The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is a high-performance variant of the SLS AMG with a 622 horsepower V8 engine. It has a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds, titanium exhaust, special aerodynamic components, and extensive use of lightweight carbon fiber and titanium. While very powerful, its stiff suspension and excessive power make it uncomfortable on normal roads and difficult to control on some racetracks according to reviews.
