Mercedes-Benz SLS Black Series
2013 | 10 510km | Diamond White
SOLD
The Pinnacle of Modern AMG Engineering
Today we celebrate the sale of one of the most significant modern performance cars ever produced — the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series. A car that represents the absolute peak of AMG’s naturally aspirated era, combining motorsport engineering, rarity and unmistakable presence.
The SLS AMG itself was conceived as a tribute to the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, reintroducing the iconic gullwing doors to the world after more than five decades. It remains highly unlikely that we will ever see another petrol-powered Gullwing of this nature again — making the SLS a landmark car in Mercedes-Benz history.
Black Series: A Different Breed
The Black Series variant elevated the SLS into an entirely different category. This was not simply an upgrade — it was a complete transformation.
Through extensive use of carbon fibre, a titanium exhaust system, carbon ceramic braking system, lithium-ion battery and lightweight bucket seats, the Black Series shed approximately 70 kg over the standard car. Power was increased to 622 horsepower, delivered by AMG’s legendary naturally aspirated V8, while chassis and aerodynamic revisions brought a sharper, more focused driving experience.
A wider track, adjustable coilover suspension, electronic locking rear differential, and aggressive aerodynamic enhancements ensured the Black Series delivered exceptional precision and capability — both on road and track.
Production was extremely limited, with just 350 units built globally, and only a small number produced in right-hand drive configuration, making it one of the rarest modern AMG models ever created.
A Unique South African Example
This particular example holds an even more special place in local automotive history. Finished in Diamond White, it is believed to be the only example delivered in this specification to South Africa.
Having remained with a single custodian throughout its life, the car spent over a decade as part of one of the most significant AMG collections in the country — quietly preserved and meticulously cared for.
After years of pursuing this specific vehicle, we are proud to have brought it to market and ultimately placed it with a new custodian who will continue to preserve and enjoy this remarkable piece of automotive history.
A Modern Classic, Cemented in History
The SLS AMG Black Series stands as one of the most important cars AMG has ever produced. Widely regarded as the last truly analogue, naturally aspirated AMG supercar, it represents a turning point in performance car engineering.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, it is more than just a car — it is an investment-grade modern classic, and a defining icon of its era.
