The Details
Mercedes-Benz’s SLS AMG represented a defining moment for AMG—its first fully independent production model and a deliberate homage to the legendary 300 SL Gullwing. While the standard SLS already stood among the great naturally aspirated supercars of its era, the Black Series elevated the platform into a far more focused machine, developed with direct influence from AMG’s GT3 racing program. Extensive weight reduction, wider track dimensions, revised aerodynamics, and significantly reworked suspension transformed the grand touring SLS into a genuine track-oriented flagship.
Power comes from AMG’s hand-built M159 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8, uprated to 622 horsepower through revised camshafts, increased redline, and extensive internal modifications. A dual-clutch seven-speed transaxle sends power to the rear wheels through a locking differential, while coilover suspension, adjustable dampers, and carbon-ceramic brakes provide the control necessary to match its formidable output. The result is a car defined by immediacy and mechanical character—sharp throttle response, linear power delivery, and a distinctly analog driving experience increasingly absent from modern supercars.
This 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series shows approximately 798 miles from new and is finished in black over black leather and Alcantara. Its dramatic bodywork—featuring widened fenders, vented hood, fixed rear wing, and extensive carbon-fiber aerodynamic elements—visually distinguishes the Black Series from the standard SLS while serving a clear functional purpose at speed. Signature gullwing doors open to a purposeful cockpit trimmed in lightweight materials, performance instrumentation, and race-inspired controls.
As one of the final naturally aspirated halo cars from AMG and produced in limited numbers, the SLS AMG Black Series has quickly become one of the most sought-after modern Mercedes-Benz models. This exceptionally low-mileage example presents an opportunity to acquire a near-new specimen of a car widely regarded as the pinnacle of AMG’s analog supercar era—combining motorsport pedigree, unmistakable design, and lasting collectability.
