Amazing top speed vid (Sl65,Gallardo,ZR1,GT2,Viper)

I realize many diehards have seen this but for the rest of the mortals this should be a nice appetizer. Although it’s in German keep watching... the top speed (vmax) will be posted on the screen. Here is a link to convert kmh to mph if u can’t divide by 1.61 http://www.eforecourt.com/mph_kph_speed_convert.htm

PS. The SL65 is referred to as a "prototype" and I’m not sure what that means. It’s not a black series but may have been tuned?

This prototyp has the engine and chassi from the Black series but installed in a "Standard" SL AMG body. As the standard SL body is narrower then the Black it has better CD and by that it has a higher top speed.

Probably a prototype car for the Black Series engine. In the video they mention that it was built by AMG to see what the upper limit of that engine could be.
