This.Is.HAPPENING!
Mat’s got his hands on the most powerful road car Mercedes has EVER produced - the AMG GT Black Series! We know it looks gorgeous, but trust us, this isn’t just style over substance.
Under the bonnet you’ll find a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 730hp and 800Nm of torque! All that power will race you to 60mph in just 3.2 seconds, but would you expect anything less from Mercedes’ most powerful car?
But of course, all that power doesn’t cheap… If you want to try it out you’ll need to part with an eye-watering £335,000!! So is it worth it? Mat’s here to find out, so don’t go ANYWHERE!

Is this the best AMG EVER?! Or would you rather have THREE AMG E63S for the same price?
Would rather have a gt2rs
carwow Yes It Is the Best one so far ! I’m in love with it 😍😍
I would take it, if it didn't cost 335,000 pounds
PORSCHE TAYCAN!!!!!!!!

Mercedes is really spoiling Mat, he's getting exclusive access to all of these super-rare cars. Nice work on their behalf
Good marketing as well. Get as much attention and it will be revered more
I can't even use words to explain how beautiful this car is ❤️
Mercedes: makes a new amg gt

But it looks ugly af, you need to have less taste than a hip hop artist to buy this atrocity.

So funny how Matt at the end suggests whether we should buy it and I think majority of us only dream of having that much money to spend on a car 😂
2:07 I was waiting for the phone to fall xD

why does this sound so accurate
I started doing the doug the type of guy jokes to carwow and now everyone is doing it LOL! 🤣😂
@@car-enthusiast3141 happy now? 😁
wtf the doug squad is leaking.
The Cup 2 tires are specifically designed for every car it seem
Michelin does embed engineers are the companies that help with the tire compound. The compound from the factory is not the same as you can buy at a store.
The Cup 2 R tires on a Pista won't work the same way on this, and neither could work on Chiron Pur Sport.
There are many car specific versions of most ultra performance tyres.
Mason Hampers as they are in the BS
No there is not car specific cup 2 tires. Obviously if you think that you are gullible and have never bought any.
This show always produces my visualization cars! Bless you guys for that🙏🏿
Nice! I also like the editing that cuts away just before you miss the apex by a country mile ;-)
The lack of fake vents is really so amazing.
It’s so cool to see. Functional vents.
Are you really that shocked that the most track focused Mercedes road car ever has functional vents? Other than the Honda Civic type R and a few others, 90% of high-end sports cars / supercars have functional events
Daveyboy 330 in today’s world where most stuff is just aesthetic. Not functional. Even some very high performance cars have fakes.
Yes I’m pleasantly surprised
@@varunsambi2004 yes there are some hi end sports cars and supercars that place fake vents in certain spots just for looks. I'm just saying your comment probably would have fit better if we were not talking about the most track focused road legal Benz ever that's competing with the 765lt and GT2 RS. If we were talking about a Lexus LC 500 or an Audi RS6 or an Aston DB9 Etc then I would be pleasantly surprised if every vent and louver was fully functional. Anyway no big deal I was just surprised that you were surprised that not everything would be completely functional on this specific car. All right good day
M8 when you are spending 300k it would be a crime to have fake vents
True. Most cars was fake vents.
Who else still loves SLS.
My favorite Benz
Mine too! I would have one in any color as long as it is white.
And yes, it is by far the best Merc out there!
👋🏻
Absolutely the best Benz ever. I’ll take mine in white also.
I still can't understand why does SLS cost so much?
4:52 he only needs 99.9l/ 100km
The sound is sad
A massive thanks to matt and the team for amazing videos throughout covid

