Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series



This is the most powerful Black Series car ever built. OK, so just two AMG Blacks were built before it, but weighing in at 670bhp and 737lb ft of torque, it is a genuine heavyweight.

Seconds out, round three...


AMG replaced the 6.0-litre V12's turbochargers with specially developed blowers incorporating a new spiral cross-section (12 per cent bigger), fitted a modified air intake duct and, of course, an AMG sports exhaust said to "produce a distinctive 12-cylinder sound" (read: LOUD). And while you're making that noise, it also covers ground in a dandy fashion: 0-62mph takes 3.9 seconds and it's limited (limited) to a top speed of 199mph.

The roof is made of CFRP with an integral rollover bar (binning the SL's drop-top), there's a CFRP spoiler, twin-spoke AMG 19in wheels and 390mm front discs (360mm rears). The engineers fitted adjustable coil spring suspension (allowing for driver adjustments) sitting on a track 97mm wider at the front and 85mm wider at the rear. They even fitted a limited slip diff as standard and a five-speed automatic gearbox with four transmission mode

Clearly, 360bhp in an SLK was never enough. And this brings up an unwritten but patently obvious AMG philosophy; more is never enough. The engineers beefed up the ‘standard' SLK55 AMG's 5.5-litre V8 by modifying the air intake, adding an AMG sports air filter and a full, specially developed AMG sports exhaust system. 
These tweaks boosted power from 360bhp to 400bhp, and torque from 376lb ft to 384lb ft, fed through a seven-speed transmission with manual drive controlled by, naturally, steering-wheel mounted aluminium shift paddles. 0-62mph was dealt with in 4.5 seconds (down from 4.9 seconds), 0-125mph was two seconds up on the standard AMG at 15.5 seconds, and the limiter was removed for a 173mph top speed.





AMG fitted height-adjustable torsion suspension optimised for the race-track - including adjustable dampers - together with 19in lightweight forged alloy wheels, a strut brace across the engine bay and 360mm front brakes. A limited slip diff was also offered as an option. 




The front wings were even more muscular and made from carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, and AMG also fitted a restyled front apron together with larger air intakes and side air outlets to ensure sufficient cooling for that V8. Toasty. Inside there were two AMG bucket seats (sans airbags), silver AMG logos and a carbon-fibre door panels.
