Earlier this morning, we shared a spy video of a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series in heavy cladding doing the rounds on the Nürburgring track. Now we learn that the Stuttgart-based carmaker’s AMG division is preparing a surprise debut.

Along with the picture of a covered up car, AMG released this short statement:

“Anticipation is supposed to be the greatest joy. But don’t worry, Mercedes-AMG will not wait until Christmas to unwrap this gift. The mystery about the latest Mercedes-AMG model will be disclosed soon. In less than 24 hours, we reveal the secret under the car cover. Stay tuned and check back with us tomorrow.”

Unless we are hugely mistaken, the outline of the car and the “AMG Black Series” name printed on the cover all point to the SLS AMG Black Series that you have heard and seen so much about this past year.

The most hardcore production version of the SLS AMG ‘gull-wing’ coupe is expected to feature a wide body kit, a tuned chassis and an upgraded 6.2-liter V8 engine.
