The world of the super gave car back to 2008. While pursuing a Mercedes SL Ferrari with its new coupe cabriolet, Mercedes hardtop got rid of a carbon fiber roof to create a SL65 AMG Black Series: a murderer from the Nürburgring which is more powerful and 54 thousand dollars more expensive than the Ferrari more expensive.
The biturbo V12 Black Series produces 670 hp, reaches 100 km / hr in 3.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 320 km / hr. Only 350 will be assembled at the headquarters of AMG Affalterbach, so you better quickly gather the $ 450 000 of its list price. FIRST THE CONTEXT
is the day before the press briefing Auto Show Geneva, March 2008. She sits at the dinner Friedrich Eichler, before Porsche, now head of AMG engines and transmissions. All listening end of the presentation of the president of AMG, Voker Mornhinweg, with a long speech focused on its environmental responsibility for the future.
But there is something in this monologue, a counter-challenge, and we should not blindly give in to this strange spirit environmentalist.
The British government has just increased 720 USD tax on cars that emit more CO2 225g/Km. What
Eichler think of that? The friendly German hit his fist against the table. "They kill our business," he says angrily. "It just a way to tax the rich. " Is the Mercedes SL65 is the top of the performance of AMG? "At the moment we are at the top," he confirms. "But there is more to the production line."
The SL65 AMG Black Series is that in the production line. Imagine it is A MG leave with a bang before your adrenaline is activated with light technology and dynamic place of finer increasingly ridiculous numbers of Hp. The flaps, trunk and hood are extravagant handmade carbon fiber. The roof is also made of black fabric, but as his brother SLK Black Series, The hardtop convertible is history, replaced with a harder, less bulky and complemented with a roll bar, even looks different now falls back glass in a low angle to the trunk lid.
Along with an interior "de knot" (still covered with luxurious Nappa leather, Alcantara and carbon fiber) and lightweight seats. The SL65 Black Series 226 kg fell, reaching the scales with a big weight of 1870 kg.
It looks fantastic, like a DTM car loose on the streets. That is mainly thanks to the huge fenders. You better gauge your garage, these expanses of the body make the Black Series 133mm wider than before ... About the size of a bat.
9mm adjustable suspension is also lower, while the front spoiler ro and rear diffuser will make it a little more difficult to accommodate in the parking lot. Although it has never been labeled as the regular SL65 short of breath is an extraordinary machine, a six-liter V12 biturbo engine with 604 horsepower at your disposal and an enormous torque of 737 lb / ft. But for some not enough, especially the millionaire playboys run along the Black Series. So the power increases to 670 hp thanks to improved air flow with the engine, turbos larger than do justice to the additional flow, and more freedom to escape breathing.
There is a much larger intercooler and with less pressure loss in the input and output of the engine, improving the response. The turbos are also stronger, the blades using a special steel casting that is much more durable. It is an expensive process and low volume. Large Mercedes
are handled well and the regular SL is no exception. But e l Black Series tilts the balance toward killing more circuits due to minor imperfections overshadowing hell. The front axle is 97mm wider and the rear 85. Dunlop tires are huge 265/35R19 front, the rear a stunning 325/30R20; substantial ceramic brakes fit behind them. The suspension
n, also taking time to handmade gives life to the Gran Turismo allowing compression and rebound, ride height, tilt wheel and tilt adjustable to taste.
has heard a lot of smart seven-speed transmission that you just put the SL63, a smooth-shifting unit replacing a torque converter slushy.
So it's a bit disappointing that the Black Series is the converter tor that five-speed automatic that is already in the SL65. It promises to be spectacular and massive areas of tiebreakers at Paul Ricard should minimize any incident expensive.
Got $ 450,000 burning you portfolio? You better do the tank quickly.
