Video: Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series

With 670Hp and 1,000 Nm of torque, the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series is the most powerful model to come out of the AMG factory yet. But the Black Series is not only more powerful it’s also 250kg or 550 pounds lighter than its 612Hp SL65 AMG stablemate thanks to the fixed carbon-fiber reinforced plastic rooftop, the lightweight alloy wheels and the numerous carbon fiber composites bodywork components. As a result, the Black Series needs just 3.9 sec to reach 100 km/h (62mph) while 200 km/h (124mph) is attained after 11.0 sec. The top speed is electronically limited at 320 km/h or 199mph. -Videos after the jump

Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series 670Hp

The evil-twin of the recently facelifted Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG has a name: Black Series. The most menacing SL to exit AMG’s factory comes with a breathtaking $320,000 price tag and a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine pumping out 670HP at 5,400 rpm and 738 lb.-ft of torque (SL65 AMG: 612Hp).

But that’s not all as the SL65 AMG Black Series features carbon fiber hood, fenders and trunk, along with a fixed carbon fiber roof with an integrated roll cage that replaces the retractable hard top. As a result, the Black Series weighs in at 4,122 pounds (1,869 kg) or 550 pounds (250kg) less than the stock SL65.

AMG also souped up the appearance of the Black Series with an aerodynamic wide bodykit that features seven air ducts - three in the bumper, two on the hood and two in the fenders- to cool off the massive twin-turbocharged V12 engine. According to preliminary figures, the Black Series can go from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.9 sec while top speed is limited to 199 mph or 320 km/h. -45 High Res Images after the jump
