I believe this IS the Black Series. Check the first pic for the logo to the left of AMG. Price $300K+.
Correct. It is a black series. Oh to be rich and able to afford such a beast...

I stand corrected.


Must have been the color that fooled me. But hey check the website and the rendered car: http://www.mercedes-amg.com/webspecial/sl65blackseries/

It's like jaw dropping gorgeous and wicked !!! The only thing that would probably be a downside is:

1. Engine sound! As from what youtube videos i've seen it really isn't that impressive. Just like the 911 turbo engine sound. Per comparison an M6 would sound like GOD compared to it...probably. That must be from the low revving engine (only 6000 revs or so).
2. Tranny. From what i've seen it has a 5 speed automatic.... Why not a 7 speed speedshift? What's up with the gearing?

The reason for the trans with less gears is that that's the trans that had handle the insane amout of torque that the car's engine produces (or at least that's what the car mags say).

6300rpm.
no 7 speed transmission can handle 1000nm.
Youre crazy. The m6 sounds pants. At idle it clunks like a diesel. And on high revs it sounds like a chicken that just had her head ripped off. Dont compare it to the 65... especially the Black series. please

the sl65 black sound... like this but two times louder

HAHA
That's exactly what i like in the Bimmer V10. It screams and screams and screams till you have to shift, and when you do the engine sounds like it's going for the last breath and then you go again in the next gear.

That's the closest you can get to F1 sound without spending a fortune for a car.

Here is the sickest M5 sound i've ever heard (true it's moded but the base counts)

Also i do prefer more the sound of the 911 GT3 compared to 911 turbo. NA and high revs has a wicked way to play with your mind and heart.

... and why couldn't our 6-series look someone as wicked as that????

If I had too much money in my bank, that car would be one of my "garage-cars"... ie a must have car.

(White is so IN these days. Brings back memories of the E34 M5 in white which I once had. )

cheers
