It was ludicrous because only a few years before the Carrera GT had 603bhp, the Murcielago LP 640 had 631bhp, Zonda F Clubsport 641bhp, the Ferrari Enzo 651bhp and the Mclaren SLR 617bhp. Even the 722 edition "only" had 641bhp. These were the royalty of hyper cars in 2008. For Mercedes to take the SL and dump 661bhp into it was madness.

[@alexprost7505]

And she was so torque, 1000nm

[@Coolgamer400]

[@BooTub3]

Can’t wait until I pick up an E55 AMG 😋 First AMG I’ve ever ridden in was a SL55 AMG. I know it’s nowhere near the Black Series but you’d be surprised there’s not much difference between the SL65 AMG and the SL55, the 55’s instant power from the supercharger and V8 vs the turbos spooling on the V12 & the weight meant they were pretty equally matched, fun fact! Now save yourself the headache of the V12 and having the reliability of that 5.4L

[@RealGX]

Congratulations on your purchase, but the SL65 will feel a lot faster, and will be faster at higher speeds. The V12 has decent reliability too.

[@BooTub3]

@@RealGX I’ve been in both. The V12’s weight and lag from the turbos spooling compared to the supercharged V8’s instant power band isn’t much different unless you’re talking top end.. Most people won’t be able to use all that power so in reality the V8 is faster from a dig & keeps up from a 60 pull easily

[@sandroschtolpe6803]

​​@@RealGXhe is right tho. The V12s dont feel faster than the supercharged V8s. The thing the V12 has over the V8 is the insanely smooth running characteristics. But powerwise the M113k isnt worse. They even feel more brutal due to the instant supercharger torque kick.

[@bobibest89]

My favorite Mercedes supercar. The design is perfect. Super aggressive yet classy.

I’ve never driven one but I’ve been told that driving any of the TT v12 MB power plants is about the same sensation of a plane taking off lol

[@sandroschtolpe6803]

Its weird because its a very decent, linear yet powerful acceleration. Not as raw as the V8 Biturbo Amgs, also way quieter and the engine always sounds like it has plenty of power left. I like the V8 Biturbo characters more, more aggressive, but the V12s are more special. That being said, i drove this engine in an S Class. So this SL will definitely feel wilder.

[@rickbullock4331]

I saw 322 km/h on the speedometer and that translates to a smidge over 200 m.p.h. assuming the speedometer is correct. Regardless, that car accelerates hard all the way up. Hats off the the engine assembler at AMG, he did his job. I think he was seen leaving for home in his Smart car.😳😮🤔
