Mercedes-AMG just pulled the covers off something pretty wild, well, sort of., Concept AMG-GT Track Sport, seen wearing camouflage, but still it looks clear that AMG is cooking up their most hardcore GT yet, with a thunderousV8, and lap times that’ll make Porsche nervous.
- Built entirely at AMG’s Affalterbach facility
- V8 engine confirmed (no hybrid stuff here)
- Currently being tested at various racetracks
What’s Actually Going On Here
So here’s the deal with this concept: AMG isn’t messing around. They’re calling it an “uncompromising sports car concept” designed purely to set record lap times. Not for comfort, not for daily driving, just pure, relentless speed around a circuit.
The GT family has been growing since the second-gen car launched in 2023, but this looks like AMG saying “we’re not done yet” in the loudest way possible & the name, Track Sport, pretty much gives it away.
Still Betting on V8 Power
Here’s what caught our attention: while everyone else is going hybrid or electric, AMG has gone old-fashioned V8 fury for this concept. That takes guts in 2025, but for a track-focused machine. No lag, no complexity, just immediate throttle response and that AMG V8 soundtrack that might make your neighbors file noise complaints.
We don’t know the exact specs yet, but given AMG’s current lineup, expect something brutal based on their twin-turbo 4.0-liter unit. Probably with enough extra aggression to make the GT 63 S feel tame.
Built Where Racing Lives
The whole project is happening at Affalterbach, AMG’s spiritual home where they’ve been building race cars since the 1960s.
The teaser images show the camouflaged prototype getting final tweaks before it hits test tracks for validation. This isn’t just a fantasy, a concept, they’re actually building this thing, which suggests production intentions despite the “concept” label.
Aerodynamics Gone Wild
Even through the camo wrap, we can tell this thing has serious aerodynamic work. AMG describes it as “bewinged,” which probably means a rear wing that would make a GT3 car jealous. The stance looks lower and more aggressive than any current GT model.
The Competition Won’t Be Happy
If this reaches production, it’ll go head-to-head with the likes of Porsche 911 GT3 RS, McLaren 765LT, and Ferrari’s track-focused offerings. These are cars that cost serious money because they deliver serious performance, and AMG seems confident they can build something faster than all of them.
Will We Actually See It?
Mercedes calls this a “concept,” but the development work happening in Affalterbach suggests they’re serious about production.
Pricing
If it does reach showrooms, expect astronomical pricing, ultra-limited production numbers, and features that make it essentially a race car with license plates.
