SLS Black Series Yosemite Blue - Fact or Myth?

Hey guys, rumor has it here in Brazil that there is a one of SLS Black Series wandering around these lands.

"They" say that it costed the actual owner around U$40k, and that it is the only one around the globe with that color - Yosemite Blue.

You have any factual data on that?

Produced cars - number of the color + name of the color? I'm guessing those are worldwide numbers.

So, there is no official "Yosemite Blue" according to your info? That's odd. There is also another blueish SLS with beige interior here in Brazil. I'll work on the pic's.

Would like to know where are the data on that color. Is that officially MB or aftermarket? No other samples like this elsewhere?

According to the dealer ordering guide, that's a stock color called Caspian Blue (order code 950). There are ~2 in that color currently for sale in the US...but are listed as AMG Daytona Blue.

Interestingly, one of the for sale Ads included the original sticker and the order code for AMG Daytona Blue remained 950 but had an uncharge of $2,300 on what was originally conceived as a stock color.

Got it. Probably this Black Series owner did that. I'd like to hear someone from inside the AMG factory.. That Yosemite Blue is very very gorgeous.

I know that there is another exclusive version, the SLS Desert Gold. Also not listed. Rumor has it there's one here in Brazil too, never been officially registered to the local Traffic Controler (I don't know how you guys call it). Never leaves the owner's garage.

Register on AMG Private Lounge and you can probably get your question answered by someone at the Factory.

Again,desert gold was on a (normal)SLS at the launch in DUBAI.
Hope that helps.

Alright, normal SLS, but pretty rare color. Don't mind all my questions.. I just love the car, felt like talking it over with people that actually know that kind of detail. Cheers!

It's real, it was confirmed over on the AMG Private Lounge by AMG management a couple years ago.

These are USA numbers not worldwide. Worldwide total was about 350 and it is possible someone may have ordered it in that color in Brazil
