AMG tries to crash Ferrari California debut with 65BS!!

Just reminded me of something the E55/63 madmen would do.

I can't imagine the scene. Cameras at a "Ferrari Owners Only Invited" event spin around and start shooting the monster as it rolls up.

Great job AMG!!

Article here.

By far one of the coolest things I've ever seen. AMG makes insane supercars, and they seem practical even in the face of the most mild F-car.

i never really like the SLR look..

but passing the crown to the SL (Blk Srs) is a good move.

Thing look likes mean even at a stand still.

That's pretty bad a$$ looking. I looked at all 31 pics :drool: Looks like they got rid of the folding roof.

Wonder how long until the AMG Black Series badges start showing up on eBay and other posermobiles?

Alright don't blast me for finding something I don't like about it, but what do you guys think about those wheels?

I'm not a huge fan of thin spokes on such a monster. I think it needs something with "meatier" spokes. Not too much so as to hide those beautiful brakes, but...

Am I crazy?

All that $$ and no illuminated door sills? I agree on the wheel comment. Needs something a bit more aggressive!

When that car rolls down the asphalt it makes all others seem diminutive. It's presence it just incredible and demanding...

I will be at the Moterey Historic Races this weekend. Hopefully the SL65 BS will be there. If so, I will waste 500MB on pictures! (it's an 8GB card, you can NEVER have too much film!)
