Another great Evo video. The SLS Black Series takes on the its slightly more serious Stuttgart rival, the 620hp GT2 RS. Will the plus of power be enough to beat the strongest Porsche (excluding the 918)? Click play and find out. And enjoy the bonkers V8 AMG soundtrack.

Imagine a 991 GT2RS with a PDK and 4 wheel steer for the sake of acceleration and lap times. Holy Jesus.

That would totally kill the coolness of it, but it would blow my mind on a stat sheet. A talented driver can still make the GT2RS almost that fast, though.

I''m all for having both a manual and PDK version. The latter strictly for said stat sheets and subsequent bragging rights.

One of the few recent cars you can row your own in all the way to 200 MPH. If I am ever so rich that I can buy an SLS, I definitely would buy one...

...GT2 RS. Because fun and difficulty.

Totally agreed. The hard-to-drive factor makes the GT2 RS one of the few 200 MPH cars that a little oil prince would turn down.

I am a huge Mercedes fan, but I would also take the GT2 RS. When it comes to lightweight german cars, my order is GT3 RS 4.0 > GT2 RS > GT3 RS 3.8 MkII > SLS AMG Blackseries > GT3 RS 3.8 MkI

It would ruin the charm of the GT2 RS, but that would be a kick ass vehicle. Laptimes maybe at around 7:15 on the ring would be my guess.

Right you are, sir. I would also love a 993 Turbo S or GT2, but that's more of a classic these days. If it's okay to consider a 3.7 0-60 time "classic!" The Black series is just incredible, though.

Yeah for sure. I should have noted in my initial comment that there would be both manual and PDK versions. The latter strictly for spec sheets and lap times.

My problem with the Black Series is the rear. The bodykits looks totally wrong and the wing doesn't scream racecar as a bewinged GT3 RS does. Compared to the sexy rear of a 997, it is a let down.

993s are great and probably the best monetary investment at this point, but for driving pleasure, I woud go 997 all day.
