A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any F1 fan.
Many world-renowned drivers have come and gone throughout the history of Formula 1 racing, but none have left a monumental impact on the sport, like Niki Lauda and his famous red hat. Along with a legendary career behind the wheel, Lauda spent most of his life as a non-executive chairman of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport, where he served more so as a mentor to team drivers like Sir Lewis Hamilton. Since his unfortunate passing in May of 2019, Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 has paid homage to Nicki Lauda with a single red star that will forever live on the livery of every race car. The tradition continued with the production of the Mercedes-AMG GT R Black Series Project One, where an alleged handful of the 40 examples made for future Project One owners featured the iconic red star. We at duPont REGISTRY proudly showcase this ultra-rare 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Black Series Project One with the desirable Niki Lauda red star.
Mirroring the livery of both Lewis Hamilton’s F1 W10 EQ Power+ and the $2.72 million Project One hypercar, the exclusive AMG GT Black Series edition shows off the team’s famous Cirrus Silver Metallic and Obsidian Black Metallic gradient star pattern. The rare single red star for Niki Lauda is displayed above the rear wheel on the driver and passenger side quarter panels, adding a touch of contrast while honoring a true racing legend. Tons of exposed carbon fiber aero connect the AMG GT Black Series to its racing roots, using lightweight upgrades to better control both cooling and downforce. A set of Black and Petronas Green multi-spoke sport wheels provide surface traction for long straights, while Michelin Cup 2 R tires guarantee the grip for high-speed corners.
Inside, the AMG GT Black Series Project One’s cabin perfectly blends Mercedes-Benz luxury with AMG’s performance-focused styling, embodying the perfect weekend track star with the functionality of a daily driver. The subtly stealthy interior continues with a pair of black leather bucket seats that include soft Alcantara inserts and Mercedes Petronas Green highlights. Gloss black veneer, carbon cover, and Alcantara cover all trim surfaces, with a special “Exclusive For AMG ONE Team” signifying its status as an ultra-limited production car.
Under the hood, The Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series boasts a massive 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers an impressive 720 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Mercedes-AMG’s powerhouse is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, providing rapid gear shifts for street and track driving. The car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds and has a top speed of 202 mph. Honoring Niki Lauda with a supercar that screams exclusivity and performance, this is the ultimate Mercedes-AMG to have in your collection.
