2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series Coupe

The SL 65 AMG Black Series was the third Black Series model developed by the AMG Performance Studio. 350 examples were built worldwide, with 175 of those designated for the United States. This particular U.S.-delivered automobile was ordered new in Tenorite Gray Metallic, and fitted with the unique carbon fiber composite body panels of the Black Series, along with a peed-sensitive carbon-fiber rear spoiler and a rear diffuser. There are flared fenders, a rear apron with diffuser fins, and a retractable rear spoiler. The retractable hardtop of the stock SL 65 was replaced with a lightweight, fixed bonded roof with an integrated roll bar.

The hand-built AMG 6.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V12 engine produced 670 horsepower and a remarkable 738 foot-pounds of torque. It had an AMG sports exhaust, optimized airflow tubing, and a paddle-shifted AMG Speed-shift Plus five-speed automatic transmission. The upgraded brakes had larger diameter slotted and drilled rotors with AMG-branded six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers. The AMG twin-spoke forged alloy wheels measured 19 inches at the front and 20 inches at the rear.

The interior is trimmed in AMG Exclusive Nappa leather with Alcantara and carbon fiber trim. There is contrast stitching on the power-adjustable multi-contour sport seats, along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. In front of the driver are a smaller diameter flat-bottom leather-wrapped steering wheel, carbon fiber and leather-wrapped gear selector, dual-zone automatic climate control, COMAND infotainment with navigation, Keyless-Go, and a Harman Kardon LOGIC7 sound system with an in-dash six-disc CD changer with satellite radio connectivity.

This 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series has 7,624 miles on its odometer.
