The Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series “Project One” edition was created specifically for the 275 customers who had ordered Mercedes’ plug-in hybrid hypercar, originally revealed as a concept in 2017. The car took design cues from the 2019 W10 Formula 1 car, including a two-tone color scheme with teal accents referencing Petronas, Mercedes’ F1 sponsor.
The Project One featured a hybrid petrol-electric powertrain inspired by Formula 1 technology, but production delays meant it didn’t start rolling out until August 2022, by which time it was renamed the Mercedes-AMG ONE.
Despite its $2.72 million price tag, demand far exceeded the planned 275-unit run, but Mercedes chose to cap production to preserve exclusivity. As a gesture for the buyers’ patience, Mercedes offered them an exclusive Black Series Project One variant, available only to those who had pre-ordered the hypercar.
One of just 275 produced, and among only 25 delivered to North America, this particular Mercedes-AMG Black Series Project One Edition, listed by Bring A Trailer, is a Canadian-market vehicle with just 1,200 miles on the clock. It features a Cirrus Silver and Obsidian Black exterior with star patterns and Petronas Turquoise accents, paired with black Dinamica and Exclusive Nappa leather inside.
This Black Series model stands out with its reworked front end, featuring larger intercooler openings compared to the standard AMG GT, an adjustable carbon-fiber front splitter, a two-stage rear wing with an electronically controlled center flap, and carbon-fiber elements on the hood, roof, rear liftgate, and side skirts.
The car is powered by a 720-horsepower, twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential. Other features include carbon-ceramic brakes, a Burmester surround-sound system, AMG Black Series forged wheels (19-inch front, 20-inch rear), and heated AMG performance seats.
