If you are a fan of Mercedes-Benz AMG, the 2012 LA Auto Show is the place to be this week.  The 2014 SLS AMG Black-series super car is on display.  Note: this Black-series car is actually gold in color.  This stunning car uses the 6208-cc aluminum V8 with horsepower raised to 622 at 7400 rpm.  Torque actually decreased a little from 479 lb.-ft. to 468 lb.-ft, but the 0-60 mph run time has been cut down to 3.5 seconds.

Mercedes also pulled the wraps off the GL63 AMG SUV.  This top dog of Mercedes people movers employs 550 horsepower AMG biturbo 5.5-liter V8 engine linked to a seven-speed automatic transmission.  This truck will top out near $120,000 with all the bells and whistles and will go on sale in the first quarter of 2013.
