The Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Black Series is already a very unique machine. But German tuning firm Domanig is offering the few SLS Black Series owners the chance to stand out even more.

771 hp AMG SLS on The Dyno Sounds Insane! [VIDEO]


The AMG SLS is one of those cars that tuners love to play with. With its naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 that produces 563 hp in stock form (583 Hp for the SLS GT), it's a very attractive basis to work on. German tuning company HMS took care of transforming the sexy coupé into a 771 Hp beast.

SLS Black Series by AMG Performance Studio


Mercedes-Benz AMG published the first photos of an AMG Performance Studio creation. The car in question is an SLS Black Series and now Mercedes needs your help to find a name for this paintwork. Mercedes-Benz will reveal the their favorite submission as well as more shots later this month.

The yellow paint job clearly reminds us of Electric Drive version except that the SLS AMG Black Series is powered by the same engine from the standard SLS that has been upgraded to produce 622 Hp. It's also 70 Kg (159 pounds) lighter than the standard SLS which means the weight of the car has been lowered to 1550 Kg (3417 pounds). That allows the car to sprint from 0 to 100 Km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 315 Km/h (196 mph).

More stunning shots after the jump.

Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo Revealed


When Gran Turismo 5 first came out, fans had the chance to get their hands on the Red Bull X2010 model designed Adrian Newey him self. The X2010 (later updated to X2011 through a DLC) was Newey's idea of an F1 car without boundaries. It featured a closed cockpit, ground effect technology with a rear mounted fan that sucked the air beneath the car for more down force and a twin turbo V6 producing more than 1,500 Hp. It was a unique experience to drive the car in the game. It was also a unique feeling to know that a similar car can actually exist in reality.

But that was just the beginning a beautiful adventure. With the upcoming GT6, the concept of getting racing teams and auto makers getting involved in designing their own cars for the game has been pushed even further. And that gave birth to the Vision Gran Turismo Project that came to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the game. The idea was to get auto makers to imagine their own concept cars for the Gran Turismo game and making them available for the players through regular downloadable content. The First Vision Gran Turismo is a Mercedes-Benz AMG model and this is how it looks:

Gulf Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Spotted

Spotted by Adrian & Benneth

The Gulf and Martini Racing are some of our favourite historic racing liveries. They remind us of our well loved and craziest race cars from Porsche and Ford. So there's no doubt that some hardcore fans keep these liveries alive by applying them to their 'everyday' supercars. We really love this Mercedes-benz AMG in Gulf livery spotted by Adrian & Benneth, but we still think it can't match the awesomeness of this Martini Mustang!

Mercedes-Benz Reveals the CLA 45 AMG Racing Series


Mercedes-Benz released the official pictures of the new CLA 45 AMG based customer race car. AMG offers the customer the ability to adapt engine performance and technical specifications to the regulations of the racing series in which he'd like to compete.

"The #SLSAMGGT3 has paved the way, and we are now offering you a glimpse of the possible new member of @AMGCustomerSports team: the CLA 45 AMG Racing Series.
Authentic racing sport flair, competitive technology, spectacular design, and exemplary high safety – the close-to-production, four-door, high-performance coupé CLA 45 AMG Racing Series is planned for the highly popular racing series with 2-liter turbocharged vehicles.
With the genes of a champion, the #CLA 45 AMG which was launched in 2013 with the world’s most powerful series production 4-cylinder engine, serves as the basis for the possible new customer sports race car. On the race car version it would be possible to adapt the engine performance and technical specifications to the regulations of different racing series. Here, both permanent all-wheel drive and pure front-wheel drive are possible. As in the series vehicle, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports gearbox takes care of power transmission. Body panels made completely of carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) and specific aerodynamic components promise to provide top-level racing competitiveness, not to mention impressive design. The interior is focused on pure function with numerous safety and race car features.
In a few days, the show car will celebrate its world premiere at the IAA Frankfurt (September 12 - 22, 2013).
Tell us how you like the potentially new AMG Customer Sports family member!"
