Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG Black Series

We have to admit, amidst the outrageous alphabets, ridiculous numerics and no regards in any sense on styling; we have to give the credits to Mercedes-Benz, merely for having the guts to go ahead with such a program, all for the sake of doing something out of this world.



Plonking in a teutonic nuclear power station with a 6 liter V12 engine, Mercedes didn't stop here, they went all out berserk fitting 2 turbo chargers, removing the retractable hard top, turn the entire car into something capable of joining DTM races, but remain the luxuries in the car. This is taking volume production models into inching as close as possible to a full prep race car.



With 661hp, 738 lb ft of torque, this thing is in every way out of the reach of the Mclaren Mercedes SLR, fitting this SL65 AMG Black Series right in between the SLR 722 and the upcoming Mercedes PLC sports car.







Shaving a hefty 250kg off the original SL's bodyweight and the extensive use of carbon fiber bodyparts, this SL Black Series is not just merely dressed to kill; in fact if a Ferrari Scuderia F430 is a speed boat with aerofoil, this is US Marine's frontline battlecruiser, fully equipped with 200mm gunships, torpedos and ICBMs, or Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles so to scare the shit out of a Ferrari California cruising on sunset boulevard, reducing them to looking like mere Hyundai Coupes with a flash of those evil looking head lights and then a deep growling burble of V12 on steroids storming pass.





These cars are not created for Nurburgring stopwatch games, not created for Swiss Alps mountain passes whilst listening to Canon in D by Pachelbel.



This AMG is created for bank robbery, for a quick assassination attempt for the president in France and then speeding all the way across Germany, Poland, swerving into traffic with excessive smog spun from the huge tyres, blocking out view from the helicopter pursue unit, the sound of the turbo chargedV12 engine thundering across bystanders with the carbon fiber fenders knocking off chips of road debris made airborne by the sheer massive volume of air it displaces as it charges forward, shattering everything in it's way, reducing them to their original state of atomic particles.



The sheer lunacy of this creation makes us ponder and assured us, the requirements for the Head of Marketing Department is 1 - Car enthusiast, 2 - Masters in Automotive Engineering, 3 - 6 months experience in marketing.

Not a single millimeter of sheet metal on this car suggests involvement from the marketing department. No mention of 40% carbon emission reduction efforts or any hint of hybrid directions for future AMG Green Series - No such utter bullshit as witnessed by many maker's attempt of trying to woo environmentalists' attention.



They did just one thing, with just one word on the white board "The best Mercedes Benz sports car." or "The most lethal Mercedes Benz weapon."

And it's as if not even one moment any one raised any doubts on the direction they should be heading; immediately you can visualize engineers and marketer's brains were all filled with high speed power slides, burnouts, loud noises and hood vents, carbon fibers and more carbon fibers.

It's not as if Mercedes doesn't care much about the environment, in fact they're one of the fore runners in Fuel Cell technology, Bio-Renewable energy sources; Mercedes also actively design parts specifically using raw materials sourced from poverty stricken countries or communities. Mercedes is also the inventor of countless automotive safety features.

In short, Mercedes Benz has been contributing to humanity, saving millions of lives for almost a century.

So for once, they decided to kill some, and they go all out this round with no mercy left; and who doesn't love assassins that's cool, swift, effective, leaves no trace behind, and most important extremely deadly.

We love it.
