New Sls amg black series bringing gt3 performance to the road

Mercedes Benz  have announced the new sls amg, no real secret as this we spotted this testing in april at the nurburgring heavily disguised.

Mercedes Benz describe it as gt3 car performance but for the road, interesting changes:

• Power output of 631bhp delivered at 7400rpm
• 0-60=3.6 seconds
• 196mph top speed.
• Coilover amg ride control performance suspension
• Amg high performance composite brake system
• Weight optimised forged lightweight alloys with newly developed sports tyres.
• Faster shift times with the Amg speedshift dct 7 speed.
• Newly designed titanium exhaust

This is just a brief outline of the changes but reading the spec list alot of work has been done on the chassis with a wider track and new front hub setup. The engine now also revs to 8000rpm instead of the 7200 of the old sls.

Their is also an optional amg aero performance package.

The market launch of the car will be June 2013.

Motoring review have had the pleasure of driving an Sls roadster and rate it as one of the best sounding cars, the new titanium exhaust and raised limiter should make a memorable noise :)
