To follow-up an earlier post on the forthcoming release of the Mercedes SLS AMG, Mercedes and Formula 1 have announced that the SLS AMG will become the new pace car at Formula 1 races. Apart from the lights and decals, the only changes made to the standard SLS are carbon-fiber mirrors and a noisier exhaust.

AMG cars have served as the official Formula 1 pace cars for the last 13 seasons. A C63 AMG Estate will once again serve as the medical car at races, as well.
