The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series was produced in a limited run of 350 cars worldwide.
Introduced in 2013, the Black Series was the most aggressively tuned road-going version of the SLS AMG. AMG increased the 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8's output to 622 horsepower, added extensive carbon-fiber components, widened the body, revised the suspension and fitted performance-focused tires.
Its gullwing doors linked it visually to the original Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, but the Black Series was engineered with modern track performance in mind. Production was limited to the coupé; Mercedes-Benz did not produce a Black Series roadster.
The figure is sometimes confused with the 350-unit SLS AMG GT Final Edition, another limited SLS variant. Both numbers are 350, but they refer to different models. The Black Series was built from 2013 into 2014, while the Final Edition marked the end of the wider SLS program.
