Even though the SLS AMG Black Series went on sale this past summer in the land of the free, Mercedes-Benz USA decided to update everyone on the model's characteristics once again today.
The fifth ever Black Series model in AMG history is also the fastest one yet, especially when talking about track times, although acceleration or top speed numbers aren't exactly low either.
Powered by the latest and most likely final evolution of the M159, 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8, the SLS AMG Black Series can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.6 seconds, onwards to a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph).
“The new SLS AMG Black Series is a perfect study in the one hundred percent transfer of technology and engineering from motorsport to road. We have drawn inspiration from the worldwide success of the SLS AMG GT3 customer sport racing car on both a conceptual and a technological level. Boasting numerous lightweight components and fascinating dynamics, our fifth Black Series model guarantees pure, unadulterated 'Driving Performance.' The SLS AMG Black Series is the ultimate choice for fast laps and a highly emotional driving experience,” says Ola Källenius, outgoing Chairman of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
With a total weight of under 1600 kg (3400 pounds), 631 hp (622 bhp) and 635 Nm (468 lb ft) of torque, the SLS AMG Black Series is also the second most powerful three-pointed star vehicle in the current lineup, getting beaten only by the 740 hp SLS AMG Electric Drive in this department.
