At its heart lies AMG’s formidable 5,980cc twin-turbocharged V12, producing 670 bhp and 1,000 Nm of torque, delivered through a five-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels. Performance is extraordinary, with 0–62 mph achieved in approximately 3.9 seconds and a maximum speed of 199 mph, electronically limited. The Black Series also benefits from a comprehensive programme of chassis and body modifications, including a wider track, revised suspension, a fixed carbon-fibre roof, extensive carbon-fibre body components and a more aggressive aerodynamic package. Together, these enhancements distinguish it significantly from the standard SL 65 AMG, delivering a more focused driving experience while retaining the refinement expected of the SL.

The exterior is finished in Designo Mystic White Metallic, a sophisticated finish that highlights the sculpted bodywork and contrasting dark aerodynamic details. The Black Series’ signature features include its widened wheel arches, distinctive front and rear bumpers, vented bonnet and fixed rear spoiler. Inside, the cabin retains the luxurious character of the SL, complemented by the model’s sporting intent and bespoke AMG detailing. The combination of its rare Black Series bodywork, hand-built V12 powertrain and exceptionally low mileage makes this a compelling example of Mercedes-Benz and AMG’s engineering at their most ambitious.
