Mercedes-AMG
- The Mercedes-AMG GT Track Sport is a new version of the German coupe the brand just teased for the first time.
- According to Mercedes, it will be powered by a V-8 and is being developed to set new record drives, presumably with the Nürburgring at the top of that list.
- Officially, the GT Track Sport is labeled a concept, but production is likely, as the brand says it offers a “glimpse into the future of the AMG GT family.”
To give you an idea of where the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe falls on the sliding scale between surgical and brutish in its demeanor, take a look at our most recent review, where we compared the 2025 GT63 S E Performance to a hippopotamus. Thankfully, despite the GT Coupe’s brash nature, Mercedes-AMG hasn’t given up on it and instead developed a new track-focused model aptly named the Mercedes-AMG GT Track Sport. Mercedes-AMGAccording to Mercedes, the new GT Track Sport is being developed “to set record new times,” which we can only assume means the automaker is planning a Nürburgring attempt in the near future. No performance details are given, but with Mercedes seemingly targeting competitors like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, upgrades are sure to be plentiful. Given the on-track performance focus of the new concept, it’s likely the GT Coupe ditches the 2+2 layout in favor of a strictly two-seat design. And while the entire car is shrouded behind a camouflaged curtain, the large front splitter and aggressive swan-neck rear wing stick out as performance upgrades. Mercedes-AMGThere’s no word on output yet, but we do know the GT Track Sport sticks to a V-8 mill under the hood. Between the GT55 and the GT63 trims, the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 setup in the current AMG GT lineup produces between 469 and 603 horsepower. Add in the hybrid batteries of the GT63 S E Performance, and the combined output surges to 805.

The model is officially labeled as a concept, but given that Mercedes says the teaser offers a “glimpse into the future of the AMG GT family,” we fully expect it to enter production. Here’s hoping that, despite the car’s name, the Mercedes-AMG team kept its cool long enough to fill out the requisite paperwork to make the GT Track Sport road legal. More on the AMG GT63
