Top Gear slams Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series

YES lol i saw this on sunday. its hillarious i honestly think that when he sits on the pile of rocks its more comfortable LOL!!!! he even says sitting on a toilet is more comfortable and goes faster. hillarious this is why ive been watching top gear since season 1.

Jeremy Clarkson is degenerated. His ancestors'd have loved this car, it was built for barbarians, spartans and germanic warriors, whom somehow got to the present.

Well,well,well... Mercedes looks promising only on the paper,"big surprise", on the road it is hm, well not worth the price! After all, there's only one BMW M DIVISION and they will never kneel down. Jeremy never slamed M3 that's for sure.

I've been watching it since Noel Edmonds and Angela Rippon were on it. Beat that!

This car isn't fast for the power, an M5 can do 10 Km/h more with 163 hp less

I watched it in the morning and I must admit I was a little supriesed. After CLK63 Black I thought this would be even better.

Who in their right mind would pay such a premium for a faster SL? None of the people who will buy them will truly race them, and have absolutely no need to go any faster then the SL55 will propel them. I have always thought this about expensive cars with expensive body kits and $40k turbos...

Horrible looking car. The bodykit looks like something a chav would buy off eBay to bond onto his Ford Fiesta. The normal SL looks A LOT better.

Further proof that power is nothing without control.

Mercedes would like to be an excellent sports car, but it is not. They're built for nice and easy driving with no stress, simply enjoying. BMW's are built for fast and brilliant driving, Jeremy Clarkson said it's just in their blood.

Mercedes-Benz as a company was never born to be a Motorsport car company. Notice how much Mercedes-Benz increases and supercharges its cars' engines to keep them on a par with BMW Motorsport and it fails... Black Series or Red Cucumber, Mercedes-Benz should just learn from BMW Motorsport how to build Motorsport cars.

Power is not everything. CLK Black was great, this car is only mad.

Why is everybody having a baby ova what he says!?! As far as we know, he thinks Micheal Jackson isn't dead, that he faked his death to end his pop career so that he can focus on driving because Micheal Jackson is actually THE STIG!!! There are many cars that he says are crap and he went to go buy him a Ford GT!!! Geez guys, Jeremy isn't Jesus!!

I'm with GeeNee When will this ridiculous admiration of everything coming from this guy's mouth end? I didn't like this car but knowing Clarkson is slamming it, actually raises my appreciation of the big black Merc!

If Jeremy hates it, I'll have two please! That has been my creed since pretty much ever!

this car is a waste of money, with that price, you can get better looking cars!

clarkson forgot to mention one thing. the SL's 3 valve per cylinder engine.... this is the 21st century, right?

I can forgive everything because like some others said, AMG/Benz didn't want this to be faster than theSLR. Also the transmission should be no surprise, even the SLR uses a 5 speed, for an obvious reason that MB stated a long time ago, the AMGs largely create wayyy too much torque for the 7Gtronic to handle, thats why even the SLR and SL65 Regular retain the 5 speed. The same applies here, Clarkson i like you, but you're getting duller, to say dumber. What I don't like about this car as a Benz lover, is that it uses stock SL65 Suspension which i believe is the gas chamber type, thats good for cruising and luxury but a circuit car like this really needs more competent suspension. The seats might be uncomfortable but this isn't an average Benz; This is MADE for track use and track days, it doesn't matter whats come before it. This is a serious track car and once the SLRs have all been sold, this car needs to have Carbon brakes for one and A solid race type suspension along the lines of the adjustable units in the Viper SRT-10 ACR. They could work on the driving aids, TCS and what-not but i don't see it happening. Eitherway, im a pretty broke fellow and i would buy this car in a heartbeat if i had the cash. You could build an SL65 into a faster straight line car, but it wouldn't be nearly as light and not nearly as all-around despite this cars problems.

***Its also so uncomfortable in its suspension tune and chassis sway or lack thereof so that the car can handle complex corners and circuits in ways regular AMGs can't. Its made for the track and yet he faults it...this isn't really made for regular use although many drivers will drive it daily...come on Jeremy, you disappoint me old friend. Such ignorance is unbecoming of my man.

I love how you guys get so worked up !!! Its a bit like supporting your selected football team - no matter what you say, how much mud you throw, what statistic you bring up, who you quote, or who you offend - you will never ever get a chance to play with them!! You take the time to put down an MB in favour of a BMW, on what, the say so of an ageing TV dude!! Go read your specs, get weak at the knees over the fact that one car goes 200mph and another goes 205, you'll never do it!!! Get all hot and sweaty that one has 800nm and another is limited at 1000, its not like you'll ever experience the acceleration. Appreciate all these "mega" cars for what they are, bloody awesome vehicles, no matter what label is printed on them!!
