I agree. This car looked super exciting and filled with joys to no end but because it is a merc, it is "tamed" as every mercedes is. Its almost a waste of money to convert an SL into a black edition because of the examples stated in this video.
I played around with one on Forza 3 and it had top speed and nothing else. So I reduced the weight, changed the gear box, tweaked the gears (now at 6), and let the bitch run free the way she ought too.
Does anyone know the song/music that starts at 01:33 please? I used to know it, but i just can't remember! And i know that i like it! SO, PLEASE, HELP ME OUT!!!
When reviewing cars like this jeremy always says ooooohh its too expensive. But thats irrelevant because the people who buy these types of cars are so rich that the price just isn't an issue. They don't even consider it. They see the car, they want it, they buy it. They're not looking for good value. Most of them will probably never drive it on a track.
i don´t get one thing...why should it differ so much from the SLR...I think it´s better than the SLR. I mean they both weigh about 2 tons , but then the SL black has 40 hp more and about 210 Nm of torque more than the SLR...It´s just better!!!
could anybody spell what he said at 4:29 ? "you would honestly be more comfortable on................... thank you! P.S. one of the best looking cars in the world
It looks like a DTM car. It has more horsepower than a DTM car. It has more luxury, plus a little bit more weight than a DTM car. What's not to love about it? (Besides the extra weight, but some luxury is necessary.)
if i was to spend 250 thousand pounds on an sl, i SURE would get a mclaren for 100 something more.. I mean look at that Nose @ 2:57.. its style ... Mclaren !
i think he meant if you are a person who saves for a couple of years to buy a super car and then ruins the tires and he will because you have to drive like crazy in a car like that:)) it could be a little thogh to buy new tires every now and then!
@topperharley822 because if they made a 1.2 liter version every 17 year old yob would be driving them, so it would take away from the true meaning of super cars.
@D111CKY not really. he's talking more about the practicality of the car. the chasis/tires are not built to handle the sort of power/torque engine offers (just like typical American cars) so if you keep it ON and want to pull hard by going full throttle, always traction control will kick in to limit the speed and you will go no where.
And if you turn it OFF, the torque is so much that you will waste the whole power by spinning the wheels and in turn damaging the tires and would need a new set.
@brucecheewai don't know much about foot/pounds. but about mpg - 1 mile = 1.6 kilometres, 1 gallon - aprox. 4 litres. mpg is how much miles you can go on 1 gallon. do the maths)
@magisterartium and you say that because you are 8 years old and sit behind a computer-screen and think youre cool because you say whore, wow you must really impress your friends... well you dont have any I suppose....
i love the way this sl 65 looks. but if i had the money
id prefer to get a sl 550
which is way cheaper
or get a s 63 amg or e63 amg
or hell sls if i had money. i mean This SL 65 isnt the nicest in terms of looks style, body, and performance is great. but its not as fast as the slr and it is slower than some cheaper ferrari's and corvettes
I don't see what's so good about this car. I like the Ford Focus much more. The Focus is cheap and I don't have to worry about too much power or scratches. Let's be honest, 199 mph is ridiculous high speed. This car should not be allowed to go faster than 60 mph. Nobody should be allowed to go faster than 60 mph. And, to end it all, this car is just ugly. Why are the wheels so big and why, oh why, did I watch this video until 5:00?
@SuperApparition Why the hell did you the search Mercedes SL65 AMG Black if you have that opinion. And then you compare it to a Ford Focus, thats like comparing a food blender to a letterbox.
@nicws Exactly mate, cars like this aren't meant to be all cheap and cheerful and useful, they're meant to be fast, fun and rocking good. Sure a Focus is a better all rounder, but given the chance, I'd take a Black hands down!
@nicws Whoa did someone even dare make that comparison. You might as well say the pinto is the best car ever made. They should really get a reality check. Get it straight sl65>focus by far.
