The fine people over at
AutomotiveTv recently uploaded this video of the all new
Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG Black Series for our enjoyment. I feel like I need to send them a fruit basket, a card, or hell even a couple strippers for this amazing video! Last year the German automaker brought us the
CLK 63 AMG Black Series for us to drool over and now they've raised the bar even further.
With 661 HP and 738 lb-ft of torque, this twin-turbo V12 produces even more power than the
SLR McLaren 722 Edition. With 350 total cars to be produced, 200 are scheduled to arrive stateside and I can't wait till they do!
The team out of Stuttgart put the
SL65 on a diet by opting for a fixed roof and leaving the hard-top convertible for it's slower siblings. With the body of this Mercedes consisting primarily of carbon fiber this AMG tips the scale 551 pounds lighter than the standard
SL65 giving it an advantage in the 0-60 as well as at the gas pump. With the price tag set to be in the neighborhood of $320,000 (higher than the median home price in the US) I'm glad that I live in LA because I might just see one rolling around very soon!
