Mercedes-AMG caused a stir last year with the CONCEPT AMG GT TRACK SPORT and the concept car serves as a technology platform for two exceptional performance models. It forms the basis for the new Mercedes-AMG GT3 and the future Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series – the current GT family is being expanded by two models.
The road-legal variant of the concept car serves as a homologation model for the GT3 successor. The name “TRACK SPORT” was chosen deliberately – as a bridge between the uncompromising track performance of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 and the extreme yet road-legal performance that has always characterised the Black Series models.
Since October 2025, the prototype – camouflaged with yellow-green and red accents – has been undergoing extensive dynamic testing on test tracks and racetracks. In addition to the in-house development track in Immendingen.
Also the colours are now clearly defined: red will in future represent the Mercedes-AMG GT3 as a central element of the Mercedes-AMG Motorsport colour scheme, whilst yellow-green will represent the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series.
New Mercedes-AMG GT3: The next generation in Customer Racing
The Mercedes-AMG GT3 marks the logical evolution of Mercedes-AMG’s successful Customer Racing Programme.
The foundations for the brand’s Customer Racing commitment were laid in 2010. The first full racing season followed in 2011 with the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3. This success story has been consistently continued with the Mercedes-AMG GT3 from 2016 and the Evo version from 2020.
The decision to develop a successor to the GT3 led to the establishment of Affalterbach Racing GmbH – a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mercedes-AMG – which, together with Mercedes-AMG Motorsport, is responsible for the development and construction of the new vehicle.
The new GT3 is currently in an intensive development phase. The aim is to continue the successful Customer Racing legacy whilst setting new standards in performance, safety and competitiveness.
AMG Black Series: Racing DNA for the road
Power, endurance and boundless performance – that describes the pinnacle of the Mercedes-AMG range. Since 2006, selected models have borne the coveted ‘Black Series’ designation.
As is well known, AMG’s roots lie in motor racing. In 1967, it was the visionary idea of founders Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher to develop cars based on Mercedes vehicles that could meet the performance demands of professional motor racing. The focus was on transferring racing DNA to the road.
This unique fusion of racing and road-legal vehicles brings the CONCEPT AMG GT TRACK SPORT into the present day. The history of the Black Series stands for innovation, uncompromising performance and the constant pursuit of the limit. The CONCEPT AMG GT TRACK SPORT was another milestone on this journey, which now culminates in the standalone presentation of the new AMG GT3 and the future AMG GT Black Series – two vehicles that continue the legend and define the future of Mercedes-AMG performance.
