Description
This 2009 Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG is a rare opportunity to experience one of AMG’s most formidable grand tourers, presented in timeless black over black with only 10,820 miles on the clock. Beneath the sculpted hood lies a hand built 6.0 liter twin turbo V12, delivering around 604 hp and an extraordinary 738 lb ft of torque, all sent to the rear wheels through a 5 speed AMG automatic transmission with manual shift capability. The result is supercar level performance, with 0 to 100 km/h in roughly 4.2 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of about 250 km/h.
At around 2,060 kg of curb weight, the SL65 AMG combines massive power with long distance comfort. The car features an advanced independent suspension and AMG tuning that allow it to cover ground with confidence, from tight backroads to open motorway. This generation SL, internally known as the R230, was styled under Mercedes Benz design leadership of Peter Pfeiffer and represents the classic hardtop roadster era, with a power retractable metal roof that transforms from coupe to open roadster at the touch of a button.
Production of the SL65 AMG was always limited compared to mainstream SL models, giving it an air of exclusivity among V12 Mercedes enthusiasts. Open the door and the cabin continues the theme of discreet power, with deeply bolstered AMG sport seats, high grade leather, and meticulous detailing. Black on black, low mileage, rear wheel drive and V12 power. This SL65 AMG is a collector worthy modern classic that still delivers the effortless, torque rich performance that made AMG’s flagship roadster legendary.
