The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series stands as one of the most extreme road cars ever produced by AMG—an uncompromising fusion of brutal twin-turbocharged performance, lightweight engineering, and aggressive motorsport-inspired design.


Far removed from the standard SL, the Black Series was re-engineered with a widened track, fixed roof, extensive carbon fibre bodywork, and dramatically enhanced power output, resulting in a machine that delivers supercar-rivalling performance with unmistakable AMG character.


This particular example is exceptionally rare and highly collectible—one of just 10 UK-supplied right-hand-drive cars, and the only example specified from factory in Designo Magno (matte) Black Paintwork, a special-order finish costing in excess of £7,000 when new.
