When Mercedes officially launched the SLS AMG Black Series back in 2013, it cost 230,000 a hefty 60,000 more than the standard SLS AMG. And thanks to the crazy world of supercar auctions and rare car values, that mark-up is starting to look like a bit of a bargain. Case in point: this nearly-new SLS AMG Black Series is up for auction at Pebble Beach with Gooding & Company, guided with an estimated price of $450,000 $550,000. That"s a top-end estimate of 420,000 quite the increase in five short years. This particular example is, depending on your view, a 600-mile minter, or a 600-mile waste of a fabulous, savage driver"s car that arguably exists as the high point of AMG"s achievements to date. We"d err towards the latter. But will anyone wealthy enough to drop around half a million dollars on chassis number 147 here resplendent in Solarbeam yellow, just like 29 other US-spec cars be brave enough to drive the thing?
