Drag Battle: Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series vs Mercedes F1 W03

November 3, 2014 – The Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series is a seriously fast car, shockingly fast, thanks to its 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 622 horsepower and 634 Nm of torque, which helps it sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds.

However, when you have a 2012 Mercedes F1 W03 Formula 1 car that churns out 760 horsepower from a high-revving V8, the SLS AMG Black Series will look as fast as a scooter in comparison.

Luckily, Auto Express has put both cars in a drag race to see just how fast a modern Formula 1 car is compared to a very very fast road car. Check out their video below.
