Just when we thought the 2010 SLS 63 AMG was bad ass enough, the fellas at Mercedes-Benz came up with the SLS AMG GT3. And now guess what? All of that race awesomeness is reportedly going to trickle down to a street-legal version a la Black Series. Danke schoen to the powers-that-be in Affalterbach!

I was invited to the AMG Preview Night at this year’s LA Auto Show, where the brand-spanking new SLS AMG was unveiled. Four-time SCCA Trans-Am Champion Tommy Kendall as well as some of AMG’s top brass were on hand to do the honors. This new iteration of the 300SL contains a hand-built V8, pumping out 563 hp and a seat-stuffing 479 ft-lbs of torque. The presenters were pretty tight-lipped when asked about the electric version, the SLS eDrive, but it’s nice to know that AMG and Mercedes-Benz are thinking about the environment as well.
