SL65 Black Series....It's Coming!!!!!!
I just wanted to let everybody know that the first Black Series will be coming to our dealership for my client. It will be diamond white, which should be interesting. If anybody has any pic requests, please let me know. The car will be chilling at the dealer for a bit, so I would be happy to take some pics. Let me know

My dealership (MB of Encino) is supposed to be getting mine by next month and they are supposed to contact me as soon as it's in for me to pick it up. I'll be uploading pictures to my album the day I receive it. I'll be letting go of my current SL so make room in my driveway. SL BS is one hell of a car though, as I've already driven it around the Lacuna Seca track over in Monterey quite a few times last month during the official SL65 Black Series Driving Event. I was also able to take my CLK around the track over there on that day since it was an event for all Black Series models.

The SL65 on the dyno.

If this beast wasn't limited, it would crack 220 mph with ease no doubt.

Answer: 573 Rhp @ 5300 rpm and 682 lb-ft @ 3620 rpm in third gear. That's wheel horsepower, remember. And the result is right where it should be given the engine's rating of 651 hp @ 5400 rpm and 738 lb-ft @ 2200 - 4200 rpm.

It's amazing that this car can launch from 35mph to 190mph in about 14 seconds. I would love to see them take the limiter off this thing and let it cruise to 220+. It may not be the best comparison, but it's impressive; the fastest EVO in the world gets to 220mph in 27 seconds

Glad to read that someone has the ***** to order one in a color other that black. I ordered one in 775 Iridium Silver. It seems to me that since this is really a track car disguised as a street car, it should be in Mercedes' historic silver racing color.

It's nice to be different then follow the trend, even if it may be a collectors item.

Your data is a bit off, the first cars are actually sitting in the port right now on the East Coast and have been for about a week.

A "friend" call me as they were unloading them from the ship.

Those aren't cars for sale....I know what you're talking about, and they are not billed PO's. I'm pretty sure my data is right...
