Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, GT & Black Series

Last updated August 4, 2026

Mercedes-Benz SLS-Class

The Mercedes-Benz SLS-Class lineup starts with the core AMG and SLS AMG models, which blend dramatic supercar design with a comfort-focused cabin. The AMG GT and SLS AMG GT sharpen that formula with more power and firmer responses. The SLS AMG GT Final Edition is the collector-focused send-off, while the SLS AMG Black Series is the lighter, harder-edged model aimed at track-minded drivers.

Frequently asked questions

Why do some listings say AMG while others say SLS AMG?

They generally refer to the same core early SLS model. “SLS AMG” is the full model name, while some listings shorten the trim to “AMG.” Early cars have the 563-hp V8; later regular models use the AMG GT name and a 583-hp tune.

What is the SLS AMG GT trim?

The AMG GT is the sharper later version of the regular SLS. It raises V8 output from 563 to 583 hp and adds quicker transmission responses, firmer suspension tuning and subtle dark exterior details. It was made as both a coupe and a Roadster.

What is the SLS AMG Black Series?

The Black Series is the most track-focused road-going SLS. Offered as a coupe, it has a 622-hp V8, lower weight, stronger ceramic brakes and more aggressive suspension tuning than the AMG GT.

What makes the SLS AMG GT Final Edition special?

The Final Edition is the SLS send-off, limited to 350 cars worldwide. It keeps the AMG GT’s 583-hp powertrain and adds an exposed carbon-fiber hood, carbon front splitter, fixed rear spoiler and a numbered leather-and-carbon interior.

What is the difference between the SLS AMG and SLS AMG GT?

The AMG GT is a sharper evolution of the regular SLS AMG. Power rises from 563 to 583 hp, and the transmission and suspension respond more aggressively. Both retain the naturally aspirated V8, rear-wheel drive and a well-equipped two-seat cabin.

How does the SLS AMG GT compare with the Black Series?

The AMG GT is the more road-friendly choice, with 583 hp and coupe or Roadster body styles. The coupe-only Black Series has 622 hp, less weight, ceramic brakes and much sharper chassis tuning for drivers who prioritize track performance.

Does the Final Edition have more power than the regular AMG GT?

No. Both use the 583-hp naturally aspirated V8 and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Final Edition’s distinction comes from its limited production, exposed carbon-fiber body pieces and special diamond-stitched interior, not an engine upgrade.

Which SLS trim makes the most sense for regular road driving?

The regular SLS AMG or later AMG GT is the road-oriented choice. Both deliver the main V8 supercar experience with heated power seats, navigation and Bluetooth. The AMG GT feels sharper, while the earlier SLS AMG has slightly softer tuning.

Which SLS trim is aimed most directly at track driving?

The SLS AMG Black Series is the track-minded version. Its 622-hp engine, lighter construction, ceramic brakes and more aggressive suspension move it closer to the SLS GT3 race car than the regular AMG GT.

Which SLS trim has the strongest collector focus?

The SLS AMG GT Final Edition has the clearest collector focus. Only 350 were built worldwide, and each combines AMG GT mechanicals with distinctive carbon-fiber exterior parts and a numbered special interior.

Which SLS trims came as a Roadster?

The regular SLS AMG and later AMG GT were sold as Roadsters as well as coupes. The Final Edition also came in coupe and open-top form. The track-focused Black Series was coupe-only.

Do all SLS trims have gullwing doors?

No. Gullwing doors belong to the SLS coupes. Roadster versions are open-top cars without gullwing doors, even though they share the same basic V8, rear-wheel-drive layout as their coupe counterparts.

Which SLS trims have carbon-fiber exterior parts?

The Final Edition has the clearest standard carbon-fiber treatment: an exposed carbon hood, front splitter and fixed rear spoiler. The Black Series emphasizes lighter construction, but the Final Edition’s visible carbon pieces are its defining trim feature.
