Neither the NHTSA nor the IIHS has had the opportunity to review the AMG GT Black Series, and it's unlikely they ever will. Considering the standard safety kit, it should hold up well in an accident.
NHTSA safety ratings are not available at this time.
Mercedes has a tendency of asking you to fork out extra for safety features, but in this instance, there are only two optional features. Both blind-spot assist and lane-keep assist are optional extras worth going for and are bundled into the $875 Lane Tracking Package. Standard safety fare includes eight airbags with knee bags for both occupants. The GT also comes with attention assist, LED headlights, front and rearview cameras, parking sensors, Pre-Safe, ABS, and traction and stability controls. And don't forget about the carbon fiber-enforced chassis and massive brakes.

The AMG GT Black Series is essentially an all-new product with a bespoke suspension and engine. Normally, we'd look at previous model years for reference, but it would be unfair to this car since it's so different from other AMG GTs. At the time of this writing, there have been no recalls for the Black Series.
Mercedes-AMG backs the car with a four-year/50,000-mile all-inclusive warranty.
