I hear that a “Clubsport” version of the GTR will hit the market later this year well in advance of the Black Series. Apparently this car is going to more track focussed with better brakes, less weight and...brake cooling...and possible the E63 S engine. I have my name down at my dealer.

This version isn’t coming to the USA according to the scuttlebutt on MBWorld forum, but even so I think it’s slightly more aggressive aero and minimal weight reduction. No increase in power. TBH it’s underrated at 577hp anyway. Has to be pushing out over 600hp at the flywheel.

Spoke to my dealer yesterday, I am temporarily in their favor by just having ordered a new 2019 G63. They said the AMG rep said that there IS a clubsport version coming in 2019, but it will not be called "clubsport". Also, Black is definitely on for 2020, and I am on the informal list for one even though the real list won't be populated until mid 2019.

Damn Phil, just followed one around PBIR and it was faster then the RS!!
I've told Renntech if they fix the brakes and I can empty a tank without problems, I will take it home.
I have two dealers on notice I want the Black Series.

The GTR was pretty well (over) driven, but I did my own overdriving with SC kicking in plenty. I was LMAO, went to talk to the GTR driver and he said the brakes were getting a bit long.
PBIR is a brake killer, even on the RS but with ST rotors it was perfect. Renntech is playing with those rotors as well, add big *** calipers and some proper cooling and the AMG GTR Black series will be a blast.
I had some hopes of running a 1.22 but 1.245 in traffic is all I got. Still, even TBL was 1.23, it was just too hot and greasy. I've gone faster on Michelins ….
The AMG GTR (Black series) with some aftermarket Calipers and ST rotors will be a force to be reckoned with....

Wow that GTR absolutely lost you in the straights. Insane power.
