Your ULTIMATE Track Day Car | 2022 Mercedes-AMG Track Series

In this weeks video, we have Gary Klutt review this 2022 Mercedes-AMG GT Track series! A full blown race car that's ready to eat up any track. Gary talks in depth about the car itself and compares it to its street legal counterpart, the AMG GT Black Series.

For the 55th anniversary of AMG, Mercedes-AMG unveiled its most powerful customer car yet: the Mercedes-AMG GT Track Series. With a limited run of only 55 units worldwide, this car was only offered to Mercedes's most exclusive and high-profile VIP clients. They remain one of the lowest production, most collectible, modern AMG’s ever produced certainly making it a true collectors car.

Not to be confused with the former Black Series model, the Mercedes-AMG GT Track Series is based on last year’s road-going Black Series. With the knowledge from the GT3 and GT4 program, the team at AMG pushed the already crazy machine to its most extreme form. Under the hood still sits AMG’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8, retaining the flat-plane crankshaft of the road-going model. Thanks to the addition of some custom motorsports injectors and a new tune, the V-8 now cranks out 734 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. Those figures represent gains of 14 hp and 37 lb-ft, respectively.

That power is now fed to the rear wheels via a sequential Hewland HLS 6-speed racing transaxle. An adjustable racing differential is in place to help keep things orderly around the track. Mercedes-AMG has also fitted a set of four-way adjustable Bilstein dampers, complete with individually adjustable high and low-speed settings for rebound and compression. Putting that suspension to the ground is a set of 18-inch wheels, chosen due to the availability of competition tires in that size. Behind those wheels sits a set of motorsports-grade steel brakes, which feature adjustable brake balance like a proper racing car. Speaking of adjustability, the Track Series also comes equipped with 12-mode racing traction control and ABS setup.

The Mercedes-AMG GT Track Series takes an already ludicrously capable car and turns the knob up to 15. For that reason alone this car will certainly be remembered as a high point of this era for AMG, making it the ultimate collector's piece.
