Mercedes-Benz SL65
After cycles of spy shots and speculation, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series is ultimately out in the open. And amongst a $320,000 cost tag, a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 and easily 200 houses on this way to the U.S., it is a considerable stopgap between the deceased SLR and Mercedes’ 2011 SLC gullwing supercar.
Mercedes’ in-house tuners applied the tried and real philosophy to the SL65 AMG Black Series, originating among a carbon fiber hood, fenders and trunk, along among nixing the retractable hard top in favor of a set carbon fiber roof among an integrated roll cage. As such, the Black is 550 pounds lighter as opposed to the inventory SL65, arriving in at 4,122 pounds.
Seven vents – 3 in the bumper, two on the hood and two in the fenders – feed copious ranges of air to the 6.0-liter V12, fitted investing in a duo of upgraded turbochargers. Power is up to 661 hp out there at 5,400 rpm, additonally torque is currently the same at 738 lb.-ft. With a five-speed automatic gearbox equipped in on AMG’s speedshift software, the Black can hit 60 mph in 3.9 moments on its way to a gearing-limited top promptness of 199 mph.
Expect the SL65 AMG Black Series to debut in Paris, in on sells commencing in the U.S. the beginning of upcoming year.
