Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series Edition
Mercedes was hoping to wow people with the new SLR McLaren. Unfortunately it didn’t have the ‘wow’ factor that consumers were looking for and have come to expect from a Mercedes-Benz. The car itself was quite impressive and had an amazing design to it. The only thing that consumers were unhappy with was the lack of power. That and the fact that the asking price was just a little too high for what the car itself was worth.
Luckily Mercedes has learned its lesson and has done the necessary improvements for the new Black Series version of the SL65 AMG. The new Black Series AMG has been designed to handle more power with less weight attached to it. This is a very common formula that many automakers have used and it has worked successfully in the past. The Ferrari 430 Suderia is an excellent example of this.
Mercedes will be replacing most of the body panels – which means that even the roof mechanism will be gone because of its heavy weight. Mercedes is promising us an even faster ride that will be better than the SLR McLaren and even more affordable. Yet, this is not the replacement car for the SLR. Mercedes is preparing an even better car for that called the SLC.
