WARRANTY VOIDED!? Even AMG Never Tested THIS

Say no to garage queens! Let's try something new with my AMG GT Black Series that's not been done before... fitting studded tyres to slide around on AMG's frozen lake in Arjeplog, Sweden. The Shmeemobile's warranty might well be called into question, but that's not stopping the fun!

I'm at the AMG Experience in Arjeplog, where numerous different customer programmes are on offer to try out the latest models from the line-up, and with special permission, we can bring the Shmeemobile out onto the ice. Preparing in advance, we have a set of wheels ready and armed with studded tyres; featuring 480 3mm spikes to give a totally different control on the frozen lake.

However, before we get onto trying the studs, we need to figure out what it's like with my high performance winter tyres, the OEM road legal fitment for driving in winter conditions while still being rated to 270km/h (170mph) and permitted to drive on the road. This is where amongst the different custom made circuits, we are heading to Immendingen - normally found in the South of Germany, and the real location where I "broke in" to AMG's facility and revealed the GT Black Series to the world a few years ago.

We than have the unique experience of the G Wagon support vehicle, loaded with tools, to swap over to a set of Dackproffsen winter driving experience tyres; a narrower fitment than standard using a set of AMG GT S wheels, but compatible with the GT Black Series for these purposes to see how they perform. Up front are some 245 wide 19s, and 285 at the back; versus the stock 285 and 335, or 275 and 325 as I normally run.

There is no question that driving on ice is unlike anything else, and one of the greatest things you can experience in a car. The ability to feel the dynamics and explore your ability without speeds going out of hand, enables a true learning of a car's behaviour, and to do this with my own car has been phenomenal.

A huge thank you to the entire team at AMG that made this possible, what a great opportunity and learning experience. You can find out more about the AMG Experience on Ice here, and I'd recommend checking it out for future seasons:
