Here's Everything That's Weird And Awesome About The SL65 Black Series

Doug DeMuro gets stuck into the quirks and features of the monstrous yet slightly bizarre Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series

The Mercedes SL65 AMG is known to be a weird car. Even though only 350 were made, AMG went to the effort of transforming the convertible-only SL into a fixed coupe, adding rigidity and lowering weight. It has some of the most ridiculous blistered arches ever fitted to a Mercedes, and it has a torque figuring beginning with the number 7.

But there are still plenty of odd touches you might not know about. And who better to sniff them out than Doug DeMuro?

From the weirdly-placed starter button to the surprisingly complicated storage bin and that adjustable spoiler which robs a huge chunk of the boot space, there’s plenty to go on here.

One quirk he forgot to mention was the fact the American spec cars didn’t have the massively harsh carbon fibre seats. Only the Europeans cars had those.

Technically, the same could be said about any other country’s dialect.

Coupé = Coop lol. I guess they don’t understand accents on letters.
