Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series

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!

The Million Dollar Baby

Brought to you by: 118952.

This video was shot live from the 2007 Las Vegas SEMA convention. You might want to watch this, if for no other reason than you've probably never seen anything like it! A Mercedes SL600, and we are talking the entire car, is covered in German crystals. Get out the polarized glasses if this car ever sees daylight! And, not only is the outside of the car decorated down to the exhaust and rims, but the inside is accented in white fur. Wonder if Paul Dalton (the British car wash specialist) will be consulted should they ever want to take the crystals off the SL600?

Here are a few facts about what lies beneath the crystals. The SL600 is available as a V12. It is derived from the SL series which has different engine choices. The current base price of the SL600 is $134,025 and the SL550 is $96,125. The 6th generation car currently does not have a release date. It’s coming out as a 2009 model but only a few spy shots have been revealed. An official production date currently does not exist.

Video: Mercedes E55 vs Porsche 997 Turbo

Well being a fellow Mercedes E Class owner it was a good feeling to watch this E55 hang with the 997 Turbo. The 996... I mean 997 Turbo comes from the factory with 480HP and does a 0-60 in 3.7 seconds while the Merc comes equipped with 469HP and a 0-60 in about 4.3 seconds. There is something to be said about a sedan with a curb weight of around 4200 lbs that can run alongside a 997 Turbo. So when you're out looking for your next family car, consider the E55.
