Here's Everything That's Weird And Awesome About The SL65 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.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Well then…im early

Is it me or does that engine sound really naughty
VERY NAUGHTY
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.
I thought that was a optional.
Insert “quirks and features” joke here
Here you go!
If ⭕️⭕️🔰Richard Concept🇨🇿⭕️⭕️ posted this then everyone would be complaining to him for stealing Doug’s content haha
Because he doesn’t leave credit
*sees a car called black, in a white paint scheme”
Ironic
This car is really nice imma buy it
The americans are just painful to listen to… corks, fenders, COOP and other ‘pearls’
Technically, the same could be said about any other country’s dialect.
Coupé = Coop lol. I guess they don’t understand accents on letters.
My favourite AMG car
