Who’s ready for an epic AMG v BMW showdown?!
Mat’s lining up for this all-new drag race in the absolutely AWESOME Mercedes-AMG SLS Black Series! This AMG monster is powered by a glorious 6.2-litre naturally-aspirated V8 under the bonnet, which puts down 631hp & 635Nm of torque! It’s rear-wheel drive and weighs in at 1,550kg.
What’s more, it’s worth an eye-watering £700,000 these days… So take it easy out there, Mat!!
Alongside him, we have his current daily driver, the BMW M3 Competition. As we should all know by now, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can put down 510hp & 650Nm. It’s also heavier than the SLS, tipping the scales at 1,730kg.
So what do you think - the SLS is up on power, but will the newer car be able to put down the power better? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

PK is my inspiration!! My mom said that if i got 3k subscribers!! She definitely buy me a mic!! Begging you GUY alot literally begging.
Hey Matt, we need a drag race between the SLR, SLS and an AMG GTR.
Amg gtr for the drag and sls bs for the roll
@@pantherdxn4835 nah, twin turbo v8 has to beat NA v8 in the roll I assume
@@brennan2553 amg gtr has sufficient amount of turbo lag. Tbh the only thing the amg gtr has going for it is a tad bit more torque. It's heavier, has less hp, and it's shorter
Yes plz
Dont forget the grandfather of all of these models, the 300sl gullwing!
The SLS will still look brand new in 20 years. Timeless.
Edit: I agree with Omar, we need an AMG GTR, SLS, and SLR drag race, maybe even an SL 63 AMG
Exactly. Something these Ev geeks don't understand. There's more to it than just power.
Exactly
@@MarcYanOfficial ah yes , because all ICE cars look timeless...
@@MarcYanOfficial there's a SLS Electric tho.......
@@tonyfrancis6505 I wished they picked a blue instead of the green🥲
The sound of that SLS going through the gears when accelerating is unbelievable
Yeah reminds me of the GT2 RS that I saw a video going top speed on the Autobahn. Pounds through the gears. Beautiful.

@@milinddixit6583 how can you compare those 2. You are definitly not a car guy...
@@soap3398 Comparing the gear change, not the cars.
@@milinddixit6583 still weird to compare the best V8 merc has ever made with a turbo flat 6 from porsche

Looks wise the SLS is so much more exotic and expensive looking than the AMG GT
The AMG GT looks and feels much exotic than the SLS to be honest.
@@johndavidson3424 disagree. The proportions of the SLS are much more exotic. The AMG GT looks more like a traditional sports car.
@@Supcharged true, esp. the gull-wing doors. The AMG GT will always be the SLS‘ little brother - it just doesn’t reach the SLS‘ elegance and prestige.
That's cause it is. GT is much more of a balanced track machine than this
Just looks like any other merc imo
Rip off
That 6.2 V8 will forever be the golden era of AMG. Such a beautiful and classy design too 🔥
Love the 6.2L

@@AudiRS5B9 That just means you’re there with him
You forgot 7,3l amg engine?
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
BMW impressed me only for the fact that it gave such a good fight to SLS which had more power and lighter weight than Beemer. Nice drag indeed 👍
awd is such an advantage though. rwd is more fun and better for track
@@ilovesupercarslol that m3 in the race was rwd
And that merc is 10 years old🙄
@@katlehorasebitse7720 and cost 700k
Funny when people think a black series is for straight line. Let me key you in on something… ever heard of tracks? You think they add those additional aero parts for looks?
This SLS sounds sooooooooooooo great. It's been too long without hearing a car that sounds like this at car wow. Thanks Mat
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
That Black Series is a beauty and that engine is eargasm
Mat looks like he’s got a gull wing door on the back of his head. Unique hair style mate.
Bet he drove with the door open to get his hair like that. Maybe the SLS would have stopped quicker with Mat's head outside..lol
@@ruandreyer8732 would that of been a hair brake 🤪
100% 😂😂
Important aero bits to reduce drag while racing. 😂
Yes you are a sausage
That AMG V8 from the inside sounds sooooo sinister and beautiful at the same time, love it!!!
I have to say, super impressed of the BMW M3! 200kg heavier and 120hp less and holds up quite well to that MB monster!
💯
M3 has turbo charger, Merc is N/A
@@princewokoma1851 So ?? It still have less power
@@joaomachado101 chill MB is 7 years old
@@princewokoma1851 4 doors family sedan vs almost hyper car.
