SLS AMG Coupe Black Series is a super-car version of SLS AMG Coupe inspired by the racing version of the SLS AMG GT3. It includes increased engine power to 631 PS (464 kW 622 hp) and torque to 635 Nm (468 lb/ft), increased engine's redline to 8000 rpm, fully revised high-speed valve train with modified camshafts, adapted cam geometry and optimized bucket tappets featuring a special coating which is otherwise exclusive to racing vehicles, modification of the intake air ducting (de-restriction and adaptation to the new maximum engine speed), adaptation of the engine application and increase in peak pressure. This results in a 0-60 speed of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 196 mph.
The vehicle is 70 kg (150 lb) lighter than the standard model. This is accomplished by increased use of carbon fiber in body panels, mechanical components, and the spaceframe. Further, a switch from steel to titanium for the exhaust reduces weight by 13 kg (29 lb). The use of lithium-ion battery reduces weight by 8 kg (18 lb). The AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission is installed 10mm lower in order to achieve a lower centre of gravity for the vehicle and is braced against the body by gas-filled struts in order to avoid stress cycles. The transmission's 'Sport plus' and 'Manual' modes feature faster shifting speed. The downshifting throttle blips are more audible. The new temporary M mode enables the driver to activate manual mode without having to remove a hand from the steering wheel, by pressing the 'up' or 'down' shift paddle once.
Other features include electronically controlled AMG rear-axle differential lock with a shorter rear-axle ratio, new AMG RIDE CONTROL performance suspension (tauter basic tuning and electronically controlled two-stage damping, coil-over spring retainers to enable adjustment of wheel loads, elastokinematics 50 / 42% more rigid (front/rear axle), track width increased by 20 / 24 millimeters (front/rear axle), new wheel carriers on front axle and new front stabilizer tuning, matte black with high-sheen AMG 10-spoke light-alloy wheels in particularly light forged design with optimized strength (10x19-inch front, 12x20-inch rear), Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 sports tires (275/35 R 19 front, 325/30 R 20 rear), AMG speed-sensitive steering with newly defined power steering characteristic), AMG ceramic brake discs (402 x 39 millimeters front and 360 x 32 millimeters rear) with increased hardness, wide flared wings with an added width of 13 mm (front) and 26 mm (rear) on each side, darkened headlamps and black surrounds for the rear lights, front apron and rear apron with diffuser along with side sill panels in Black Series-specific design (carbon fiber-reinforced plastic front splitter, carbon inserts in the side sills and the rear apron made of carbon fiber, enlarged air intakes with carbon-fiber flics), carbon-fiber bonnet with central air outlet, Alcantara black or Alcantara black/red interior AMG Performance steering wheel with Alcantara upholstery, metal bezel features a high-gloss black paint finish to match the high-gloss black surrounds of the air vents, Alcantara strip in anthracite across the entire width of dashboard leather with red contrasting stitching in the leather, designo leather and Alcantara upholstery (including bottom section of the dashboard, door center panels and on the AMG sports bucket seats in Alcantara), deleted COMMAND APS multimedia system replaced by a carbon-fibre trim element (COMMAND APS is optionally available), AMG DRIVE UNIT, red seat belts and red contrasting stitching on the AMG sports bucket seats, the upper and lower section of the dashboard and the door paneling floor mats with red edging.
