So how do you price this car then?

If a loaded SL63 is around 150K and a loaded SL65 is 200K.

Carbon body, fixed carbon roof, redesigned bodywork, more HP, new trans, hydraulic brakes, new suspension..... and 350 total units world wide.

If it is in the 275 to 300K range, I think it is about right. They could probably charge 250K for it but they would need to build 1000 of them.

I don't think this will be a 400K car. Not a chance.....

ya it can't cost that much. many times cars cost more there in euros than they do here in USD. Check out how much any regular BMW or Mercedes cost in Germany

It's worth whatever someone would pay for it...

It is very bespoke compared to a hopped-up SL63 or SL65. All the CF bodywork, interior, suspension, engine, etc. - more than "just" a tuner job. I like it but there are a lot of supercars I'd buy before it. FWIW, I'd rather have the SL65 Black than a 599. The new Ferraris are slipping...

Love the car, but that is just way to much. I agree with you chris I would take the black series over the 599 in a heart beat.
