== Overview ==
The SLS AMG Coupé Black Series is a high-performance variant of the SLS AMG Coupé inspired by the SLS AMG GT3. It includes increased engine power to at 7400 rpm and decreased torque to at 5500 rpm, increased engine redline to 8000 rpm, fully revised high-speed valvetrain with modified camshafts, adapted cam geometry and optimised 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 an acceleration time from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.5 seconds (1/10 of a second faster than the SLS AMG GT), and a top speed of 196 mph (315 km/h) - 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower than the SLS AMG.
