I visit ‪@DKEngineeringTV‬ to get behind the wheel of a car I've always wanted to experience... the Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG Black Series!
Only 350 cars were made and it produced around 660hp and 1,000nm of torque from it's twin turbo V12... in 2009! Insane figures.

The cars of this era will always have a special place in my heart, especially this one, the LFA and the 458. It seems like a lifetime ago in memories, but when they were new, I was splitting time between in-house security for a high end hotel and as a PPO for corporate clientele. I had several eccentric gentleman with eclectic tastes in automobiles whom I worked for that allowed me to live out brief fantasies in their cars at their behest, even if it was a short jaunt to the airport or around the block from the parking garage. In the truest sense of the phrase, "They don't make 'em like they used to!"

This car is amazing! This video reminds me of last summer, when my dad and i went to germany to collect his SL65 AMG (non black series). The guy he bought it off asked if we had time to see another car he had in a garage a few kilometers away. It turned out it was a SL65 Black series. What a car!

@LawrenceMarkFearon Год назад

An SL65 Black Series on Michelin Cup2's in the rain is almost insane. The fact that you were able to control it easily speaks to your restraint and respect as well as the virtuoso engineering of the tires which as you know are track focused but road friendly. Put the same tires on an SL65 Roadster and acceleration and handling are tremendously improved over the original PZero's of 2009. The correct select upgrades are almost like a built in cheat code.

@michae8jackson378 Год назад

OH LORD YES! This era of Merc is my second favorite after W124 E500 / W140 S600 / W 202 AMG legendary lineup, but I put the pinnacle of AMG 6.3 e.g. CLS w218 / C w204 / S W221 AMG 6.3 and of course the SL65 almost on the same shelf. Mercedes, please, please, please, it is not too late to turn back. THIS is why we loved you and not the Jetson mobiles.

To quote an old song "Those were the days". I miss special editions with fun engines of even household cars like a Xantia, Vectra, or - my personal favourites; the Type43 Audi 100/200 5E and 5T, with their wonderful five cylinder engines. Now we're expected to look into a future where we buy appliances instead of cars, and that SUCKS! I've never lusted after the SL65, but i love the absolutely bonkers look of it, and the simple fact that it exists. Such a shame the weather we have in these parts of the world fucked you over Sam. Would have loved seeing you actually experience that engine.

I had a 2005 SL 500. It was my favorite car BUT. That era of Mercedes had an ABS system that is wonderful when it works but a nightmare when it fails. Each shock is 2k, the pump is 2k, it operates on 2000 psi, so if it has a leak it's out of fluid in a few seconds almost certainly dooming the pump which operates off a pulley on the engine... Way over engineered. Oh and that power top is like 30 consecutive miracles.
