SL65 AMG “End of Production Announcement”
No more SL65...
Please be advised that we are approaching the end of production for the R230 SL65 AMG model.
Due to changes in certification regulations, the final month of production for this model will be August, 2010. After this, the R230 SL65 AMG will be discontinued for the remainder of the R230 lifecycle.
If you are interested in placing an order for the 2011 SL65 AMG with your dealer, it will need to be done without delay.

That's terrible.... The SL65 was an incredibly amazing car.... a true power car.
I wonder if that means the CL65 and S65 are going away too....

If they are having homologation issues, it is probably the reason. Definitely one of the most entertaining engines to tune.

Tragic... Truly amazing cars. I hope the SL doesn't vanish all together into something resembling a lexus like the W212's. Can't wait to see what's next for the AMG platform.

There was a rumor going around that they may stuff the 65 engine in the W212 for an E65 model? I guess this may not happen after hearing this news about the SL65

That car will be a monster considering that the torque (with optional performance package) will be almost on par with S65.

I read that they decided against the name change and will keep the CL name. Anyone know if there is a new v12 in the works?
