Oh yes, the SLS AMG Black Series is coming!

Last month it emerged that Mercedes-Benz was keen to make a Black Series version of its SLS AMG ‘Gullwing’. And here’s the spy shot to prove it. The shot was taken close to the Benz development facility near the Nürburgring.

Expect the SLS Black to hang on to its naturally aspirated 6.2 litre V8. Of course, there’ll be a healthy power increase; standard power is 562hp and best estimates suggest you pick a number between 600–650hp when the SLS goes Black.

There’ll be meaningful cosmetic enhancements, too. By that we mean its widened body kit will be made of carbon fibre which will help reduce the car’s overall weight. Weight reduction will also be aided by racing style seats, common to other Black Series models.
