Behind the wheels was factory GT3 racing driver, Maro Engel, who drove the 2021 AMG GT Black Series around the 12.9-mile North Loop.

Engel said :

“That was a really impressive ride,”

“With speeds of up to almost 168 mph in the Kesselchen section of the track and well over 186 mph on the long Dottinger Hohe straight, the AMG GT Black Series is significantly faster than my GT3 race car.”

“To finally drive around the Nordschleife in 6:48.047 minutes (for the 12.944 mi total track) with a production road car in these track conditions is really awesome.”

Lamborghini Aventador SVJ’s record stood for two years. Let’s wait and see how long it will take another supercar to break Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series’ production car record at the Nurburgring Nordschleife track.
