Mercedes-AMG has confirmed that future Black Series models are officially in development. Outgoing CEO Michael Schiebe stated that the ultra-high-performance lineup will continue because Black Series is more than a sub-brand; it is “an obligation.”
The confirmation reassures enthusiasts who feared the legendary badge might quietly disappear.
Mercedes-AMG: Black Series Legacy & Philosophy
Schiebe emphasized that any new Black Series must be radical and convincingly superior in performance. These limited-production models are designed to be the most track-focused and extreme versions in AMG’s portfolio.
The last example was the 2021 AMG GT Black Series, which set benchmarks for lap times and aerodynamic performance.
Possible AMG GT Successor
Speculation suggests the next Black Series could be based on the second-generation AMG GT platform. A previously teased Concept AMG GT Track Sport may preview what’s coming.
AMG leadership indicated that the successor must raise performance standards significantly, continuing the aggressive legacy established by prior models.