SLR and SLS are my all-time favourite Merces. SLR till today looks stunning! 😍😍😍
And the c 63 204 coupe
exactly! SLR has such a timeless design! but it's hated by a lot of people for some reason.
While the SLS looks and performs well, A W204 C63 still sounds better. (or Mat needs to up his sound game.)
Mercedes SLR one of my favourite cars
@Loe Chronicles yes yes. It's my favourite too! The CLK GTR 🙌🏻 Shmee150 was so lucky to be able to drive it 🥺
There should be a “long nose drag race” 😂
SLS or AMG GTR vs vette Z06 vs viper… or something like that
I completely agree .👍👍😂😂
Agree 100%!
How about a Rolls Royce then 😂
Don't forget some old v12 jag of some sort!
And Yanni
So what we’ve learned is that BMW straight 6 is an amazing engine
and paired with a pretty decent gearbox too.
A good launch control and a good transmission doesnt makes the engine “good”
@@detective9313 I stand corrected
I love that Mat is practically a professional not-optimal-conditions drag racer at this point. Mans can literally do better than launch control to take a car from good to great.
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
The SLS is absolutely stunning. Among the most beautiful cars Mercedes has produced.
It’s funny, because if you apply logic to the fact that it has huge intakes and strange shaped headlights, and yet it still looks good somehow
czcams.com/video/FZhAu6jBknU/video.html
CLK DTM is the most beautiful Mercdes made ( convertible)
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
@@nikobellic8284 Absolutely not.
It physically aches me how BEAUTIFUL the SLS is
same, it's got me bricked up
makes the modern mercedes exteriors look like cheap knockoffs
@@sirgeorgioalastrata4104 The newest generation of Mercedes cars look generic and boring... The last generation looked the best in my opinion
Results were predicted. But the elegance, the raw power, sound of exhaust and timelessness of the SLS were victorious.
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
I remember watching your SLS review quite some time back...you were clearly in love with it😂🔥🔥
Matt looks like he was delivered to the runway in his bed sleeping
Matt's fluffy hair + 50 bhp
He looks that way quite often....even more so today.
Surely not a midlife crisis? Most people just go out and buy a sports car.......oh......wait.......
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… out of every single car that’s been featured here on Carwow, the SLS BS is the car i desire to own. What an absolute machine.
LFA and E60 M5 are 100x better
@@Fiwek23452 No way is a E60 M5 better what are you smoking lmao
@@princekatana8792 e60 m5 has an F1 engine.. and if you can find one with a manual. Its even more beneficial. And bmws from this era has 10/10 steering feel that no other brand can't match😴
@@Fiwek23452 meh, its common af and not that special, its also a turtle compared to an SLS black series
@@Fiwek23452 For an m5 the E60 is special, but its not way better than the SLS Black
That sls is sex on wheels dude 😳
Also Matt's reaction to the breaking test was literally me like wtf?
Considering the price and size of the engine of the SLS the BMW held up really well.
Or the SLS held up very well despite no turbos :)
I can't take Matt seriously with his hair looking like a 7 year old dragged out of bed to go to school.
He’s a daddy now. Cut the man some slack 😉
You take him seriously? Haha
SLS such a timeless design🔥🔥
And gorgeous looking.
Can't stop thinking 6.2L NA V8.
Same with the AMG GT
@@Reignz only if GT had these doors, it would have been cherry on top
@@manjindersinghsaini911 I agree
yyesS
Crazy the strides BMW have made with their engines. A 3.0 biturbo almost as fast as a 6.2 V8 SLS? If only they spent some of their effort on design 😂
That's what happens when you compare new technology against old technology
Reaction after braking was fabulous mat
Imagine a drag race between SLS Black Series and the new AMG GT Black Series....would be lit. And for the fun of it....throw a few more black series models for an epic drag race battle. I know the new one would win...but it would be good to see evolution of black series
Ooo like the C63 Black and the SL65 Black
The GT would be gone in an instant.
And slr McLaren
SLR 722 vs SL 65 AMG Black Series. That would be an interesting one
I'm sure shmee would provide the two cars
For a normal M3 that car is seriously impressive. The CS is going to be epic.
You really believe a new turbo car has only its stock know hp?🤦🏼♂️
@@viccoschnakenburg2421 what do you mean by that we all know they have like 30 hp more
@@Nathan-qt2zi it’s been dynoed at around 550 hp
@@ethanandhiswrx6804 so 40 more
It's not a normal M3, it's the comp, the normal M3 is the manual one..
