    Mercedes-Benz has published an awesome video featuring David Coulthard behind the steering wheel of the impressive SLS AMG Black Series. The super-sports car tackled the famous 1.16-mile Goodwood Hill course.

    The SLS AMG Black series is powered by an uprated 6.2 liter AMG V8 with 631HP (464 kW) at 7,400RPM and 635Nm (470 lb-ft) of torque. 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph). The SLS-AMG Black Series is just 1,550 kg (3,417 lbs), so the power/weight ratio is 2.45 kg/hp.

    Other special features include coil-over AMG RIDE CONTROL performance suspension, AMG ceramic high-performance composite brake system and the weight-optimized forged AMG light-alloy wheels with newly developed sports tyres. There is also an electronically controlled AMG rear-axle differential lock and the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission. Available as an option, AMG can fit the sports car with special Aerodynamics package.
