It took a while, but I finally made it to my 200th upload, so here is something a bit more special. I found this SLS AMG Black Series about six years ago at the Arboretum plaza in Cary shortly before Christmas. The crazy thing is that I initially stumbled upon a white F12 parked a little ways down the row, and I walked right past this without even noticing until the owner walked out of Starbucks and mentioned that there was a "better car" parked a few spaces away. I believe he has since sold this as well as a red SL65 AMG Black Series that he owned at the same time.

Topspeed 315 KM/H

    @jasper1 @Exclusieveautofotografie.nl @Horse-Power @thomcarspotter thanks guys! When I spotted this, both Mercedes and Ferrari had literally just started making customer deliveries of the Black Series and F12, and I suspect both cars were probably among the first examples delivered in the U.S. I was going to use this for spot #100, but I spotted some other cool stuff in the meantime, and honestly I forgot I still had this saved up in my carspotting folder lol. I have spots ready for #300, #400, and #500 whenever I get there.

    Hey Nick, this is just like my GT2 RS spot ;) Caught it parked and then managed to get one shot as it left. I really hope to find the owner's SLS Black Series that he often drives! @NCspotter