Great race.
Nice show
You guys literally make my day with these random drag races.... Miss yianni tho
I don't, he's a pratt
@@oaga71625e well then
Bring back yianni 😡😡
Bring back Yanni !!!!!!!
what happened to yanni being on this channel
Great races; it is so impressive how much that AMG gains at high speeds.
A clear power and weight advantage will do that, yes.
Not really... it's competing with "just" an M3
@@BengNinja yes but that M3 is much newer and comes with new technologies. You know newer Mercs are like that m3.
Especially being almost 10 years old it performs great. I would love to see it go up against the new black series just to see how much of a difference it would make.
@@amirsadi9540 not even close
Matt. Great line up! What would be even greater would be if you used your new hair style as a wheel brush and hooked up them M3 wheels! 😉👌
Best drag race for a long time.
Mat: It cost 700k, so I got to be careful.
Also mat: We need to warm up our tires!
Edit: Thx for the likes!
Our* :D funny comment haha
We need SLS vs SLR vs AMG GT-R!
To see how much things have improved over generations
One the most beautiful cars the SLS is, timeless. Absolutely stunning
Car so old yet still kills it on the looks spectrum 🤩 absolutely stunning
sls sounds so smooth from inside, just linear power
what a masterpiece
Ive sat in one once, the ride is sooooo good. That was a yellow sls black series
Matt, we are still waiting for the footrace!
Matt would win in a 100 meters sprint, but Yanni could win if it's a 1/4 mile race.
The SLS is one of my all time favorite cars. Along with the Viper and NSX.
Good Video
Damn transmission technology has moved on massively in the last 10 years.
Errrrr has it? There both single clutch autos. Bmw had better gearboxes 12 years ago in the E92.
@@grovsey3656 You sir are wrong, the BMW is a torque converter 8spd ZF.
The original commenter is correct. Transmissions have come very far.
@@grovsey3656 sls has a DCT.
@@jaybomb5022 exactly. The bmw isn't DCT. Bmw had DCTs 10 years ago so his comment is bollocks.
Launch control systems have also made big improvements, as have torque converters. Unfortunately, the SLS didn't have a particularly good DCT even for the time.
Straight 6 beamers giving the black series v8 a proper run. That m3 solid af
Yea not bad for a ten years newer car. And it will do it with seating 4 more people in it.
Yeah, twin turbo inline 6 vs NA V8. Turbos are the future. But there’s nothing like the feel or response of a NA engine.
@@lopez1102 4000 lb four seater sedan though. Not bad.
There is about a 10 year difference between the sls and the m3. If anything the sls is the one that is surprising
@@LaidBackDeveloper haha exactly. But everybody knows BMW has the most pathetic teenage fanboys. Audi has them. Mercedes-Benz has them, but BMW is absolutely terrible those fanboys. Blegh.
Awesome video!😸
We need a race between a M3 XDrive and a 911 4s🔥
Love the “just woke up” hairstyle Matt
Weekend vibes with Carwow are always awesome. Hope you guys can get that 1of1 2022 RS6 Mansory/MTM that I just had for a shoot. Would be awesome in a dragrace. Cheers
Yea screw your audi

@@ode1854 At least their cars look better than bmw these days, and they also sound better.
what a great start to saturday
Matt is just in love with his m3 competition
I'd take SLS Black Series anyday
all day everyday
No doubt
Hell yes !
Duh
I agree 👍
The SLS might have had cold brakes. Since it has carbon ceramics they need to have a certain temp to function properly
Yeah, I think they over-looked this.
The M3 can have ceramic too, however I’m not sure if they are spec’d on Matt’s M3.
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
I like how Mat has upped the speed to 100mph from 70mph on the brake test
I didn't expect this
Those m3’s are absolutely rapid
Downpipes and E50 and it smokes the merc.
@@TeacherToolkitDemo it already beat the Mercedes in most category’s Mercedes only started pulling at the top end well over the speed limit
@@freddiejones4598 remember the amg is 7 years old. Don’t know about the tires but the gearbox is slower and the engine will not have 631 ho anymore. The bmw will have more than 510 due to it being a turbo engine
@@freddiejones4598 mercedes won 2/3 of the drag race and won 2/2 of the rolling race. So, does the m3 really beat a 2013 sportscar? Loll weakk
@@Nabilllllll yeah it got beaten by a car with 120hp more and 200kg lighter
Year of the car doesnt matter whene it has such a power and weight difference,it like putting a Bugatti Veyron from 2007 against a C63s and say omg it lost to a older car
The SLS BlackSeries looks so damn good and it's fast too. Damn. I Love It.
