SL65 AMG getting delivered

montreal red · 12-31-2009, 02:51 AM

came across a few pictures of an SL65 AMG being delivered... a few things that caught my attention :
1) In addition to the CF bodywork, there are CF brake cooling ducts.
2) Swaybars are manufactured by H&R.
3) There are dual differential coolers.
4) Exhaust is by Eisenmann.
5) Wheels are made in Italy.
6) cant tell in the pics but suspension is by KW.

I sat in one of these in the ny auto show i almost creamed my pants

Pretty sure that's a black series, which are just pure insanity.

gonzo · 12-31-2009, 06:12 AM

There is that cheap looking center piece again.

I know a guy here in Dallas who has a pearl white one with 2K miles on it for sale if any one is looking.

Oh. He needs 250K for it.

Sitting in one wouldn't do it for me, driving it would!

MJC///M3 · 12-31-2009, 09:15 AM

interior looks quite cheap IMO...

outside is just gorgeous!

hiimwayne · 12-31-2009, 10:33 AM

Sick. With that engine sounding like a refined muscle car and that Eisenman sounding f1 awesome combination

Scorpion · 12-31-2009, 10:42 AM

Nice, this is the only Merc I like.

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn · 12-31-2009, 10:44 AM

One thing I just can't get over is they do so much to an SL65 to make it a Black Series, yet they don't put carbon ceramic brakes on it...

Ender514 · 12-31-2009, 12:40 PM

its pretty nice looking although i still think the front is too much for my taste

anthony @ eas · 12-31-2009, 12:56 PM

Nice. What a crazy car.

TSM330i · 12-31-2009, 05:53 PM

Crazy looking car! Too heavy for my taste.

All that money and no CC Brakes.

Did anyone else notice that the exhaust tips are fake dual outlets?

1BMW4fun · 12-31-2009, 09:21 PM

wow, wheels made by APP, thats topline stuff.

and ton were bashing the is-f. i'm sure no one would say anything about this one.

interior is cheap looking for car of this caliber. rims are ugly. exterior is very aggresive.

b0bab0i · 01-01-2010, 02:02 PM

It's still an SL. Thats how all R230 interiors look and they MSRP around $100k+

domobrown · 01-01-2010, 02:06 PM

Weird how you guys call the interior cheap but magazines say it's luxurious as a Veyron. I'd have to see one up close to find out, but I think that's a bad angle. Also quite odd that there are no carbon ceramic rotors, but those steel ones look like they can do the job just fine

er the IS-F tips are completely fake. meaning its not even connected to the mufflers...

these are fake in the sense that its actually a single tip that splits into 2 on both sides... its not really a fake tip like the is-f

Quisp · 01-01-2010, 08:10 PM

I must have one!!!
There are a lot of little buttons around that display in the center. I would probably need a training class to use the display or have an accident trying to push the right button.
Saw one on the road in Scottsdale and the sound it made was unlike anything I have heard. A rumble deeper than a muscle car and much more pleasing to the ears, polished and refined yet so badasss!

PLAY · 01-01-2010, 08:29 PM

It's unfortunate. A car like that features parts from H&R and an Esienman exhaust? Terrible.
$250K for that kinda car, I would rather get my Porsche 997TT.2 first.

Whats wrong with the parts from those manufactures? They make great quality parts and they are in the racing industries.
