in the USA, Canada, or China.

For markets where offered, the Track Package included a roll-over protection system, track-use four-point belts for the driver and passenger, and a 2-kg fire extinguisher. These are selected launch details, not a complete options catalogue or a country-by-country availability list.

What the launch specifications do—and do not—establish

The manufacturer’s July 2020 release is a useful source for the Black Series’ core technical specifications and selected equipment. It does not provide a complete 2021 regional MSRP, a full market-by-market order matrix, production totals, or present-day tire inventory. Prices and ordering details therefore need confirmation from a market-specific Mercedes-AMG document or dealer; they cannot be inferred from the launch specification sheet.
