Mercedes is gearing up to introduce the new AMG GT Black Series. It will take on the mighty Porsche 911 GT3 RS, which is also due for an update later this year. Rumours suggest that the 992.2 facelift could be revealed in August 2026.

The upcoming 911 GT3 RS facelift has been spotted testing quite a few times. Spy images have revealed a brand-new diffuser with dual exhaust and a pair of additional tailpipes on either side. It will also feature a new active rear spoiler with three elements and a DRS function.

Up front, the air intakes appear to be slightly larger. The ducts on the bonnet have also been reworked. In addition to the functional changes, the new GT3 RS will also get redesigned headlamps with integrated LED DRLs.

However, a lot has changed under the skin. The new GT3 RS will be powered by a 3.6-liter flat-6 engine, but for the first time, it will feature two turbochargers. According to the latest rumours, the new twin-turbo unit delivers around 650 hp @ 9,000 rpm. It is also likely to get a ‘Boost’ mode.

Mercedes-Benz has finally revealed its newest flagship limousine – the Maybach S-Class. Based on the facelift version of the sedan that debuted earlier in the year, the new luxury limo will be available with either a V8 or V12 engine, in addition to a plug-in hybrid, depending on the market.

The overall design of the new Maybach S-Class is similar to the standard S-Class, except for Maybach-specific changes such as the bespoke grille, which now features an illuminated frame and backlit ‘Maybach’ lettering. It also comes with an illuminated hood ornament, bespoke wheel designs in 20- or 21-inch sizes, and two-tone exterior colour schemes.

The interior is extremely well-appointed with soft leather and premium trim. The overall layout of the dashboard is similar to the standard S-Class and features a large central touchscreen and an additional screen on the passenger side.

The new Maybach S-Class is available in two variants: S 580 and S 680. The S 580 gets a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine producing 530 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque.

The S 680 comes with either a 604 hp V8 or a 621 hp V12 engine. There’s also a plug-in hybrid version (S 580e) that has 577 hp on tap.
