Mercedes is known for putting luxury first, then sport second. Always remember that

[@iSOBigD]

Then why does this have basically a C class interior? :P This looks extremely outdated inside, despite the nice wide exterior. There are many much nicer and more luxurious cars for a lot less than $300k, though maybe not as sporty. Then again, something with so much carbon fibre still weighs well over 4000lb, and seats 2.

[@charlied7886]

I bought an 08' SL55 with low miles, easily modified it with 800hp/755ft lb torque for less than 1/8 of the cost. After leaving my buddy's 65 Black Series in my rearview, he sold it & did the same.

fun fact: mercedes electronically limited the torque to 738 pft because thats the amount of torque the transmission can handle (can handle a max of 1000 Nm = 738 pft)

Soo just like he said in the video? :)

[@henrywhatever9516]

Andy Hage Parker said: "In order of saving you from dying and save the car from killing its self, Mercedes has electronically limited it to 738" he does not say it is due to the transmission.

*_beautiful car is not a disappointment_*

[@supercarsofaustin949]

I never thought this car was for the track, its an SL. It weighs 4200 lbs like you said and has a super luxurious interior just seems like its a GT, not a track car at all.

[@EmperorXaozx]

I can be a track car (even with the 4000+ weight that is can carry and the softer only seat for the U.S.). It's similar to the performance Bentely models in that they retain their GT characteristics strongly.

[@supercarsofaustin949]

but just because they put more power in it and make the styling more agressive does not make it a track car, or even a "track focused car"

[@EmperorXaozx]

Like I said before, it can be a track oriented car and a GT at the same time. The refinement of the car didn't just go with more power and revised styling, otherwise it would be unable to outrun its previous iterations in the midst of performing.

[@supercarsofaustin949]

k, nvm i guess you dont get what I meant.

Before I start the video who wants to bet 50 that Parker will say massive at least once in the vid.

SL65 Black Series is a super sport car made to a attract only classy man and woman.
