AMG’s Black Series team took the beautifully acclaimed SLS Coupe with its nostalgic gullwing doors and produced a tauter, faster, more hardcore version. The 6.2 liter engine was uprated to 622bhp and increased in redline to 8000rpm. The Black Series is 150lbs lighter than the standard SLS Coupe due to increased use of carbon fiber in body panels, mechanical components, and spaceframe, while also switching to a titanium exhaust system. The 7-Speed AMG Speedshift sports transmission is installed 10mm lower to achieve a lower center of gravity for the vehicle and the "Sport plus" and "Manual" modes feature faster shifting speeds. Other features include an electronic AMG rear-axle differential lock with a shorter rear-axle ratio, new AMG Ride Control and performance suspension.
Only 132 of the Black Series were shipped to the USA, finished in nine colors, of which one of the rarer colors was the new AMG shade, Solarbeam Yellow. Only 30 were produced and imported to the USA in this optional new color. This SLS Black Series has all original books and window sticker and is optioned with AMG Black Series forged wheels as well as the Bang & Olufsen sound system.
As the spiritual successor to the iconic 300 SL Gullwing, the SLS AMG Black Series is without a doubt the most desirable derivative of the platform and one with direct roots to competition. Recently traded to Autosport Designs, Inc. from a vast collection of well-maintained supercars, this SLS is like-new and one of Mercedes-Benz and AMG’s most exciting cars of the 21st century.
