Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series To Debut This Week?

Mercedes-Benz has released a single teaser image for what is likely to be a new Black Series flagship version of the SLS AMG supercar. 

The photo reveals a black sheet draped over what looks to be the SLS AMG shape, but more sharply flared wheel arches suggest it is the latest addition to the Black Series family. 

"Anticipation is supposed to be the greatest joy. But don’t worry, Mercedes-AMG will not wait until Christmas to unwrap this gift. The mystery about the latest Mercedes-AMG model will be disclosed soon," the carmaker said in a statement released with the image.

"In less than 24 hours, we reveal the secret under the car cover. Stay tuned and check back with us tomorrow."

TMR's spy photographers caught the enhanced SLS testing at the Nurburgring earlier this year. Wearing only light camouflage, the coupe's pumped-up guards were more than obvious.

A more aggressive nosecone with enlarged brake ducts could also be seen on the camouflaged front end.

The flared wheel arches suggest a widened track, which will enable the fitment of wider rubber and improve cornering stability beyond the already impressive levels.

Also visible is a carbon-ceramic brake package. Already an optional extra with the regular SLS, you can bet it will be standard equipment here.
