Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series
Thursday, July 10, 2008 5:42 PM

This will cost a cool $320,000 and will hit 60 mph in less than 3.9 seconds. Just 200 will come to the United States. Carbon fiber is used for the hood, fenders, roof and trunk. The 4122-pound SL65 AMG Black Series undercuts the SL65 AMG by an impressive 550 pounds. The exterior has been reworked with emphasis on cooling air reaching the mighty engine. There are seven ducts up front: three in the bumper, two atop the hood and two more in the fenders. There is no folding roof. It is replaced by a fixed one that blends with the rest of the body and incorporates an integral roll cage.
The twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 has larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooler and revised exhaust with less back pressure. The three-valve-per-cylinder engine’s output has increased 57 hp, to 661 hp at 5400 rpm. Torque remains at 738 lb-ft. The engine is mated to a beefed-up version of Mercedes’ five-speed automatic transmission, featuring the latest evolution of AMG’s Speedshift software.
Top speed is limited to 199 mph, although the new car is geared to hit 220 mph at the engine’s 6200-rpm cut-out in fifth gear. I dunno but I've driven the "regular" SL65 and was the only car I got it to 189mph in a short distance, it was nothing short of ferocious, I can't imagine how this beast will be. Seriously Mercedes SLR is NOT needed.

I saw that episode, it was the CLK63 AMG Black series. And yes, it is one nice Benz. Very DTM.
