Introduced at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG marked a significant chapter in the brand's history, combining classic design elements with cutting-edge performance. Hot on the heels of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, it was designed as the spiritual successor to the iconic 300 SL Gullwing, and it therefore featured the characteristic gullwing doors and a long hood, beneath which sat a handcrafted front-mid-mounted 6.2-liter V-8 engine. Multiple limited-edition models were released over its five-year production run, but none would top the Black Series.

Inspired by the SLS AMG GT3 and crafted for uncompromised performance, The Black Series features a monstrous V-8 modified to produce an incredible 622 horsepower and 468-pound-feet of torque—making it the highest-horsepower naturally aspirated production V-8 in the world at the time. This was coupled with the significant use of carbon fiber throughout, a titanium exhaust system, and lower placement of its DCT seven-speed sports transmission, allowing for vastly improved handling characteristics in comparison to the standard SLS AMG. With a staggering 8,000-rpm rev limit, 0 to 60 mph could be reached in just 3.5 seconds on the way to a top speed of 196 mph. Proof was truly in the numbers for the dynamic sports coupe.

Aside from its impressive performance upgrades, the Black Series could also be differentiated from the standard SLS AMG by its wider fenders, fixed carbon fiber rear wing, and exclusive staggered-diameter forged alloy wheels. Continuing onto the interior, a blend of luxury and sportiness was achieved through use of high-quality materials such as Alcantara and carbon fiber accents, most notably on key areas such as the lightweight racing seats and race-inspired steering wheel. Mercedes-Benz has offered just six exceptional models with the distinctive Black Series badge, with the SLS being one of the most exclusive.

This SLS AMG Black Series, fittingly painted in Obsidian Black, was delivered new to its first owner through Mercedes-Benz of West Chester in Pennsylvania. Optioned with staggered-width Black Series forged black wheels, Bang & Olufsen AMG surround sound system, and a black interior with plenty of Alcantara, its total MSRP reached nearly $300,000. Sparingly used over the past decade, just 4,823 miles present of the odometer at the time of cataloguing.

There have been very few cars offered in recent times which combine the illustrious Gullwing design with raw, lightweight performance. The SLS AMG Black Series manages to accomplish just that—making this low-mileage, well-kept example a perfect addition to the astute collector’s garage.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/auctions/mo25/.
