Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series with 661bhp

The evil-twin of the recently facelifted Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG has a name: The Black Series.

The most menacing SL to exit AMG’s factory comes with a breathtaking £220,000 price tag and a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine pumping out 661bhp at 5,400 rpm and 738 lb.-ft of torque.

	But that’s not all as the SL65 AMG Black Series features carbon fibre bonnet, wings and boot lid, along with a fixed carbon fibre roof with an integrated roll cage that replaces the retractable hard top.

As a result, the Black Series weighs in at just 1,869 kg or 250kg less than the stock SL65.

	AMG also supped up the appearance of the Black Series with an aerodynamic wide bodykit that features seven air ducts -

Three in the bumper, two on the bonnet and two in the wings to cool off the massive twin-turbocharged V12 engine.

		According to preliminary figures, the Black Series can go from zero to 60 mph in 3.9 sec while top speed is limited to 199 mph.

FTL Think: Merc have gone bonkers and been at the crack pipe again, but it seems to have been to good effect and the Black Series is on hell of a great looking car...
