This 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is finished in Obsidian Black over black leatherette and Alcantara upholstery, and power comes from a 6.2-liter V8 mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle and a limited-slip differential.
Features include carbon-ceramic brakes, a titanium exhaust system, a rear-view camera, COMAND infotainment with AMG Track Pace, and automatic climate control.
The SLS AMG Black Series was unveiled at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show and was the fifth Black Series model developed by AMG.
The car is 154 pounds lighter than the standard SLS AMG, and features include a wide-body kit, revised aerodynamics, a titanium exhaust system, and a carbon-fiber hood as well as an increase of carbon-fiber components in the drivetrain and spaceframe.
This example is finished in Obsidian Black (197U) and features gullwing doors, bi-xenon headlights, carbon-fiber mirror caps, vented fenders, a carbon-fiber rear wing, a rear-view camera, and quad exhaust outlets.
The 10-spoke AMG wheels measure 19″ in diameter up front and 20″ at the rear and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
The SLS AMG Black Series features an AMG Ride Control suspension with electronically controlled two-stage damping, speed-sensitive steering, and a wider track compared to the standard SLS AMG.
Stopping power is provided by copper-painted calipers over cross-drilled carbon-ceramic rotors at all four corners.
The cockpit features heated bolstered seats trimmed in black leatherette and Alcantara with red contrast stitching that extends to the dashboard, door panels, and center console.
Black Alcantara covers the headliner and rear shelf, and features include automatic climate control, COMAND infotainment, AMG Track Pace, blind spot assist, satellite radio, automatically dimming mirrors, and red seat belts.
The Alcantara-wrapped multi-function steering wheel fronts aluminum shift paddles as well as a 240-mph speedometer and a tachometer with inset gauges for fuel level and oil temperature.
The digital odometer shows 43k miles.
