The car will stay true to the successful Black Series formula of removing weight while adding power, but in this case the modifications should be enough to allow it to take on cars like the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo and Audi R8 GT. The SLS AMG Black Series will represent the final and greatest chapter for AMG's magnificent 6.2-liter V8, which is currently being phased out in favor of a more fuel-efficient twin-turbo 5.5-liter mill.

As such, it will deliver 622 horsepower and 468 lb-ft. of torque in this application. Combined with a beefed up AMG seven-speed dual clutch transmission, the SLS AMG hits 60 mph from a complete stop in just 3.5 seconds before topping out at 196 mph.

The upgraded engine now revs to a staggering 8,000 rpm limit.

In addition, the Black Series is designed to handle curves and corners better with a wider (0.8 inches front, 0.9 inches rear) track and an AMG rear axle differential lock. A stiffer suspension and two-piece ceramic brakes should make the most of available power.

To stand out from "mere" SLS AMGs, the Black Series features matte black forged alloy wheels - staggered at 10x19" front and 12x20" rear - and substantial carbon fiber trim. Those so inclined can further carbon fiber-ize their SLS AMGBlack Series cars with optional exterior mirrors, engine covers and interior bits. Notably, those interested in saving even more weight can delete the automaker's COMAND infotainment system. Overall, curb weight is down to 3,417 lbs.

Not sure...maybe it is the color but I need to see it in real life before passing judgement.
 
Nope, it is ugly. Just saw a picture in white and it is an ugly car versus the standard SLS. To top it off it is not much faster either.

Once again good marketing from MB on getting premium dollars by throwing some "Black Series" logo on it.
 
????????????????????????

Référence au thread Stang/Dart.


Personnellement, une Mercedes, ce n'est pas fait pour être jaune avec des bébelles aérodynamiques.

J'ai l'impression de voir un sports car " classy" qui essaie de passer pour un pseudo char de course.
 
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOOWOWWOWOWOWOW

Thank god its not a convertible. I hate the gullwing-not gullwing.
 
Nice, mais comme toute les autres Black series, sa va etre du overkill et sa sera pas utilisable. Rendu la, j'opterais pour la SLS GT3

100% d'accord avec toi pour le jaune... MBZ arrete pas de ramener cette teinte-la depuis leur proto SLS électrique... Would like to see in sparkling silver...

MBZ ont jamais utilisé un jaune comme sa, mais plus un genre de jaune mixé vers fluo ou la premiere E-Cell qui a été abandonné. Leurs SLS electrique est maintenant bleu chromé gay.
