2010 SLS AMG Gullwing Production is GO!
You asked for it, you BEGGED Mercedes and now they will go ahead with a large production of 2010 SLS AMG Gullwing coupes. It has been reported Mercedes-Benz’s performance division, AMG, will produce a SLS Black Series for debut in 2013. So all you gullwing-enthusiasts can chill out already. But get prepped to dish out £230,000 if you’re in the UK/Europe.
This special 2013 edition “Black” SLS will include many upgrades, the standard M159 engine, a 6.2 liter V8 power plant with 563 bhp and 648 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque, will be dialed up to around 600 bhp and 677 Nm (500 lb-ft) of cranking kraft. The Black Series’ 0 to 100km/h sprint is expected to fall below 3.5 seconds, from the standard SLS’s 3.8. Top speed will rise to from 314 km/h (195 mph) to 335 km/h (208 mph).
AMG will achieve that power upgrade by increasing the compression ratio of the engine, creating a new profile for the camshafts and using a larger air intake manifold. But how much power can AMG continue to squeeze out of that 6.2 liter V8? Plenty.