@@jponz85 that would be weird...
@UCQ5ZqlYDqnVqeBBfODw5HtA Carwow has almost 5 million subscribers. Some of their drag races have up to 7 million views far above any other channel. And haris ahmadzi said he's the most entertaining, not the most knowledgeable. If we want to know every tiny little detail about cup holders we go to Doug demuro.
And Matt doesn't even claim to be knowledgeable. Matt's job as a car journalist, is to keep the fans entertained and keep them subscribing. He has done that in spades. He even admits a lot of the time that he doesn't know how this or that works. But his channel has great content, excellent videography, top of the line cars, and very funny banter between him and yanni from Yannimize. The fact that Matt Watson is a journalist for this channel is one of the reasons why it's so successful. And why he is so successful
@UCQ5ZqlYDqnVqeBBfODw5HtA I just saw some of your prior comments and it's pretty obvious you're just a hater no matter what channel you're commenting on. Have fun being miserable
@@Daveyboy_GolfR I hate Matt. Thanks to that bastard, I've put a deposit on a GR Yaris that I didn't even know I needed (before I saw his review of it). And now I've got to wait until December to get the damn thing. THANKS Matt. THANKS Carwow.
Ps I don't hate Matt, I think he's fantastic 😁
I love this thing. But my favorite is still the SLS Black series. And the CL65 Black series was the best looking, and maybe my 2nd favorite.
i prefer the GTR sound i also love how they fitted all their wings on this one
Fact: Mercedes never launched any of their Black Series in ‘Black’ colour.

„It is the most extreme Black Series“ - yet it sounds like a goddamm 2.0 A-class
Due to The new particulate filter regulations
Nah the 2016 A45 I've bought sounds muuuch better stock.
I am sure your Golf I series or whatever you drive in your third world country sounds better.
Sound is compromised due to stringent EU noise and emissions regulations. The cars will be more vocal on other markets like the US and the Middle East.
It's a pointless car anyway.
Watching this in 2160 is AWESOME such a pretty car
4:26 "this diffuser area" Mat sounds like Donald Trump! 😬😂
Remember when the AMG GT sounded good?
The days of the C63 amg
The gtc and gtr still sound good if you have the pre opf versions
C63 black series still the best, timeless machine.
Id like a CLK63 please
My favourite Black Series is the SLS. Brilliant car, such great fun to drive.
SL65 Black Series
@@juliantaffa4089 you have driven it before 😱wow awesome.
@@cyberdemon6517 🤣🤣 funny ,its like you ordering the car from me and now somehow l have to drop it at your front door.
oh, all the Black Series in one place... seems like a paradise... love all of them
From inside this car sounds like a gt race car but from out side it sounds like a vacuum cleaner. The speaker should not play engine sound in a amg ,it should be illegal.
Probs sound chanelling
Well, the new ecological regulations by the EU a couple of years ago have killed natural AMG sound, so there is no way for it to appear UNLESS you do some (illegal?) modifications.
@@StrangerHappened I think it applies on a ferrari as well but a ferrari sounds better than this.
I heard it in real life and it sounds way better than in the vid. Just a bad mic on the camera I think
@@djkieft9175 go look at other youtubers vid it sounds the same
*Matt crashes and dies
God: so, what exactly happened?
That's dark
Lmao, it’s coz he talked about crashing and dying in the intro of the video

