2009 | Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series

A marvel of German automotive engineering, this limited production 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series stands out from the crowd. The V12's already impressive output is aided by a RENNtech R3 Performance Package, now making over 800 horsepower. This Black Series' well-kept condition and low mileage present a thrilling addition to any collection.    

The AMG Black Series gave credence to the notion that Mercedes-Benz' now in-house subsidiary still punched above its weight. When applied to 2007's CLK63, the treatment built from a pre-merger spirit rooted in displacement and over-the-top ethos from hardware to styling. Soon after, the manufacturer's twin-turbocharged V12 flagship SL65 went under the knife. Gained chiefly through forced induction, the SL65 set sail well above convention with 661 horsepower and torque rated at 738 pound-feet. The super-coupe's power was managed by an AMG-tuned SpeedShift automatic transmission with selectable manual shifting rev-matched through all five speeds. Chassis tuning inclusive of power-adjustable suspension, AMG brakes, and four inches of track width provided sure-footedness in swathes.

 

Despite no lack of fine-tuned brute force on tap, little compromise was made to cabin comforts and power accessories featured heavily inside and out. COMAND cockpit management and data system providing ample connectivity when new and a collapsible compact spare tire with portable electric air compressor came standard. Worldwide production of 350 units and US deliveries totaling a mere 175 examples, made the SL65's dark side a high-point in supercars of the early millennium.   

Finished in Black (040) over Black AMG Exclusive leather interior, this 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series is nothing short of to the point. Dark finishes exaggerate brash model-specific carbon fiber bodywork complete with active rear wing and diffuser. Between staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, interior leather trappings extend to 12-way power heated & ventilated AMG sport seats, power 4-way steering wheel and luxuries including Airscarf neck-level heating. Carbon fiber trim plus AMG instrument cluster with racetimer and gear position displays raise the Black Series' urgency over standard SL-cabin appointments. These differentiators and AMG trim throughout hint at the capability of enhanced suspension, braking, and engine management connecting this Mercedes' unprecedented power to the road. Fitted during current ownership with a RENNtech R3 Performance Package, output is further pushed to a claimed 810 horsepower and 1000 pound-feet of torque according to the aftermarket equipment manufacturer.
