Completing the trio we’ve seen throughout the day, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series is the last car being shown off today by the AMG Performance Studio. The new SL 65 AMG Black Series was a tough job for the AMG Performance Studio who worked on the new body design with large air inlets, wide mudguards and features such as the extendable spoiler. A large number of components were made from lightweight carbon-fiber knocking off 550 lbs when comparing it to its sibling, the SL 65 AMG.

Even the chassis of the new 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series received a completely new design to work with the rear axle limited slip differential and the 3-level ESP. AMG Performance Studio topped off the SL 65 AMG Black Series with 19 or 20-inch Dunlop sports tires, an AMG high-performance brake system and an all-black interior featuring nappa leather, alcantara and carbon fiber trims.

Other than that we already know that power comes from a 6.0L V12 biturbo engine making 670-hp with a maximum torque of 738 lb-ft. Mated to a SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 5-speed automatic gearbox, the SL 65 AMG Black Series goes from 0 to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 199 mph. The transmission also allows four different drive programs and a double clutch function.

Ouch. Too much.

 

I love the car but at 400k I mean really that's insane. I would much rather have an lp640 or CGT or scud I mean Jesus...

 

I love the car, but not THAT much. I agree with TTM0TION.

 

$310,918 too much.

 

I agree, hot car but too pricey.

 

It will be priced around mid $200K to $300K.

 

I'd get a Scud and a CLK Black for that $$.

 

that's like putting a body kit and bigger turbo's on a 997 turbo and asking 600K for it. who in their right mind would buy it? i'm with chris from cali on this one. except I'd rather have an DBS and an S8.

 

Its just the exchange rate, not the actual US pricing of the car.
The SL550 costs $95,000 in USA, but in England costs roughly the same in British pounds. With the current exchange rate, that amounts to about $145K US