ok that was funny

Same track top gear used when the stig raced their old saloon cars with them in the passenger seats.
The black series doesn’t sound as good as the other gt models
yeah it sounds terrible
@@iamwritingrightnow8217 it sounds like a c43 amg
@NABIL KHOSYI RITZANJUE what? If you mean sounds good for flatplane in general then you've never heard of na v8 ferrari. If you mean turbocharged flatplane pista 570s 720s and some others sounds pretty good. Flatplane isn't the excuse i'd say
just wait its going to sound crazy imo because of the flat plane camshaft
@@elmoh9852 You clearly havent heard a C43 AMG then 😂😂
Mats been on top of these extreme new car reviews lately, Bugatti, mclaren, and now the new GT
Those little winglets on the front bumper, I first saw them on the Mines R34 GT-R from 1999.
They're actually called carnards 🤣
Wow and this NEW MERCEDES BLACK SERIES look soo crazy specially in this Orange colour and also LOVES the sounds of it to..😍👍
No one is convinving me that sounds great. It just sounds like a 4 cylinder with some burbles. Im sure you change that exhaust and some restricty bits like every single owner probably will and it sounds scary but oem. lol
it sounds pathetic for a V8 really. I get that it has to do with regulations and stuff but a 911 sounds so much better than this
Yeah performance always comes way before acoustics, but don't tell us it sounds great when it clearly doesn't
@@iamwritingrightnow8217 or the new ferrari V8s with the regulation sounds better.
Sound is compromised due to stringent EU noise and emissions regulations. The cars will be more vocal on other markets.
Small brands like Ferrari have less strict targets than mass manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz. Furthermore the comparison should be between the GT Black Series and the Roma or the F8 Tributo and not with the 488 as the 488 is discontinued and does not comply with the newest of emissions regulations.
It’s that crank, it’s makes it sound like a double 4 cyl (with some diesel like sounds) like some ferrari and lotus engines, because from a firing order it’s exatly that 2 synchronised R4 sharing a crank.
1:54 anxiety levels start rising because of his phone in the back pocket
2:07 warning anxiety level have reached its critical point
The GTR was always a dream car of mine, but now with the black series I think that has to be my new dream car
My 2 favorite sl65 and amg gt
Can’t be the only person that thinks it sounds like a 4 pot
No, there is reinforcement to this idea. A flat plane v8 of this ones design is quite literally two i4’s banked together with one offset 90° from the other. Same way how a cross plane i4 sounds like a v8 with the bass turned off.
Definitely, has a hint of Ferrari 458 once it’s going too. It’s not the sound for me though, I’ll stick to cross plane V8’s. I bet it’s a beast to drive though, shame it doesn’t sound like the SLS though.
Emission regulations have ruined the sounds of new AMG’s :(
I get why you think this, but the sound this makes isnt because of emission regulations but because the car uses a different crank plane. This crank plane is called a flat plane and this is also used in ferrari v8’s. You might’ve noticed that it sounds just like one. The reason why they choose this crank is for smoother power delivery which makes it even faster.
not only the emission but actual SOUND regulations which is stupid as hell
Who needs sound?
@@MauriceBln1 more sound=more hp
@@darren2426 No, that is not true.
This AMG GTR Black Series, is amazing, is insane, I love him!

@@petros2288 why must you be weird abt it?
That SL65 is badass. 😊😈
i barely know anything about cars but this is entertaining
engine sounds like a 4 cylinder engine without engine oil.
The thing about flat-plane v8s is they do sound like slightly beefed 4 cylinders. The exhaust pulse widths are just doubled. A cross-plane’s pulse widths are uneven. The only cross plane i4 I can think of is a motorbike engine (I’ll check to see which one unless someone beats me to it), which sounds like a half sized cross-v8. This engine is essentially two traditional i4s met at the crank, but one i4 bank’s firing is offset 90° from the other.
Update: that cross plane i4 I was thinking of is the Yamaha R1 engine.

What can you say it's been the same story with almost every other manufacturer.
Take the M3/M4 from BMW for example, those grills look horrendous, absolute joke and the ones who are happy when those cars came out are either previous gen M3/M4 owners or companies which specialises in aftermarket modifications!!!

LoL I thought the title was Doug Demuro but when I looked closer it wasn't.
This beast doesn't get enough love here in the comments, everybody just hating on the sound❄️🧂
It’s a great car but you can’t deny that it’s the worst sounding flat plain crank V8. While I can never afford one I think one of the main considerations of buying a special supercar like this is sound and the sound really puts me off it. Saying that tho I’ll never afford one so I can’t really comment 🤣🤣
@@mills3375 yes, the sound is pretty bad but I think many customers will put an aftermarket exhaust. Probably gonna sound meaty.

Great video but the audio is very uneven, some parts are quiet and some are loud. Making me constantly adjusting the volume.
Great review. The best Black Series with the new V8 flat crankshaft powerhouse. Given the low production number it'll definitely maintain value and increase massively in time (in my opinion).

Lewis, the tires are ok, fucking drive.
Lewis is a sus
This is the 5th car that I've heard those tires were "specifically" designed for...
Homologated tyres
And how is that a surprise for you? When the manufacturer is testing the car before launch, they partner up with the tyre maker, in this case Michelin and they tweak the tyres to what suits the car best. Is that so hard to comprehend? An AMG GT Black Series has different needs and style than say a Chiron. Even tho they use the same tyre type Cup 2s, they are different, one's made to handle downforce and cornering the other is made to handle VMax
Incredible car.
Exhaust sounds tame though.
STRAIGHT PIPE!
2:14 yeah I don't think anyone who can afford this will worry about some poor peasant's ankles being shuttered 😂
SpaghettiKillah I think u may just be jealous because I’m pretty sure a rich person wouldn’t break anyone’s ankles without caring.
