Spy Photos: 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series

 AMG makes some of the best muscle cars in the world right now. Argue the definition of that all you want, but they make big cars with big power and huge torque. The trouble is, they tend to err on the side of comfort in their burnout machines. After all, these are for Mercedes-Benz buyers.

Lately, though, Mercedes has realized that there are buyers who want huge power, but also want sharp handling and a less comfortable (more sporty) ride. And that's where the Black Series line of AMGs comes in. They had the CLK63 AMG Black Series,the SL65 AMG Black Series and just recently, the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe.

Now Mercedes-Benz is adding another badder, blacker car to the lineup: The SLS AMG Black Series. The SLS AMG is already stupid-fast, but it could be sharper, louder, more responsive and, well, faster. And that appears to be what we have here. Bigger tires (the SLS already comes with 265/35ZR19 front and 295/30ZR20 rear), bigger scoops, and a more aggressive body kit set this one apart from the run of the mill SLS. Surprisingly, the exhaust remains the same, this is an early prototype, however, and that's likely to change. The 6.2-liter V8 is likely to get a power bump from 563 to somewhere right around 600.
