"My absolute favorite AMG 'Black Series'"- Bruce Canepa
The Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG "Black Series" is the high-performance
variant of the SL-Class. The "Black Series" was meant for supreme
performance, it was offered as a hardtop. Accompanying the fixed
roof was a multitude of improvements to the performance,
suspension, brakes, aerodynamics, and drivetrain. The ultimate
Mercedes-Benz two passenger high-performance sportscar.
This 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG "Black Series" is one of 175
examples produced for the US. Finished in "Stealth" Black, over
black leather upholstery, it is powered by a massive
twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 paired with a paddle-shifted
five-speed transmission and limited-slip differential. The
hand-assembled 6.0-liter V12 features enlarged twin turbochargers
that are unique to "Black Series" cars, and is factory rated at 661
horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. A special plaque bearing the
signature of the engine's builder is affixed to the engine
cover.
"Black Series" cars exclusively feature wider carbon-fiber bodywork
and a fixed carbon-fiber roof, decklid, and side panels. This
example is finished in Black and features bi-xenon headlamps with
washers and adaptive cornering as well as a speed-sensitive
carbon-fiber rear spoiler, a rear diffuser, and polished exhaust
outlets. The forged 19? and 20? AMG twin-spoke alloy wheels are
mounted with Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires measuring 265/35 up front
and 325/30 at the rear. The track is widened by 4.5" at the front
and 4.1" at the rear (compared to a standard SL65) and features an
active-roll stabilization system and Electronic Stability Control.
Stopping power is provided by silver AMG-branded calipers over
slotted and oversized cross-drilled rotors at all four corners.
The cabin features power-adjustable multi-contour sport seats
trimmed in Exclusive black leather with model-specific contrast
stitching along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and
carpeting. Carbon-fiber trim accents the center console and doors,
and amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, COMAND
infotainment with navigation, Keyless-Go, an Alcantara headliner,
and a Harman Kardon LOGIC7 sound system with an in-dash six-disc CD
changer. The shift knob denotes the car as one of 175 designated
for the US market (only 350 total built worldwide). The
leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel fronts paddle
shifters, a 220-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges
for coolant temperature and fuel level.
This specific example is in "like new" condition with only 1800
miles. It was first offered and sold by Euro Motorcars in February,
2009. During its time with the first 2 owners, the SL65 "Black
Series" was regularly serviced by Euro Motorcars. The car was
purchased by its third owner in June 2012, and driven an average of
only 95 miles per year. The car was regularly serviced and
maintained by Mercedes dealerships.
Prior to its arrival here at Canepa, the vehicle went through a
major service including new tires and complete service of
air-conditioning, cooling system, electrical, hydraulic components,
and transmission.
This SL65 AMG "Black Series" was treated to the same Canepa
Difference process every vehicle that comes to Canepa goes through.
It was inspected, tested, serviced as needed, and detailed to a
Concours level. This SL65 AMG "Black Series" is one of Bruce's
absolute favorites among all "Black Series" Mercedes Benz.
