Im waiting for the SLS Black !
Thats next

 

I heard its out for 2013/2014 along with an E-cell SLS.

There will be a SLS Facelift LED headlights, different tail lights.

 

Apparently so . It will be the last time the fantastic NA engine is used . I will weep that day

up to 650 bhp apparently .

 

Amazing write up and great photos.

MB AMG really did it right this time around. It looks like the car isn't lacking in any department of performance. I'm glad they decided to bring it to the States. Too bad we don't get those beautiful Recaro Pole Positions though.

 

So this one looks like it will only be sold across the water. Will the US get the aero package and those seats??

 

I was at Laguna Seca today for the final day of the AMG Driving Academy and saw 4 different C63 Black Series as well as the new SLK55 and ML63.

USA cars will still have aero package options but not the seats .

 

At 1.36, its as fast as the 458 and quicker than the .2 GT3RS!
