Mercedes-AMG SLS Black Series

399000 C (Unlimited 2)

The **Mercedes-AMG SLS Black Series** (also known as the **Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG**) is a two-seat, two-door luxury sports car made by the Mercedes-AMG division of Mercedes-Benz.

## Description

The Mercedes-AMG SLS Black Series is a high-performance version of the standard SLS. SLS standards for Super Light Sport. It is the direct successor to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and the spiritual successor to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. It is also the only car in the series to feature gull-wing doors. It appears in Gear.Club: True Racing, Gear.Club: Unlimited, and Gear.Club: Unlimited 2.

### History

The Mercedes-AMG SLS was conceived in 2006 with two goals in mind: to be a modern iteration of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL and to be a more sporty version of the Mercedes SL grand tourer. Production began in 2010 and was a massive success. It is the only car to win the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany. The SLS Black Series launched in 2013. Both models ceased production in 2015, being replaced by the Mercedes-AMG GT-Class.

The SLS Black Series was inspired by the SLS AMG GT3 race car. It is equipped with a 6.2L V8 engine generating 583 horsepower and has a top speed of 195 mph. It can accelerate to 60 mph in 3.6 s and brake from 60 mph in 106 feet. It uses more carbon fiber than the standard SLS and is therefore lighter.

## In-Game

In Gear.Club, the SLS Black Series appears as a C1 class car and can be bought at the C1 Car Dealership. It costs 500,000 credits in True Racing, 680,000 credits in Unlimited, and 399,000 credits in Unlimited 2.

### Performance

When comparing the numbered specifications of the SLS to other C1 cars, it appears that it is the worst-performing car in the class. This is not entirely true. The SLS has fairly similar performance to the Acura NSX except that the latter uses hybrid power. The SLS has good handling and a good mid-range acceleration. It is light and powerful, so the SLS is strong but suffers more if it hits a wall.

Given these characteristics, the SLS is a car to tune heavily if the player wishes to use it as their primary C1 vehicle. In general, the SLS will ultimately perform better on tracks with lots of turns.

Since Rally events do not extend past the B3 class, there is nothing to say for Rally races. The SLS and all other C and D class cars cannot be tuned in the Rally Workshop.

### Customization

The SLS Black Series cannot be physically customized at all. There are no body kits or additional rims or spoilers. The car itself already comes with a custom spoiler which is not found on standard SLS models. Since this car is one of the fan favorites, it is unlikely that any customization pieces will become available.

The SLS Black Series has two special edition versions. The first is the SLS Black Series "German Racing". This is the dedicated racing paint for the SLS and features an all-white body with pixelated yellow and black patterns. It is available in True Racing and Unlimited at the C1 dealership. In Unlimited 2, it can be earned by completing a special event. The SLS Black Series "Titanium" adds black and silver with orange accents and Mercedes-AMG logos to the standard car. It is only found in True Racing but is currently not available at the dealership.
