This is the most powerful Black Series car ever built. OK, so just two AMG Blacks were built before it, but weighing in at 670bhp and 737lb ft of torque, it is a genuine heavyweight.
Seconds out, round three...
AMG
replaced the 6.0-litre V12's turbochargers with specially developed
blowers incorporating a new spiral cross-section (12 per cent bigger),
fitted a modified air intake duct and, of course, an AMG sports exhaust
said to "produce a distinctive 12-cylinder sound" (read: LOUD). And
while you're making that noise, it also covers ground in a dandy
fashion: 0-62mph takes 3.9 seconds and it's limited (limited) to a top
speed of 199mph.
The
roof is made of CFRP with an integral rollover bar (binning the SL's
drop-top), there's a CFRP spoiler, twin-spoke AMG 19in wheels and 390mm
front discs (360mm rears). The engineers fitted adjustable coil spring
suspension (allowing for driver adjustments) sitting on a track 97mm
wider at the front and 85mm wider at the rear. They even fitted a
limited slip diff as standard and a five-speed automatic gearbox with
four transmission mode
