sl65 black series reveal








It's 6:15 on Friday, so this will be short - but there will be more chaos and madness over the weekend (surely!?).

Late yesterday, Mercedes-Benz' AMG division revealed its long-awaited SL65 Black Series. The new coupe, roughly 500 lbs. lighter than its convertible R230 siblings, adds new turbos and software to the familiar 5.5 bi-turbo V12 to produce 661 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque ...

... while this may be enough to put the jitters into a stock SLR McLaren (no doubt "benchmarked" by all involved at AMG) it's still a bit shy of a PKG2 RENNTECH SLR.

Just sayin'
