The 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series Is a $350,000 Monster Supercar 

came here to find this comment

Probably didn't mention it because all trunks have supports. They just made it sound like something that matters.

@@shaveee bruh its literally trunk supports… thats not really much of a quirk or feature. Other cars have had similar mechanisms to not crush flimsy parts of the car when traveling at highspeeds under LOADS of down force.

@@eptdy what other car has columns sticking up through the load floor?

@@eptdy I guess you didn't see them either

I thought that's what this was. Man this car looks slow compared to the F1 cars on the track though

does it come with a button that says "bono my tires" and "To whom it may concern...."

@@dividad1 No duh this car is slow compared to fastest car on a track. But its not slow because it held the Nurburgring record for long time till Porsche engineering did something better. The Mercedes in F1 is AMG Gt-r not a GT black series.

@@al_penguino I know the AMG isn't slow, it looks slow against F1 cars in comparison, which is a testament to F1s speed, not the AMG being slow. I didn't say the AMG is slow. However I don't know what is safety car on the F1 grid. I'm sure both the GT-R and the Black Series would look slow in comparison to F1 cars. Most cars look slow in comparison.

Imagine confusing a regular GT-R and a black series. LOL

The value just increased 300%

@@tonnietuesday8760 imagine buying a $400k Mercedes with 10 miles on it which had been blasted and not run in lol

@@shadowdraxx nah really tho

That is a quirk and feature

Give it to me

We all know doug got that fashion sense from daddy Jay.

Only thing missing is the way Jay inserts his unique sound effects when describing something. Other than that, you're right

I never knew that. Thanks for this post.

is it really his dad ? lol

@@meanmachine389 no, but the similarities are very apparent in Doug's McLaren F1 video.

@@DougDeMuro Yikes!

As long as it not Eau de Dong.

That wing is literally a show stopper, looks so cool

Exactly what I thought 😂

@@phoenix1279 lol looks like the spoilers guys put on their WRX’s in the 2000’s.

I think they just maintained the Mercedes logo so that you don't confuse it for a Viper

Yes but it doesn't says that you're driving a BS

I was thinking how did he not know this?

@@user-xw4vg1vy5e I enjoy the videos and Doug's great, but we are talking about the guy who spent a fair bit of time wondering why Ford kept advertising for Motorcraft.

I agree. I mean every rich people who owned the car say it is the best handling car at the time. Its funny how he give points.

"I'm gonna call 'Nürburg' 'Nordshcleife' in an attempt to make myself sound smarter when I talk about cars I will never afford."

Faster then the Tesla he reviewed??

Unfortunately this isnt true. A 911 GT2 RS beat it by nearly 5 seconds earlier in June

A gt2 rs just got a 6:38 on the nurburgring

The key seems fine and perfect

This is one of the reasons I like him so much, he gets the key details right.

I entirely appreciated that too :)

Doug is the type of guy who would do it on purpose and still you would think it was unintentional

(DJ Khaled voice): *Major key*

Yeah, it's weird Doug didn't pick up on that quirk; it's always 'off,' unless you know what color means what.

It's definitely confusing. It might say off due to the engine not being turn on. In a similar fashion that Auto start-stop feature that goes between disabled and Off.

Hi all, I work in the UI-Design Department at Mercedes-AMG. I just wanted to clarify, that those shown ESP Icons could only be legally certified in one state (always off). Therefore a dynamic change of that symbol was prohibited, even if it‘s kind of irritating in terms of usability. That‘s why we added an overall „color logic“ into the experience. Blue for „On/Active“ and Red for „Off/Disabled“ for basically every function.

@@michaeladler5183 Thanks for taking the time to clarify, Michael! It's always insightful to get this type of info from the actual source. I must say it's still a bit confusing to me, though: 1st - there is no Red state for the ESP, apparently (only blue and yellow) and 2nd - You have a negative and positive value simultaneously for the same function: a verbal "OFF" on the symbol + Blue "ON" color logic, so you kind of get into this loop of "My X function is disabled-enabled?" or "Off+Disabled = Enabled?" It's hard to phrase, as you see, I hope I'm getting the idea across.

@@michaeladler5183 Figures it was some compliance nonsense. I should have guessed that from the start. Questionable design and UI decisions always trace back to the government, or the Italians.

I like it better than the Bugatti devo

He always has that "holy shit did I just go that fast" face after accelerating 😂

22:44 yes...as well as just describing them at casual speed he adds more horses with his expressions.

I think the best one was when he did the tesla plaid 😂😂😂😂

@@Kemozabe fuck Tesla ewwww

🤤

Not gonna lie I love a big spoiler.

Yes, because it's not like anyone ever installs their own aftermarket spoilers on their cars.

@@chrisstaub5880- aftermarket stuff is generally cheap garbage. That’s why it lowers the value of your car. I would never compare to a factory option.

Shows you that Doug is indeed Jay's son.

He’s got the credibility, these dealers know they will be seen by millions.

@@RolandKoller90 More so than "credibility" I bet he has a Monster Insurance company that can vouch for him... Cause in these cases and talking about a $400k car, Money taks, credibility walks....

Cause manufacturers understand perfectly that people like this are the best commercial you can invest in.

@@RolandKoller90 Well, unless it's an FCA product, then Doug gets scared and blames the car.

Agreed

That 6.2 Liter naturally aspirated V8 is the real deal.

