In 2008, Mercedes-AMG unveiled the Black Series version of the SL 65 AMG. It was produced until 2011 and this limited edition was reproduced in only 350 copies. One of them, the 2009 Mercedes-AMG SL65 Black Series is up for auction.

This Mercedes-AMG SL65 Black Series 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-12 engine with 661 hp (486 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a SpeedShift Plus five-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.8 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 199 mph (320 km/h). It is mounted on 19″ and 20″ light-alloy wheels wrapped in 265/35R19 front and 325/30R20 rear tires.

The car is finished in Palladium Silver, well maintained and in good condition with only 835 miles on the odometer. It is equipped with panels made of plastic reinforced with carbon fibers, fixed roof instead of the convertible hard-top, retractable spoiler made of carbon fibers, suspension fettled by motorsport, AMG aluminum rims. It has a steering wheel on the left side. Adding to the overall appeal is the stunning Black Nappa leather and Alcantara interior.

This car is a good opportunity for collectors to expand their collections with another exceptional car, given the rarity of this model. In 2022, the owner installed new boot struts, and replaced the engine oil and filter.

The Mercedes-AMG SL65 Black Series comes with a Mercedes-Benz operating manual and service book, and is being offered at RM Sotheby’s auction with an estimated value of £275,000 – £325,000 GBP.
