Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Black Series | PH Video

A new flagship Black Series is on the way from AMG; it'll be going some to surpass the last one, though...

---

A good car deserves a good road, doesn't it? And an even better car, naturally, deserves an even better stretch of tarmac. So with access to an SLS Black, more than a pootle along the high street and a cruise down the motorway is needed to do it justice. After all, this was one of the last cars with that ferocious 6.2-litre V8, the fastest SLS ever produced, probably the best Black Series AMG made, and incredibly rare, too - less than 20 right-hand drive cars were made.

Hence kicking off a new video series with the sensational SLS, which we're going to call Rise & Drive. Pretty self explanatory, but the plan is essentially to revisit some iconic cars on some brilliant bits of road, film them early in the morning and share for all and sundry to - hopefully - enjoy. Simple, right?

We have a couple more planned, with Dan Prosser on presenting duties, and this should give you an idea of what's to come over the next few weeks. If there are car and road combos you'd like to see, then let us know - enjoy the vid!

More of these Rise & Drive video’s please, just what the doctor ordered!

And if there’s room for an additional series a similar one that goes in depth on iconic race cars would be mega.

mighty motor, fabulous scenery

continue to embrace the "Englishness" of your test locations and I reckon you'll pull a lot of eyeballs from abroad (and not merely those from the UK)

Definitely the case! This foreigner would love to see (dunno which cars are best suited to said ;
~Cairngorms
~West coast of Schotland (can’t choose which is the best bit, something like the bit leading up to Skye might be good)
~Snowdonia
~Lake District
~North Pennines
..Etc, I think the theme I’m after for my own tour across the UK might be clearly emerging by now.

P.s. If requests are allowed; Please do add more footage of the surrounding area, roads and responses (face and sounds, talking not necessary in the car, voice-over only will do) of you whilst driving (in short, of ‘the experience’) in the upcoming episodes (think EVO coty style or the Curves magazin filming style {not the silly music etc} ). This will enhance my enjoyment but definitely also massively up the views.
