Power, endurance and unlimited performance -- a perfect description of the dark flagship vehicles of Mercedes-AMG. Since 2006, only selected models have been awarded the "Black Series" crown. We illuminate the history of the dark flagships of AMG. Coming soon: The next Black Series model is about to join its powerful predecessors and expand this range to six AMG Black Series models in total. Each individual model represents a milestone in vehicle technology and performance. On the occasion of the new member's arrival to the fleet of AMG flagship vehicles, we would like to take a look at the history of the AMG Black Series. Therefore, we talked to the experts that are the closest to the Black Series models. Joerg Letzel, Product Manager of the new Black Series model, and Ralf Sporr, responsible for the historic AMG fleet, take us back to the beginnings of this special series and give us insights into the features and refinements of the individual models. AMG Private Lounge: What is the Black Series and how did the idea come about? Joerg Letzel (JL): As we all know, the history of AMG is based on motorsports. In 1967, the founders Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher had the vision to build vehicles based on Mercedes cars with such enormous power that they could also be used in motorsports. The focus of this consideration was therefore to transfer these motorsports genes, so to say our roots, to a street-legal vehicle. This is how the "Black Series" concept was born. Which model originally inspired the Black Series? JL: AMG was trying to create cars for a racing series in the Asian market at that time. The first model for this purpose was a Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG. The first generation back then still had a Vario convertible roof but was ultimately built as a closed version. The first Black Series was derived from this vehicle concept. Soon the sixth model will be launched. Why is the idea still being pursued today? JL: The response to the vehicle was positive. We wanted to continue to work on AMG’s brand profile based on this topic in order to strengthen AMG as a performance brand within the Daimler Group and thus establish the link to motorsports and racing expertise. This connection to racing was then continued and developed further with the CLK 63, as the basis for the second Black Series. To put it short, it was an opportunity to once again consistently sharpen the perception of the brand AMG as a performance brand. "In my opinion, Black Series models are always the flagship vehicles or a particularly sporty version of an AMG model range." What is so special about a Black Series model and how does it differ from other models? Ralf Sporr (RS): In my opinion, Black Series models are always the flagship vehicles or a particularly sporty version of an AMG model range. They represent the performance limit of a model range, where everything possible is drawn out of that model. This creates a new quality standard. Black Series bring together everything that can be achieved in terms of driving technology at a certain point in time and put it on the road. JL: In addition, following the motorsports roots, they have always been two-seater vehicles. Most important is maximum performance, but of course also the implementation of technical features in terms of driving dynamics. The vehicles are developed and optimized through the implementation of appropriate components and scopes so that they can also be used by our customers on a racetrack during Track Days for instance. The racetrack suitability is an important point here. The basic idea was that our customers could, for example, explore the possibilities of their vehicle on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. What role does the Performance Studio play in the vehicle development process? RS: The Performance Studio is a workshop here in Affalterbach. In the past, the vehicle quantities were not as high as they are now and, as with all beginnings, there was a lot of 'research in the dark'. With increasing quantities, the production was moved from the small manufacturer here in the Performance Studio to the larger workshops on site. Nowadays, Black Series are derivatives of the respective model range. How do the Black Series models differ from their original models? Are different materials used? JL: Let's start with the interior: In the Black Series models, for example, so far bucket seats have been installed in order to provide maximum lateral support. Of course, in addition to the performance on the racetrack also the brake system is important. This was designed for maximum performance and durability. The vehicle should offer performance and safety even under extreme conditions on the racetrack. RS: The series models are characterized by high-quality material and fine workmanship. The Black Series have an additional focus on extreme sportiness. Carbon is the sportiest material and it's also light and stable which offers many advantages for the driving experience. In addition, there have always been special rims, of course. In terms of the wheels, extreme emphasis was put on lightweight construction to save weight. On the SLK, for example, we see the forged wheels. That's what distinguishes it from the production models. Today, the forged wheels are also available as optional extras for the series models, but for the early models these were only intended for the Black Series models. "You steer and the vehicle does exactly what the driver wants it to do; with a perfection that is difficult to describe. You just have to experience it yourself!" What role does motorsport play for the Black Series models? How has the latest technology been incorporated? RS: Motorsport plays a big role. DTM, customer sport, and Formula 1 are always somehow involved in the models. You can't really separate these topics. For example Black Series models such as the SL have been developed in cooperation with the HWA AG. A lot of motorsports technology feeds into the development process through such interfaces. The electronics have been further developed and the performance has been increased -- our motorsports experience and its