When you take a regular Mercedes-Benz car and give it a fat engine, big power and lots of fancy performance bits, you get an AMG. When you take a regular AMG coupe and make it even more aggro and faster, then you get a Black Series. And four of them will be for sale very soon!
Since the early 1990s, Mercedes-Benz has offered badass versions of its standard cars that bore the sign of Haus AMG. (Now, arguably, there are too many AMGs, but that’s a talk for later.) And then they got even more badass with the Black Series cars. These are the best ones.
The Black Series line from Mercedes-AMG consists of cars for insane bastards. There was the CLK 63 AMG Black Series, which was fast enough to blast your retinas into the back of next Tuesday. And there was the SL65 AMG Black Series, which was so stiff your very existence turned to jelly. We always figured that it was…
Sleep with one eye open if there's a Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series in your garage. It's a brutal killer. Just look at it. It's an SLS AMG GT3 if the SLS AMG GT3 is being hunted by Interpol.
Car enthusiasts love stripped-out, factory-built "race cars for the road." What happens when someone turns one back into a racecar?
If you know anything about expensive cars, you know that "Black Series" is German for "crazy expensive." The 2012 Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series, however, is only moderately expensive. Figure sub-$100,000, making this the fancy fast Merc for plebes. Engine parts from the SLS AMG mean it's still plenty fast though.
Mercedes-Benz has reportedly revealed its new C63 AMG Black Series Coupe in France, at a test event at Circuit Paul Ricard. Details are few, but some on hand say the new model is lighter (by 44 lbs) but less hardcore than the CLK Black Series it replaces, and even includes seating for four.
Start with an already-tuned-by-AMG SL65 Black Series, fit it with larger turbos, huge brakes, a new transmission, then wrap it in black vinyl and put some weird plastic on the hood. Voila, the Brabus Vanish — an 800 HP SL.
Jeremy Clarkson called it the kin of Cain, but Nice Price or Crack Pipe thinks this F1-inspired and AMG-be-crazed CLK is more than able.
According to 4WheelsNews, there's a Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series in the works that sheds 660lbs and turns the 563 HP, gullwing door-equipped GT into a track car. Also, expect the SLS AMG Convertible in 2011. [4WheelsNews]
With twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 under the bonnet blasting out 661 HP and 738 lb-ft of torque, the newly-revealed 2009 Mercedes Benz SL65 Black, the pointy-star brand has really upped its game when it comes to tweaking out production platforms. In fact, as the video below the jump shows, watching it in action is…
Mercedes has finally revealed the new 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series. Based on the recently revised Benz SL65 AMG, the newly blackened version will now be Mercedes most powerful production car ever. With the finely tuned and double-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 under the hood, power is up to an astonishing 661…
As we've said before, Mercedes in-house speed shop AMG adopted a multitiered approach to tuning. At the second tier from the top Signature series, the Black Series includes uprated and spec'd out versions of AMG models. We've already seen the CLK63 Black Series, which sports a 500-horsepower version of the AMG…
Mercedes chose a "Mission Impossible" theme, complete with stilted script-reading and allusions to secret messages self-destructing in ten seconds, to intro the CLK63 Black Series. Then they whipped off some sweet LA Guns-grade pyrotechnics, which added paramilitary violence to the CLK63's latent motorial violence.…
Those adorable scamps at Autoblog.nl say the sekrit mystery AMG set to debut in New York is the CLK63 Black Series. That is, a pure-sports version of the CLK63 introduced last year. It'll likely be offered in a greater limited number than the ultra high-performance CLK DTM model, and — even more important to us yanks…
The guys from Autoholic staked out a few choice roadside posts and caught several of this week's N rburgring testers as they rounded various corners in the woodlands, roaring like wounded (or amorous) cheetahs. There's the Audi R8, Mercedes AMG CLK 63 Black Series and Porsche GT2 and BMW M3. We'd imagine if they ever…
A reel of new spy footage featuring the AMG CLK 63 Black Series, which had been mistakenly ID'd as a new DTM model earlier this year, has surfaced on Dutch site Autovisie. Caught tearing the N rburgring a new offramp, the CLK will likely be among the first in a spate of AMG models due from the Benz division's new…
World Car Fans sets the record straight. Yesterday, word was this spy shot represented the facelifted Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM. Now, spies say it's not the DTM, but one of the AMG boys' new special edition models — the CLK 63 Black Series. If you'll recall, the Black Series will represent the division's uprated and…
