This new episode of DRIVE sees Chris Harris heading to France’s Paul Ricard Circuit to put the new SLS AMG Black Series through its paces. But first, he gives us a great insight into this more extreme version.
Weight-saving measures include a carbon fibre driveshaft, 15 kg lighter seats, a 17 kg titanium exhaust system and a featherweight lithium-ion battery; all contributing to the Black Series’ 70 kg reduction to 1,550 kg.
Powered by a revised version of the regular SLS’s 6.2-litre V8, the Black Series has 464 kW (622 hp) and 635 Nm of torque at its disposal; enough for a 3.6 second sprint to 100 km/h and a 316 km/h top speed.