technology are taken full advantage of. Have you ever driven a Black Series model? If so, how would you describe the driving experience? RS: I think I have driven every Black Series model so far and each one was a very impressive experience in its own way. Of course, the cars have evolved over many years. Nevertheless, with every model you sit in your smile gets brighter and you are even more enthusiastic about the Black Series, or about AMG. Every AMG model is per se very sporty and great to drive. As a driver you have the feeling of complete control. This feeling even gets enhanced with the Black Series models. You steer and the car does exactly what the driver demands; with a perfection that is difficult to describe. You just have to experience it yourself! Mercedes-AMG Black Series: An Overview of All Models 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Coupé Black Series The series began with the Safety Car in 2004 and 2005. With an all-round update consisting of a modified chassis, more powerful brakes and, above all, a fixed hardtop, the SLK was transformed from a roadster into a coupé, setting the tone for its successors. Even then, the SLK 55 AMG Black Series embodied the AMG brand claim of "Driving Performance": a combination of tangible driving dynamics, superior sportiness, unique technology and low fuel consumption figures. 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Coupé Black Series The choice for the second generation of the Black Series was something very special. This model emerged from the Safety Car in 2006/07. The fact that it had to keep up with racing drivers like Michael Schumacher at that time speaks for itself. It’s fantastic handling on the racetrack and its special look made the CLK 63 AMG Black Series one of the most charismatic cars on the road. 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Coupé Black Series As you can easily see in the picture, it is speed above all that makes the SL 65 AMG Black Series so unique. Running at 320 km/h, it literally swept the competition off its feet, completely lapping the original model. Also worth mentioning is the incomparable acceleration which makes it one of the most powerful road cars Mercedes has ever built. This offered all speed enthusiasts access to first-class motorsports technology. 2011 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series With the fourth generation, AMG has no doubt sent an unexpectedly extroverted candidate into the race. Wide, low, powerful and off the cuff ready to race. With its appearance, it seems like a tribute to the successful customer sports racing car SLS AMG GT3, perfectly embodying the vision of the Black Series: the transfer of genuine motorsport technology into street-legal vehicles. 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupé Black Series The Black Series update put the dark crown on the SLS, which was anyway designed as a sports car. Inspired by the SLS AMG GT3 racing version, the high-end version of the gullwing impresses with its breathtaking design, grandiose driving dynamics and consistent lightweight construction in line with the "AMG Lightweight Performance" strategy.

With the release of the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, it seemed like a good time for a brief history of each of AMG's previous Black Series models, dating back nearly 15 years. In 2006, it was part of a refocusing at AMG. To top the regular AMG models, distributed through the Mercedes-Benz dealer network, AMG created the Performance Studio with the goal of developing low-production, high-performance models based on AMG's more mainstream models. So far, five have been produced, and that sixth one is around the corner. Here's a look at the previous models, in chronological order:Mercedes-Benz SLK AMG 55 Black Series Unveiled in late 2006 and derived from the 35-unit SLK Tracksport, the SLK 55 Black Series was announced as "purist" and "ready for the track." Changes to the regular SLK 55 were extensive: The naturally aspirated V-8 breathed more freely and grew muscles, from 360 to 400 horsepower, yet it was still mated to a seven-speed automatic. A manually adjustable suspension, Pirelli performance tires, larger brakes and a strengthened chassis helped bring that power to the road. As did the ESP stability control system, which could not be turned off entirely. Wider fenders covered the 235/35R-19 front and 265/30R-19 rear tires. The fixed carbon fiber roof made the heavy kinematics of the regular SLK 55's retractable hardtop obsolete, lowering weight and the center of gravity significantly. At launch, AMG said there would be no specific limit to production. But the hefty price tag meant that no more than 120 units were built from July 2006 to April 2007. Top speed: 174 CLK 63 AMG Black Series When AMG launched the legendary M156 V-8, developed by Bernd Ramler, they used an orange-colored, extreme derivative of the C209 CLK to showcase it on the Paul Ricard racetrack. And while it initially launched in the regular CLK 63 AMG in 2006, it took only another year for the CLK AMG Black Series to be unveiled, with strong cues of that prototype and of the CLK DTM, a previous special edition that was still powered by older, supercharged V-8. In the CLK 63 Black Series, the engine made a full 500 horsepower, mated to a seven-speed automatic; top speed was 186 mph. The ultra-wide track and 265/30R-19 front and 285/30R-19 rear tires asked for brutally expanded fenders. The adjustable chassis was stiffened, the interior sported Alcantara and carbon fiber applications. Launched in 2007, 700 were made and sold globally from April 2007 to March SL 65 AMG Black Series This project was outsourced to HWA Engineering, who turned the SL 65 AMG into a true monster: The 36-valve V-12, force-fed by larger turbos and intercoolers, made 661 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque that was channeled to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic. Terminal velocity was a nice and even, electronically limited 199 mph. The hard top was no more retractable, and it featured a lower roofline and a larger, more aggressively raked widened the body widened significantly and carbon fiber was used liberally. The only body parts shared with the standard SL were the doors and side mirrors. The chassis was redesigned for racetrack performance, and this Black Series stood on 265/35R-19 front and 325/30R-20 Dunlop Sport Maxx GT rubber. Before launch, this Black Series was tested for almost 10,000 miles on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. 