The Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series (R230) is a limited-production performance version of the 2008-2011 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG.

Description

The Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series utilizes a 6.0L (5,980 cc) twin-turbo V12, named the M275 AMG. The turbochargers are 12% larger over the regular SL 65 AMG, and the optimized wastegate ducts allow more air to be let in. The intake air ducts and exhaust system have been altered to improve response and reduce the exhaust gas backpressure. The Black Series is 550 lb (249 kg) lighter than regular SL 65 AMG by the use of light carbon fiber composites (CFRP) parts and the omission of the SL's normal foldable hardtop roof, replacing it with a fixed roof, which thus allowed for a retractable rear wing.

A revised version of the SL 65 AMG Black Series's M275 AMG V12 engine, renamed the M158, was later used in the Pagani Huayra and Pagani Huayra BC.

Usage

The Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series's performance is mediocre for its class. Acceleration and handling are weak and its nitro durations are short. Top speed is the SL 65's only strength as it is superior to several similarly ranked cars.

The Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series can be described as a heavily downgraded version of the Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Special Edition, which has similar overall performance but is extremely biased towards top speed at the expense of everything else.

The Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series counts towards the German Steel, Heavyweights and Mercedes collections. A total of 13 Tuning Kits, 9 Nitro Starters and  1,250,000 are awarded for completing all 6 versions.

As of the Fifteenth Anniversary Update, the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series can be bought for  590,000 (originally  30,000,  55,000, then  66,500 and then  76,000).
