Mercedes-Benz's gullwinged supercar is now available in the Assetto Corsa Early Access beta, courtesy of developer Kunos's latest update for the title.

Accompanying the SLS AMG content-wise in the update are an all-new track for the PC racing sim – the shortened 'Sprint' version of the Nurburgring GP circuit – along with a new intro video in the form of the SLS AMG trailer embedded below.

The '0.22' build also brought an array of improvements to the still-in-development sim racer, ranging from new tyre simulation models and revised force feedback to updates to the AI programming.