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
After all these years the performance and the look of this SLS is bussin
Might be one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Definitely one of the most beautiful Mercs every made for sure.
Love that white w/ the black contrast.
Matt, your videos are literally something I look forward to everyday since recovering from a pretty significant surgery so thank you for the laughs, the content, the cool cars. And congrats on the baby girl I'm sure you and your lady friend know the huge gift you have.
Awe good luck with recovery mate. I know how you feel after a similar experience
Hope you have a speedy recovery.
Recover well my friend :)
Stay strong and blessed
Amazing 🤩
Two of my favorite cars in one video.
The SLS is so fast that it made Matt's hair stand on its end!
Carwow perfectly simulates meeting and racing an interesting vehicle at the intersection
Only they do it legally, not on a public road where there are other people to consider
Sounds SO good
Can you do more SLS amg Black series drag race videos with other cars?
Sls black is still my favourite car ever , sounds amazing, lovely engine and stunning looks
Imaging weight and less hp from m3, such good results tho.. respect to bmw
İmagine a z4 with a M3 engine in it
@@Ibrahim.K03 with awd? 🤩
Would like to see that engine in a Supra MK5 with a manual transmission sold to the public.
Aye shut up man. That black series is 13 years old still smokes the m3
@@parthcodm1155 you compare apple with pear.
That sound 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like when Matt just wants to show evreyone that he likes mercedes by putting a M3 against a SLS Black.Next clip:BMW Isseta vs AMG Project 1
the sls bs is my favorit car of all time its so insainly cool
Mercedes: "we have supercars"
Audi: "we use Lambo engines"
BMW: "I can just about see them in the rear view mirror of my family car"
AMG to BMW family cars, we have a Nurburgring record, and a hyper car on its way, any news on your end ?
10 years difference?
Really? When last did a BMW engine win a Grand Prix, Le Man, WRC or DTM? BMW doesn't even enter these races, too afraid to show how uncompetitive a BMW is on racetrack. Even a Honda will kick it's ass.
@@norman4628 btw honda better than Mercedes
@@norman4628 would this race be more fair if the used an M5 CS? the m3 held its own and has nothing to look down on because its not even in the same "class" as the this Merc
Request AMG GT black series vs M5 CS id love to see tht race
Nice cars, good to see the SLS again.
Anyway, the 50mph comfort mode reaction test is too long. Surely the point is how sharply cars will pick up with no warning. Yet you allow ages afterwards for a 'raw power' car to claw back an initial deficit.
czcams.com/video/nDkpHS5r-_I/video.html
BMW M3 Competition Everyday. 🔥
Amazing ❤️❤️🔥
That SLS is gorgeous, love the way it looks 😍
You should include the 60-130 mph/100-200 kmh times and 1/4 mile 1/2 mile trap speeds in the videos would be great.

Oh my days that SLS is gorgeous. Can't stop pausing to take it in
I had the opportunity to race a SLS in my 2018 BMW M4 Competition pushing 500HP, though mine was slightly slower I was surprised to be able to keep up and literally be behind him, these new M3/M4's are no joke with the right tuning
Matt , I would love a drag race between Chiron and “The GT-R” ( the one that was against 1100hp McLaren and 1200hp R8)
The GOAT can't be beaten, but the M3 did surprisingly well, especially with its price tag! Love to see more GOATS vs Everyday modern car drag race vids!
May I suggest using the "specialist timing gear" to evalute the stopping distances a "bit" more scientifically. Please and thank you.
It’s an entertaining CZcams show, not a calibrated testing facility. Just let them wing it for the laughs.
he's reviewed the SLS black and tested it with the specialist timing gear, go watch that video
NO
Great race as usual and your m3 still looks epic in that green but surely some of the camera lads could have warned you about the just out of bed hair look! or maybe just a lot of static electricity off the sls roof lining.
Love your hair this Vid Mat :D STyllllish
That brake test reaction was very funny. Took Matt some time to get a grip of what happened 😂😂
Took the tires a bit as well
Half the displacement and way heavier but still holding it‘s own against a pure bread race car for the street, the new M3 is amazing. But that SLS is a legend. Great video !
But 2x turbos.
@@martinsvensson6884 mainly for efficiency. Can be tuned for power, as the 1xxx hp S55‘s prove
