The AMG GT Black Series is available in 2 colour options — Silver and Reddish-Orange. The supercar rides on 19-inch front and 20-inch rear 10-spoke alloy wheels. The delivered car had a Nappa Leather interior, finished in black with orange contrast stitching and matte black carbon fibre. The car also gets a carbon fibre front diffuser, bonnet, roof and front wings.

Over the standard AMG GT, the Black Series gets some performance-focused upgrades to make it more dynamic. It has enhanced bodywork for better aerodynamics. The car gets a flat crankshaft V8 engine for better torque delivery at lower RPMs. The car also gets the Race Start function, which is the launch mode, and a 9-level variable traction control system.

The AMG GT Black Series gets AMG coil-over suspension with adaptive adjustable damping. The car also gets manually adjustable camber and anti-roll bars at the front and rear axles. The car also gets very purposeful ceramic brakes with black-coloured brake callipers.
