The Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series was recently sold at auction. It is the most powerful version of the R230SL model that was produced in the period from 2001 to 2011.

The SL65 AMG Black Series is in good condition with a few minor scratches. It is equipped with a carbon body kit that includes ultra-wide fenders, sports bumpers, a bonnet with a vent, an active rear spoiler, a diffuser and a fixed roof in Iridium silver.

The interior is upholstered in black leather. There is a COMAND infotainment system from the last era, a new starting system, as well as dual-zone air conditioning.

The Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series is powered by an AMG 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine with 661 hp (486 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission that transmits power to the rear wheels. It reaches 62 mph in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 199 mph (320 km / h).
