Car Porn : Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series testing at the Nurburgring

The all-new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series has been recently caught on camera while it was being tested at the Nurburgring.

With the current SLS AMG generation coming to a stop thanks to the updated version, which will add a GT badge to its name along with some minor exterior updates and a small power boost, the German supercar will be getting a new version, which will be the most powerful yet. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, or Black Edition as it is expected to be named, has been tested on the Nurburgring track in Germany, where it was also captured on camera.
There is no official word on the SLS AMG Black Series from the car manufacturer just yet, but the only new version confirmed until now is the SLS AMG GT, which will get a reprogrammed ECU, and the total output of the 6.2 liter AMG V8 engine will increase by 20 horsepower, to a total of 591 horsepower. This minor power boost will allow the German supercar to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in 11.2 seconds. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG will be priced at 204,680 euros for the Coupe and 213,010 euros for the Roadster to the SLS AMG Black Series will be significantly more expensive.

Rides : Mystery super Lexus LS spotting lapping Nürburgring

We spy, with the lens of our spy guy, a rather unique Lexus LS that's taken to the track. Spotted lapping Germany's Nürburgring, this particular LS is wearing puffed-out fenders, a strongly styled decklid spoiler, what appears to be a faux nose hiding new bodywork, deep side skirts and a pair of vents on the hood. Something sporty is afoot, and we're itching to know more.

Toyota is clearly testing a super sporty version of its flagship luxury sedan. What's not clear, however, is what exactly is going on underneath the bodywork. We do know that this is work of the automaker, and not an aftermarket tuner testing some new performance parts out. The license tags on the car are from Cologne, and the car was spotted at the automaker's garage nearby.

Could we be staring at a Lexus LS F in disguise? The automaker has hinted in the past at such a car coming to market over the years, and this luxury sedan is certainly wearing some athletic upgrades. Funny, we thought for sure that a variant of the new GS was going to be next in line to get the F Sport treatment. Could this just be a one-off piece for the Tokyo Motor Show or Tokyo Auto Salon, or is it indicative of something more?

Final amusing note: The wheelman at the helm of this mystery "LS F' must be new to the 'Ring – that giant "L" on the rear window indicates he's a Learner.
