Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series Pics (15 Photos)
Mercedes Benz has finally revealed the new 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series. This new Mercedes will be their most powerful production car ever. With the double-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 under the hood, power output is 661 HP and 738 ft-lb torque!!!. Priced in the range of $320,000, the SL65 AMG Black Series is an indirect replacement for the McLaren SLR coupe. So don’t expect to find one easily.
Expect a limited run of 350 over a 12-month period. However 200 of them are slotted to hit U.S. so there’s at least a good chance of seeing one of these amazing yet beautiful monsters!
Based on the recently face-lifted SL65 AMG, the new car receives upgrades that provide it with an aggressive new look but, (via a whole lot of carbon fiber) an impressive 551-pound reduction in weight at 4,123 pounds. Among some of the more significant changes are a fixed roof structure in place of the folding aluminum hardtop on the standard model and a retractable rear spoiler (Porsche Carrera GT Style) has also been added to improve downforce.
Their new masterpiece is a tuned version of the already amazing SL65 AMG’s twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12. It receives larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooler and modified exhausts to boost output by 57 hp to 670 hp. Torque remains at 737 ft-lb, a figure Mercedes-Benz says is limited from a theoretical peak of 885 lb-ft in a bid to safeguard the car’s five-speed automatic transmission and other driveline components.
Mercedes-Benz claims the SL65 AMG Black Series will rip from ZERO to 60 mph in “less than 3.9 seconds” and reach a top speed limited to 199 mph.
