Also the same as North, there is a carbon ceramic disc option for 10K.....cant wait for North to accumulate as much info as he can, with lots of pics and videos at next weeks German F1 race and official debut of the Black Series......Barry, you better not come back to canada empty handed or we will have customs canada let you sit in a small, urine smelling cell shared with some big gay dude!!

Car manufacturers claim crank HP, not WHP. How can you loose HP at the crank with either transmission?

Thanks for providing this info. I found it helpful.

@ North 44, a big congrats, I'm sure you're real excited.

Thanks guys for all the Kudos!!

In another 9 days we will know for sure how the Car will be equipped and what motor the BS will have. The M159 comments came from several very reliable sources in Germany and here at home.....so who knows.

Rumor has it that the car at Circuit Paul Ricard may not have been a final production version.

Time will tell>>>>

M159(SLS) engine (CORRECTED)
Carbon Ceramic Brake upgrade option

Will update more live from the F1 GP Nürburgring: AMG World Preview on July 23rd.

Did they give you any indication of power output? I find it hard to believe they would detune that engine all the way to 510-517 as all the reports have stated. I'm thinking if they detune it, it would get a published output in the 530-550 range maybe?

Then again why would they need to detune it at all? There is going to be an SLS black series anyways, so I don't see the harm in giving the C63 black series an indential engine to the normal SLS since those buyers will get the option to upgrade to a higher spec version anyways.
