Following on from earlier images, Mercedes-AMG has released further pictures of its Performance Studio Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series along with the name of this new colour.

Responsible for creating bespoke vehicles for those customers who crave a little exclusivity, AMG Performance Studio called on its fans to come up with a title for this one-off retina-melting yellow hue, with Aaron Tempo Temperton’s AMG Afterglow the winner. A black filler cap, rear badging, tailpipes and side graphics complete the look.

Inside, the cabin has been upholstered in a mixture of black and AMG Afterglow leather and Alcantara, with the diamond stitching, central steering wheel spoke, and clock and air vent surrounds also matching the car’s exterior.

Propelled by that delicious 6.2-litre V8 engine producing 464 kW (622 hp) and 635 Nm of torque, the Black Series cracks 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, while top speed is rated at 316 km/h.
