The car is finished in Iridium Silver (775) and equipped with Black Series-specific widened carbon fiber bodywork with a fixed carbon fiber roof. Additional exterior features include a rear diffuser, a carbon fiber hood, bi-xenon headlights, and a power-activated rear wing. Clear protective film has been applied to the front bodywork, and the lower front grille was replaced in October 2011 by Valley Motor Company of Salem, Oregon.
Factory forged-alloy wheels measure 19″ and 20″ in diameter and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires that measure 265/35 up front and 325/30 out back and show date codes from 2016 and 2017. The track is widened by 4.5” at the front and 4.1” at the rear compared to a standard SL65, and the car features an active-roll stabilization system. Stopping power is provided by silver AMG-branded calipers paired with cross-drilled rotors at all four corners.
The cabin features power-adjustable seats trimmed in AMG Exclusive Black Leather (551), with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets protected by AMG-branded floor mats. Carbon fiber trim is found throughout the cabin, and amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, COMAND infotainment with navigation, Keyless-Go, and an aftermarket LoJack security system. The passenger-side window switch was replaced under warranty in 2010. A set of uninstalled WeatherTech floor mats is included in the sale.
A multifunction flat-bottom steering wheel sits ahead of paddle shifters and VDO instrumentation that includes a 220-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer shows 11k miles.
The hand-assembled 6.0-liter V12 features Black Series–specific enlarged twin turbochargers and was factory-rated at 661 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels through a paddle-shifted five-speed automatic transmission and an AMG limited-slip differential. The transmission valve body was replaced under warranty in 2011, the spark plugs were replaced and a differential leak was repaired by Mercedes-Benz of Salem in 2015, a coolant flush was performed in 2016, and the battery was replaced in 2019. Service records are viewable in the gallery below.
