2005 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG - Twin-Turbo V12 - 51,644 Miles -
Immaculate Condition Offered for sale is an exceptional 2005
Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, one of the most iconic and powerful grand
touring roadsters ever produced. Showing just 51,644 original
miles, this SL65 has been meticulously maintained, exceptionally
well documented, and is accompanied by extensive service and
maintenance records. It is a two-owner vehicle that has clearly
benefited from careful ownership throughout its life. Power comes
from Mercedes-AMG's legendary hand-built 6.0-liter
twin-turbocharged V12 engine, producing an astonishing 604
horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Even by today's standards, the
performance is breathtaking, delivering effortless acceleration and
immense torque at any speed. The SL65 remains one of the most
powerful AMG vehicles ever built and is widely regarded as one of
the greatest V12 performance cars of its era. Finished in stunning
Silver over a Dark Gray leather interior, this example presents
beautifully. The hood and trunk have been professionally wrapped in
carbon fiber, adding a subtle performance-inspired appearance while
preserving the original panels underneath. The entire front end is
protected by high-quality Paint Protection Film (PPF), helping
maintain the excellent condition of the paintwork. The car sits on
an aggressive staggered wheel setup featuring 19-inch wheels in the
front and 20-inch wheels in the rear, perfectly complementing the
SL65's muscular stance. The interior remains exceptionally clean
and well cared for, reflecting the vehicle's low mileage and
responsible ownership. Highlights Include: • 51,644 original miles

collectible AMG Vehicle History & Collectability The R230 SL65 AMG
represents a special chapter in AMG history. Powered by the
legendary M275 twin-turbo V12, these cars were built in limited
numbers and showcased AMG engineering at its peak before downsized
turbocharged engines became the norm. Enthusiasts and collectors
increasingly recognize the SL65 as one of the last truly
over-the-top AMG creations-combining massive V12 power, luxury, and
open-top grand touring capability in a package that is unlikely to
ever be replicated. As modern manufacturers move away from
large-displacement twelve-cylinder engines, clean, low-mileage,
well-documented examples such as this continue to gain attention
among collectors and enthusiasts seeking one of AMG's most
legendary performance cars. If you're looking for a properly
maintained SL65 AMG with low mileage, outstanding documentation,
tasteful upgrades, and incredible performance, this example
deserves serious consideration.
