Auto Car | Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series | The Mercedes-Benz AMG division has been building serious German sports cars, fast and agile enough to run with anything in the world for several years now, but the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series is unlike anything ever to come from the German luxury mark.
AMG cars, similar to BMW's M-Series and Audi's S and RS lines, take already outstanding German luxury sports cars, beef up the engine and fine tune the handling, slap on some fancier leather and raise the price by tens of thousands of dollars.
Mercedes-Benz has realised, though, that for some discerning--read: way too rich--buyers a "regular" AMG Mercedes sports car is not enough. For these trendsetters and newsmakers, Mercedes has begun to release ultra-exclusive AMG Black sports cars, which take the AMG treatment Mercedes now gives nearly every model in its range and turn it up to 11.
The Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series, with its top speed of 199 mph (electronically limited, AMG reminds us), is now the top performing Benz south of the ridiculous SLR McLaren. The beefed up SL 65 styling, though, may be preferable to some, with its wide body kit, tasteful high-speed deploying rear spoiler and huge rear end, ready to make Autobahn drivers cry.
Power comes by way of a sweet 6.0 liter 12 cylinder motor, and there is plenty on tap. Even an Audi R8 looks positively anemic when compared with the SL 65 AMG Black, leaving Mercedes-Benz' German rivals with some catching up to do in the ultra sports car segment. No base price is listed, but bet the SL 65 AMG Black will run for north of $200,000 when it is available through special order soon.
Sensational appearance, unique performance data, with light-weight design throughout and total exclusivity - that's the new Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series. This high-performance coupé is a motorsport engineering thoroughbred, opening up new drive dynamic vistas to sports car enthusiasts. The AMG 6.0 litre V12 biturbo engine, with a maximum output of 670 hp and 1000 Nm of torque, guarantees super sports car level performance. The powerful two-seater was developed in the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO and represents the continuation of the highly successful Black Series strategy pursued by AMG, the Mercedes-Benz Cars Performance brand.
Broad, muscular and ready to pounce - that's the new Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series. Even when stationary, the coupé'ssuperlative dynamism can arouse great passions. The strikingly broad mudguards, the retractable rear spoiler and the rear apron with diffuser fins point unmistakably to its motorsport origins, part of the Mercedes-AMG corporate philosophy for more than 40 years. One glance at the new SL 65 AMG Black Series and you are reminded of the successful AMG racing sports cars like the present DTM C-Class or the 1997 CLK-GTR from the FIA-GT series.
Wide cooling air apertures in the front apron and the bonnet are the clearest indication of the massive power of this AMG twelve-cylinder, biturbocharged engine. From its 5980 cubic capacity, the AMG V12's engine generates a maximum power of 670 hp at 5400 rpm and an electronically limited torque of 1000 Nm between 2200 and 4200 rpm. Without a limiter, the AMG 6.0 litre V12 biturbo engine, which is hand-built in the AMG engine factory in accordance with the "one man - one engine" philosophy, would achieve a maximum torque of 1200 Nm. Compared with the basis power pack in the 612 hp SL 65 AMG, new turbochargers were developed for the 12-cylinder SL 65 AMG Black Series engine.
The turbochargers' spiral cross-section, now 12 per cent larger, and the optimised wastegate ducts permit increased air throughput and an even more impressive display of power in all engine speed ranges. The modified intake air ducting results in an even more spontaneous response. The new design for the AMG sports exhaust gas system's rear silencers reduce the exhaust gas backpressure and help increase the power output. The acoustic side effect of this is to produce a distinctive 12-cylinder sound, typically evocative of AMG engine tuning, from the two trapezoidal tail pipes. The low-temperature charge air cooler, now 30 per cent more powerful, and the optimised water cooling system guarantee not only that the power generated under extreme dynamic driving conditions is exploited to the maximum but also the greatest possible fatigue strength at high outside temperatures.
