SLS AMG Black Series

The last high-revving AMG V8

The Black Series removes 70 kg from the SLS, raises the M159 V8 limit to 8'000 rpm and brings GT3-derived chassis work to the road. It is the last AMG built around the naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8.

Overview

A road derivative of the customer-racing programme

The SLS was AMG's first clean-sheet road car. Its GT3 derivative arrived first; the Black Series then worked backwards from that racing car, retaining road registration while changing the engine, spring rates, differential, tracks, aerodynamics and material mix.

Mercedes-AMG presented the Black Series in November 2012 and began sales in June 2013. The car was coupé-only. Its production body was assembled at Sindelfingen; each M159 engine came from Affalterbach under AMG's one-person assembly system.

Mercedes-Benz did not state a global production total in the launch release. RM Sotheby's now repeatedly reports 350 built and documents 132 US-delivery cars; this dossier therefore displays ~350 rather than presenting the figure as a factory-certified count.

Public prices moved from $434'000 in 2018 and $407'000 in 2020 to $940'000 for a 616-mile car in 2023. Results of $775'000, $775'000 and $676'000 through 2024 and 2025 show a market that still separates exceptional mileage from merely low mileage.
