Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series vs McLaren 750S

This is a battle between two of the most extreme supercars on the market: the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, a limited edition focused on track records, and the McLaren 750S, the refined evolution of the acclaimed 720S. While the Mercedes bets on the aggressive aerodynamics of a GT3 race car for the streets, the McLaren focuses on extreme lightness and the purity of a mid-rear engine.

Key points (below):

Track focus vs. acceleration: The Black Series has an impressive track record, having been the fastest production car at the Nürburgring in 2020 with a time of 6:43.616. The McLaren 750S, on the other hand, is superior in raw acceleration and overtaking, thanks to its much lighter carbon fiber construction (about 150 kg less).

Aerodynamics and engineering: The Mercedes uses a two-stage rear wing with electronic adjustment and solutions derived directly from the GT3. The McLaren introduces Proactive Chassis Control III, which eliminates physical stabilizer bars in favor of an interconnected hydraulic system for greater comfort and control.

Interior comfort: The AMG GT maintains a more traditional luxury with the MBUX system and Burmester sound. The McLaren is more minimalist and driver-focused, although it has evolved in technology with the inclusion of Apple CarPlay.
