I'm very surprised that they used the V12. I expected the Black Series to use some form of the 6.2L V8. Also, did you really say that "the interior gets stripped out with no back seat"? The SL doesn't have a back seat!

Because then it would be the SL63 Black Series(6.2L V8), not the 65. This car is based on the SL65 which has the V12.

SL65 is my favorite Benz, gorgeous, fast, great luxury and the stability is insane. This is a godly evolution, im glad to see the V12 still in action. i like the 63 engine, but i was afraid that engine hasnt been pushed enough(yet) to be used in AMGs Halo models as the Top engine option.

fOR ME ONLY, I have to say that I have ordered the SL63 and should get it in about 2 weeks. Iam totally happy with that. Car prices are getting as outrageous as gas and insurance for them. My SL will strictly be a weekend or special date night car for me, unless the price of premium drops radically LOL when pigs fly. other than that I will be driving a CRV or ford escape to get around in. this car is hot but a car has to serve several needs for it be a neccesity in my wallet. Fortunatly, the SL63 does that for me!!

sl class is a great car..still one of the best from mercedes,perfect for cruising, but it is not really a great sport car, driving impression is not in the special sport car region..How mb can really change that in this black series is still a puzzle for me...imo the black series is like catherine zeta jones with muscles.
