2005 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

2005 MERCEDES-BENZ 65 SL AMG. #WDBSK79F75F094495.

(Stock #4388.) These AMG Supercars are rare and amazing, as they should be—for an original cost of about $200,000 (just $182,720 without any options). Powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0 litre, AMG-built, aluminum V-12 engine which produces 604 hp @ 5500 rpm and a whopping 738 ft. lbs. of torque providing a top speed electronically limited to 155 miles per hour (or 217 mph with the limiter removed). All of the power is handled by the enormous 8-piston brakes with 15.4” rotors in the front and 4-piston with 14.7” rotors in the rear–living behind 19” alloy wheels. Active Body Control keeps this 2&¼ ton masterpiece level on turns and the car is loaded with safety features. Ours is a completely original car which cannot be distinguished from new in its original black with Graphite leather. Our local customer added the car to his collection – housed in an 8-car, climate controlled garage – in 2010, then with 9,500 miles. He purchased it in new condition from its original owner and drove it sparingly—@4,000 miles in 14 years. Complete with all original manuals, tools and full provenance from new.  Current mileage: 13,384 miles. $78,000.
