I like how they made it a fixed roof. I wonder how many units they plan as well (these black series so far are very rare)

^yeah till they release a Black version of one of their SUV's. I lost respect for the AMG's once I seen a AMG version of one of their large boats.

incorrect my friend....

The roof on this SL has been converted into a fixed coupe roof, also crafted in carbon fibre to lower the Black Series' center of gravity and further reduce weight.

can't agree with you more, AMG lost its glory when it was involved with every model in the line up, they should def keep Black version limited, very limited.

Making it a fixed roof completely defeats the purpose of the SL. Why have two 2-seat coupes in the AMG Black Series lineup? I can't see it being much better than the CLK63 AMG Black Series (bad ****).

All 3 cars in the Black Series (SLK, CLK, SL) are 2 seat coupes.
