Mercedes-AMG GT Track Sport Hints at the Brand’s Most Extreme Supercar Yet
Mercedes-Benz has released official images of its latest concept, the AMG GT Track Sport. Still officially a prototype, the car is already being tested on real circuits, and Mercedes says it paves the way for the next generation of street-legal supercars.
The camouflaged prototype leaves little to the imagination. Its elongated bonnet with a gaping air intake, massive front splitter and towering rear wing make it clear that this car was built for the track, not the boulevard. Every surface seems dictated by aerodynamics that do more than look dramatic — they push the car hard into the tarmac.
AMG engineers describe the project as an exploration of pure driving dynamics, combining lightweight construction with engineering pushed to the limits of physics. No technical figures have been shared yet, but under the bonnet lies a V8 engine — likely the last of its kind before Mercedes-AMG’s full transition to electrification.
Street legal, track focused
Although the Track Sport is being developed primarily for racing circuits, Mercedes plans to homologate its production version for the road. That would place it in the same league as the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Ferrari 296 GTB, where extreme performance meets just enough civility for public roads.
The brand hints that the Track Sport could serve as a spiritual successor to the AMG Black Series lineage, famed for its uncompromising character and brutal power delivery. The most potent AMG to date, the hybrid GT 63 S E Performance, produces 816 hp and 1420 Nm, but it remains to be seen whether the new model will adopt hybrid assistance or stick with a purist V8 setup.
A farewell to pure combustion power
The Track Sport reads like a declaration from Mercedes-AMG — a celebration of mechanical intensity before the quiet inevitability of an electric future. While many rivals are shoehorning hybrid systems into their supercars, AMG seems determined to prove that old-school muscle can still deliver euphoria when paired with intelligence, lightness and precision.
If the rumours hold true, this could become the most extreme evolution of the AMG GT yet — a car destined to join the brand’s pantheon of legends alongside the SLS Black Series and CLK DTM AMG.
