Jeremy and his top gear is the pioneer of a car review with this format of filming and editing. every car review we watch on UA-cam today is following the path they have lays back in the day.
I have fun watching this with my dad ‘cause I used to work for Mercedes and I can actually say, “I’ve driven one of those.” And everything Jeremy said is accurate about this car. The childish noise, and the fact that the brakes make your face come off.

This guy has made reviewing a car a "Artform" I literary burst out laughing several times during this review. Say what you want about Clarckson but his a genius at his job.
I’ve had this car for 18 months now .. and let me tell you ,I won’t be selling it any time soon it’s pure driving and always puts a smile on your face every time you step into it ..I love it ✌️👌🏼
Hahaha, car stylists are flamboyant and usually drunk, car engineers tend to be very sensible, you can tell that just by looking at their trousers. That's just spot on greatness
Oh God it has been a quite while... Watching Jeremy Clarkson reviewing a car is on another level... I cannot watch any guy reviewing a car while driving until I think of Jeremy Clarkson
Yeah I don't understand the world's sudden obsession with going super fast on a super dangerous track and that being the standard for newer cars. It's no wonder that cars are losing personality these days
Lol gotta love Jeremy, he is ageing very badly indeed which makes him more appealing than ever. Honest, British talent at it’s best and worst simultaneously. Love it!
I think the 577 hp is because the racing GT series (which this car derives from) have this power limit set by the rules. Not that they can't fit in a 600+ hp engine. Every engine paired with transmission is different. 500 hp in one car isn't exactly the same as 500 hp in a total different type of car. And besides, power isn't everything. The car should be perfectly balanced the way it is.
Bingo…a renntech tune on this beast will get u 760hp…plus the manufacturer HP claims on these things is very conservative in reality the stock engine probably makes 80-100 more hp
The AMG GTR is the pinnacle of Mercedes design perfection and in my opinion the classiest car in the world followed by the Aston Martin DB9. Praying its still in stock at the dealerships.
@@edwardcornel2486 i like the normal gt especially gtr pro it looks so cool and aggresive but the black series’s front end is seriously disgusting. The grill is just from anotger world its so big
Jeremy always speaks to your inner car enthusiast's ponderings whilst your pondering or whilst your listening to Thirstin Howls hook saying he snatched my chain and pawned the ring, no just me 🤣🤣🤣
The GT Black Series exists but for that much money you could choose from a handful of Lamborghinis or Ferraris. Its already been discontinued and there's only 1,700 made
Remember when Jamie said Japanese cars have too many bits of pieces on them, but just look at the European high-performance cars today, they are all like like Japanese cars from the 90s
3000gt had it first. In 1991-93. Front air dam, four wheel drive, four wheel steering, electronic controlled suspension, speed controlled rear wing. Jeremy being the dinosaur he is, was there and reviewed it.
AMG GT Black series has only the 2nd fastest time on Nurnburgring production cars. Porsche 911 GT Manthey holds the record. Just slightly, but still. But when this video was recorded Black Series was probably holding the #1 place. It's still #2 which is impressive.
It ended a few years ago, they are posting very old clips 2018ish, they started doing 1 episode a year and now in February the last ever episode released. Jeremy Clarkson farm is a spin off that is confirmed to be renewed for a few more seasons at least
I drove one these in Las Vegas at Speed Vegas. What a blast! I truly admire and covet the AMG GT and SLS cars! But with these German over-engineered cars it's not whether you can afford to buy them, it's more as case of whether you can afford the upkeep on them.
I used to not really have an opinion on it, but the performance and numbers don't lie. The black series edition is right behind the GT2 RS in terms of lap times on everyone's favorite track to compare cars, the Nürburgring.
@The Grand Tour, please refrain from the camera theatrics, and let us see the car performing. The way you shoot your scenes would make my 2003 Nissan Sentra look like a super-car.

As much as I love the adventures of the Grand Tour, I do miss the fellas testing/reviewing cars!
Clarkson is a global treasure, always entertaining with his quips and astute observations
The amazing thing is ,he knew that there will be a fast version , it just shows that this guy knows even what car companies are up to
It does cost a LOT more than the GTR though
Good luck getting your hands on a Black Series even if you do have a boatload of money. It costs more than a handful of Lamborghinis

As I enjoy my Own AMG Merc, everything Mr. Jeremy Clarkson is expressing is indubitably true.
💯
he was right, Merc did come out with a faster version of the gtr called the GT black series.
Yep, and an impressive $300k+ price tag and limited production
Yeah but it is 2,5 times the price. The gtr pro had same engine when it was released so he was wrong here I’d say.
