The long version
The SLS Black Series is AMG's naturally aspirated V8 epic with the volume turned up until it distorts. It is lighter, angrier and more focused than the standard SLS, but the market has made it too expensive for most owners to treat casually. That tension is exactly why it scores lower than the drama suggests: the car wants to be used hard, the asset wants to be preserved. It completes the SLS family and the Black Series ladder in one move.
