Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series is the ultimate tuning work for a luxury Merc and with a price tag of $320,000 it classifies in the supercar section. However guys at Automobile Mag recently put it on dyno and showed that almost a 100 of its horses disappears in the distance from the engine to rear wheels! The car’s official power figures are 651 hp @ 5400 rpm and 738 lb-ft @ 2200 – 4200 rpm, but what they actually got was 573 hp @ 5300 rpm and 682 lb-ft @ 3620 rpm in third gear.
No matter, power is not everything! It is the whole package. And SL65 Black is brilliant in every sense. If you only need power, buy a dragster, but this car is the ultimate because you can experience the ultimate joy in it.
