  • SLS BlackSeries

    I've driven the SLS AMG BlackSeries in the US AMG Driving Academy. I've just loved it! It was AMAZING! It's quick, sharp and the steering wheel is so precise. You don't need lots of time to understand that this Beast must be held since you turn on it's engine. I've done some drifts with it, and thanks to the rear-wheel drive, the Donuts got crazy! The problem is that this beauty is quiet expensive, but I wish to own a used one someday, at least a regular SLS !
