New Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG

The New York International Auto Show kicked off in style last week and unveiled Mercedes’ new beast of a car, the 2013 SL65 AMG. The new SL65 AMG replaces the regular SL and SL63 AMG and takes the SL range to a whole new level.

A 6.0 litre V12 engine is what keeps this puppy humming all day long and produces a hefty 621 horsepower with 738 pound-feet in torque. This particular V12 engine, the M279, has been spruced up with new twin turbochargers, an enlarged spiral cross-section, new manifolds and wastegate channels increasing airflow and delivering an additional 17 horsepower increase as a result. The improved AMG Speedshift Plus seven speed transmission has also resulted in a 17% reduction in fuel consumption.

The all aluminium body has resulted in massive weight loss when compared to previous models, contributing to improvements in fuel consumption, acceleration, handling and braking. More than this, the SL65 comes with a luxuriously sporty interior that will make your drive that much more comfortable and satisfying. What more could you want from a Mercedes Benz?

From 0-100km/h in just 3.9 seconds, expect the ride of your life.

What are your thoughts?
