We never watch Top Gear because it's all show and no substance, but if we did, we'd know Jeremy Clarkson has already driven the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series… in season 20, episode 4… which aired last month.
Despite never watching it, we know Clarkson likes the silver car he tested in that episode. He liked it so much, apparently, that he had to drive it once more in another color.
NM2255 filmed a tall, old bloke in baggy jeans driving a yellow SLS AMG Black Series. The car is on German plates, meaning it's the official AMG press car, and will probably be featured on Clarkson's next annual DVD.
Powered by the range-topping 6.2-liter V8 mill that delivers 622 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque, the Black Series edition boasts 37 more horses than the regular SLS AMG. If you live in America, that means 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds and a price of $275,000. If you live in Europe, the ultimate Mercedes about €249,900 in Germany and some serious track times.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
