Good going Faraz, maybe your letter helped others who wanted the exterior CF packge. I can't imagine Mercedes will create only one additional package for your car.

BTW, does anyone have a confirmed (i.e., in writing from Mercedes) build date for their Black Series?

 

Don't have a letter, but my build date is May, delivery in August. I think they stop production in May.

 

Thanks, my sheet specifies a build date of March 12th. So I expect delivery the last week of April or the first week of May. I wonder when the first BS's will get to the US.

 

I'm sure ti will be a beautiful car, I am disappointed in the mandatory panoramic sunroof option, if only the made more cars available and if you could get them w/o the weight increase, and decrease in structural stiffness problems with a sunroof, I think this is even worse than the first gen 911 GT3 having mandatory sunroof,

 

I concur. I think all of the BS's made available to the automotive press (including the version driven around the Ring) had steel roofs, lacked rear seats and had the track and aero packages.

 

Over here this car is circa $250k

 

G'Day from sunny downtown Melbourne.
Yeah, I saw that M/B were talking $245/250K....we are being raped are we not?
But, even $240/250K......D'you reckon that includes "everything".....in other words..DRIVEAWAY..NO MORE TO PAY?
Cheers, Pickles.

 

You guys have the best weather at the moment, we are all learning how to swim to work. Our aircon was heating at home last night and this is our hottest month!
I reckon the Black will run close to $280k on the road with a couple of options. I thought about one but the ride on Sydney roads would be too hard as a daily driver. I see a lot of comments on carpoint re the price of imported cars over here but when i look at my invoice i see a car that starts at $118,909 climb to $170k and most of that is GST, LCT and Stamp Duty. Taxes are hiking the price up enormously. "such is life" as Ned said just before they hung him.

 

Thanks All!!! You know what they say, go big or go home. Didn't want to take the car without carbon.
