There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series (http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/21/slk-55-amg-black-series-first-from-amg-performance-studio/) introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/clk63+amg+black+series/), the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sl65+amg+black+series/) and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/c63+amg+black+series/). The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/sls+amg) is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?

Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.Continue reading 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video] (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/13/2014-mercedes-benz-sls-amg-black-series-first-drive-review-video/)