I too love soundwave more

Redbull/sls gives you wings

not to be a fact checker but wikipedia does say the amg did a 6:43.6 Nov 2020 but a gt2 rs did a 6:38.8 june 2021

@@trystanneikes2843 a Manthey GT2. Not a factory one. AMG Black has the real record

Fastest front engine car?

@@BoopBobBeep no, literally the fastest car period. It's mid engine also. Front mid engine, but still mid engine

He gave a 10 in handling to the BAC Mono, there's no way this car has a better handling that the Mono, so 9 it's pretty appropriate for this car.

You're a pretty clever person

Very good sir

To be pedantic, it reduces lift. While not the same as adding downforce this does increase the effect of the downforce-generating surfaces

Racecar knowledge. A step up from these rookies who only drive on the streets. Lol

@@SmashGhost yea the viper across had em as well. And the big nostrils in the hood are for engine bay cooling rite?

It'll be a reality :)

Or, you know, learn how to drive...

@@bobvance- I highly recommend both.

Clearly, you know your stuff😎🍷🧐

I was looking for that comment! You are absolutely right!

Thank you. Absolutely correct.

Thank you daddy

Correct, its the air exits in the hood that aid engine cooling via ducting. These ducts also add front downforce, the black thin trim pieces that curve around the front of the opening deflect air that would otherwise try to fall into the open air exit. Also, my guess is the front splitter is adjustable fore and aft, not at an angle. The reason for this is I know of no racing series in the world that allows anything but a flat/level front floor/splitter with the exception diffuser sections that feed air into the wheelhouse from under the nose which is then exhausted out via the air vents on top of the fenders. All of the above make front end downforce along with aid in cooling the engine/brakes/etc.

Everyday. I do that everyday a new video comes out.

@@swilsonmc2 Hey man, ready to get some burgers? THISSSS is the 2021 Mustang GT... sigh. God dammit.

Watch him give it to Something Japanese or American tho lolll

I know, right? 600LT is almost 30s slower on the ring. Performante is 10s slower. Both get 10/10 handling... sure this thing clearly deserves a 9.

@@SignzNSymbolz are you taking this reviews serious? This man know as much about car he review as he read in comments

Ariel Atom got a 10/10 because it’s basically a go cart

Well, the AMG GT is according to GT3 pilots more front heavy/understeering. Now for the production car idk but probably quite the same. So handling wise there is still probably better cars out there, it is not all about having the best lap time. The car is >1600 kg. It is like comparing current F1 cars (and the next iteration) to the old ones which were indeed lighter and all that, but current ones still lap faster.

The 918 is really old so it makes sense

The more you know, thanks for sharing man!!

@@yungboicontigo9278 well, these days, sure, but this edit style has been like this since the beginning

Underrated comment

He didn't comment on it, but from what I always gather from these cars is that they actually have too much power, making the car harder (than necessary) to handle. So perhaps in the hands of a master that extra power gets bonus points, but in the hands of Doug it loses it a point. It is the "DOUGscore" after all.

Bruh... You forget doug's whole idealogy. An average man expressing how the car makes him feel.

@@probitradas1742 bruh... bruh

This now officially the 2nd fastest production car around the Nürburgring. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JeDN-EE6aac.html

It’s just his opinion lol

And it has more power than f1 😂

It trips me out that the F1 was from 1993, yet it still looks like a modern supercar!

Douchebags. I saw cars at le mans in 1987 doing over 230mph. You can't compare them with a 2021 street legal 730hp vehicle.

Crazy that a 2021 400k AMG Black Series in 6 minutes 43 seconds destroys a now over 17 million worth 1993 McLaren F1 with a nowadays weak 7 min 11 seconds by 28 seconds per lap on the same Nordschleife racetrack.

I think it’s faster than that, that’s just Mercedes’ time which are always underrated. But also, it’s 0-60, who gives a shit

@@yungboicontigo9278 Literally did not say that

I was thinking the exact same thing haha

Mercedes-Benz paint has alot of orange peel, BMWs paint job is much better.

Car dealerships suck at washing cars. Most use a shitty brush and will fuck up the paint. I never let a dealership wash my car.

🤡

@@jessebooth2371 paint is paint🤡

@diggy dub 24:41, look at how fast he passes the black pickup truck and creates distance, yeah sure, Doug's going only 5-10 MPH over the speed limit. In his videos of high-powered cars, you can simply watch the speed at which the scenery passes by, or do some basic math of how long he's flooring it to know he's driving at excessive speeds. You can defend it by saying there's not really a reasonable alternative when testing these cars on public streets, or by saying that Doug's an experienced driver and probably choosing reasonably safe times to test the acceleration. But you can't make a reasonable argument that it's not obvious Doug's speeding excessively. We all know he is. He drives similarly to other RU-vid reviewers who have front facing cameras, and they blur the speedometer to avoid incriminating themselves.

@diggy dub go watch the Bugatti Divo/pur sport video and then come back here and see if your comment still stands

@diggy dub I do. I live in Temecula. He’s driving on Ynez Road for most of the trip (in the general vicinity of the dealership) which has a 45 mph speed limit. But you are right about police here. Nobody gives a shit about speed limits in Temecula. People regularly go 5-15 above, and on Ynez Road (the stretch north of the dealership before Murrieta Hot Springs) it’s pretty empty and people usually go 55 or maybe 60 on that road.

469hp

@@PBLambo That’s plenty. Thank you for your comment. (:

I was blessed to drive the black series (the One edition) a couple weeks and it is truly mind blowing how the power is delivered. I’ve driven high horse power cars before but the power delivery is so sophisticated.

The purpose is to make rich parasites look cool. Nothing else.
