Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series

The Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series (R230) is a limited-production performance version of the 2008-2011 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG.
== Description ==
The Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series utilizes a 6.0L (5,980 cc) twin-turbo V12, named the M275 AMG. The turbochargers are 12% larger over the regular SL 65 AMG, and the optimized wastegate ducts allow more air to be let in. The intake air ducts and exhaust system have been altered to improve response and reduce the exhaust gas backpressure. The Black Series is lighter than regular SL 65 AMG by the use of light carbon fiber composites (CFRP) parts and the omission of the SL's normal foldable hardtop roof, replacing it with a fixed roof, which thus allowed for a retractable rear wing.
A revised version of the SL 65 AMG Black Series's M275 AMG V12 engine, renamed the M158, was later used in the Pagani Huayra and Pagani Huayra BC.

The SL 65, much like its future appearance, has good top speed at the expense of everything else; while the SL 65 has a good top speed and competitive total speed compared to late-game Tier 4 cars, it only has poor or mediocre stats everywhere else. The SL 65 has a weak nitro boost and efficiency, mediocre launch and acceleration, numb handling and wide drifting radius. As such, the SL 65 will lose a lot of speed in turns, making it unusable on tracks like Paris or New Orleans.
As the SL 65 AMG is unlocked very late in the game, after the Aston Martin V12 Zagato, and has inferior performance to said car in every respect with the only exception of top speed, it is not worth the effort of unlocking and purchasing, as the V12 Zagato can do everything the SL 65 can do, but better in both Career Mode and in Multiplayer; its poor acceleration, handling and marginal total speed at best means that the SL 65 will lose to not only the V12 Zagato, but many other Tier 3 or Tier 4 cars, such as the Renault Alpine A110-50, as well. The only use of the SL 65 is in Asphalt Academy where the player may be forced to use it.
