Named the Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series, the model has successfully topped the 1000 hp line, with a boost of 345 hp thanks to the upgraded ECU, air intakes, cooling systems, turbochargers, the whole works to be more precise. The 6-litre V12 engine also features 959 lb/ft of torque. It could get more, but it’s limited electronically to (just?) that. But this will make the SL 65 AMG go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds with an estimated top speed by MKB of around 230 mph.

A whole deal of work went into the creation of the MKB masterpiece and if you would want one, after paying a price tag of 116,800 euros (VAT included), be prepared for a couple of months of waiting, because the work doesn’t get done overnight, but in the end, it will be worth it.
