Jaw to floor...
Tongue unrolling on the floor like a red carpet...
Instant headache from "cool Merc" concept hard to conceive...
OMG, it's ridiculous! (in a good way)

If that Black series on top gear was fast , what on earth will this be like??
SO damn sexy.

I'm not a Mercedes fan, but this one looks ok...
Only problem is, why the heck does it still way so much? 1870 kg! Thats over 2 TONS!

1870 kg CAN be over 2 tons:
A metric ton (the one that everyone in the civilized world uses) is 1000 kg, a "ton" (in the US) is about 900 kg... so for the americans, 1870 kg is approximately 2 tons plus 70 kg (about 140lbs)

to mps:
dude... it's over 2 tons
1 short ton = 907.18474 kilograms

Very cool...a bit of turbo tuning and this thing will blow away doors when it drives by...

i think as far as the new shape SL goes, AMG have actually managed to make this one look good. that in itself is a more amazing feat than the performance of this thing. the only thing is that if the "standard" SL65 AMG costs £160k odd, then this will be priced to match the Lamborghini Murcielago and Ferrari 599 GTB and i'd put money of both of them being better cars to drive

yeah i agree, the facelift really ruined the theme of the original styling but i reckon the wheel arches and especially the front bumper really make the facelift look sorted

and i like the back... the diffuser, the spoiler and the way it flows into the rear quarter panels... HOT! and whilst the c63 may be better value than this (remember that c63 black is ridiculously somuch more expensive than the regular c63) this just looks so special. it'll probably be the worse value for money sportscar. i'd really like to be able to drive both this and the slr and compare them.

That is one hell of a good looking car.I love the stance it looks mean!!!!

don't like those wheels, it's a bit too much of everything, the CLK black series is much more pretty, this car used too much steroïds!!!
July 11, 2008 7:07 am
I thought it would be more special than this. There is no big improvement in this like the CLK black. With the perfomance of the CLK black equally comparing to this in the 0-60, I would save my money and get a clk black and it would porbably save more money on gas. I think they held back on this one to make the new SLR more special.

Not only was the power limited, They also had to limit the torque amount to 1000Nm. Mercedes said 1200Nm is possible.

"I'm not a Mercedes fan, but this one looks ok... Only problem is, why the heck does it still way so much? 1870 kg! Thats over 2 TONS!"
So then its no problem, its under two tons?!!? hehehehe

Okay: 0-60mph under 4 sec, top speed 198 mph, very good looking! So please give it to JC and we will know how it handles.

Im in love with this car, Its an SL65 and while people might disrespect the power gains, it got something more important. It lost 5550KGs of weight, yea shes still a big girl....but with all that torque its gonna be easy to move it. Also this car dropped the hydraulic suspension so the handling should be incredibly better. I'ld buy it in a second, next to a GT-R and 911GT2 :)

smoothed front and dynamized end, they should make all SL look like this, despite the bumper kit.
