Just Another Day @ Work! Vossen Forged & SL65 Black Series?


so our buddies at the gables called us since they love Vossen so much! just to tell us that they got their first SL65 Black Series and that they wanted us to come check it out firsttttt and try to convince us to get rid of our S65 and our other toys and perhaps purchase one?

well, we went to check it out and thought we'd snap some shots to share since we love to have show & tell at vossen!

here it is guys !

If the car mags are any gauge they have tested it at:

11.6 @123.9mph
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...fications.html

11.8 @ 126.3mph
http://www.roadandtrack.com/assets/d...kSeries_dp.pdf

11.7 @ 126mph
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...on+id-234.html

The trap speed would be lower on a track as magazine trap is GPS based. It think it is a low 11s car with drag radials. Not sure it is getting into the 10's without a tune releasing more torque down low.

BTW Great pics!!

Such a gorgeous car. Still doesnt justify the price.

It should have been Sl550, sl600, SL63 amg, Sl65 BS thats it

Priced like this 100k, 144k, 140k and of coz the baddest of all priced at about 240k.

Then I think it would sell pretty good. Probably would sell like hot cakes