350 units were built from September 2008 to August 2009 and the car was essentially sold out at C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series Launched in late 2011, the C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series was fitted with another iteration of the M156 V-8 that was fitted in the CLK 63 Black Series in the past. Rated at 510 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque, it channeled its power to the rear wheels through a 7-speed automatic box. Top speed was governed at 186 all other Black Series models, the C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series came with a adjustable suspension and a much wider track; tire sizes were 255/35R-19 up front and 285/30R-19 out back. The redesigned front axle later inspired the next-gen C-Class AMG's suspension. Extensive changes to the interior and exterior underscore this model's special position, yet AMG offered a Track package and an Aerodynamic package on top. The 800 units, available in Europe beginning in January 2012 and in the as a 2013 model, were sold out quickly; initially, AMG had planned for 600 units but couldn't resist adding another SLS AMG Black Series The last Black Series to date was the SLS AMG Black Series, launched in the spring of 2013. The M159 engine was tuned to 622 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque sent through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic for a terminal velocity of a governed 196 mph. The M159 engine's redline was raised from 7200 to 8000 rpm, and the titanium exhaust system created the soundtrack of a race to extensive use of carbon fiber, the weight was was reduced by a whopping 154 lbs compared to a standard SLS AMG. The car was fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires sized 275/35R-19 in front and 325/30R-20 out back. An optional aero package included an adjustable carbon fiber wing. We hear that 350 were built, AMG will say that "fewer than 200" were imported to the United States.

Having spent some time behind the wheel, I can’t think of better words to describe Rondolf Moreno’s 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series. “I first lusted after the Black Series after an episode of Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson,” Moreno said. “He said something like ‘it doesn’t track very well, it wants to kill you, but it’s a hoot to drive.’ It had a yellow paint scheme, the wild wide body panels, and crazy canards which made me think about getting one.” Moreno shared he found the car on eBay after his 2009 BMW M5 got caught in a hail storm and he received an insurance payout. “I was hard pressed to find a Black Series that I could afford because it’s a special car. Around 80 examples were imported to the United States” Moreno said, adding that the car he bought had high-mileage which out it in his price range. While Moreno’s car is not the same bright yellow as it appeared on Top Gear, the Benz came with its flamboyant flared fenders that widen the vehicle by up front and outback, KW Sports V3S coilover suspension with adjustable dampers, pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft from the SLS AMG supercar, a diff from the world of heavy engineering, and a set of Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes. Despite all the evident racecar engineering, it’s not really a serious track-day rocketship but its a car designed just to make you smile and packed with enough power and performance to make anyone giggle. The C63 AMG power output, 451 hp and 443 lb-ft, is certainly nothing to scoff at but the Black Series builds on that and offers a violent 510 hp and 457 lb-ft from its naturally aspirated M156 V8. The car sounds just about as nasty as you can imagine – the throaty engine note is very reminiscent of the SLS AMG it shares some of its engine components with. The car makes its presence known with the help of the AMG Speedshift seven-speed multi-clutch transmission which, depending on the semi-auto gearbox mode you set, automatically matches revs on downshifts. Behind the wheel, I set the car to “sport-plus” which places the steering, damping, gearbox and electronic-stability program all in their most extreme settings. In “sport-plus” the car feels stable and planted, it inspires confidence and begs you to take the corners a little faster each time. Acceleration throws you back in the seat when prompted, the brakes work well though are a little touchy for my taste. The car provides the feedback you need and want to feel in control, but it still has an undeniable chaotic feel about it that makes it fun. “People think I am joking when I tell them the body is stock with the optional Mercedes-Benz front canards,” Moreno said. The body style is one that’s often replicated, but Moreno shared he was able to identify his car as a real Black Series because, at the time of production, only Black Series cars had red seat belts with red stitch accents and Dinamica seat inserts. After six years, the Benz shows some wear and Moreno wants to restore the Dinamica on the steering wheel and gear shift selector. “I also plan to get a second set of seats with thick Alcantara cloth, like the ones seen in the race cars.” One of the things I love most about Moreno’s car is that aside from a custom tune by Eurocharged in Texas, its largely stock. Don’t worry, it feels as weird writing that as it does reading it, but Moreno is mindful of the cars limited production and that’s something anyone can appreciate. “I would like to keep the car as clean as possible, anything done to it needs to be able to be reversible so when this is a true collectible I can take it to a concours” Moreno said, though he admits he toys with the idea of doing a few Weistec upgrades from time to time and hopes to add a rear spoiler.
