My SL65 Black Series arrived!
Well, after months of searching for the right car at the right price, the truck arrived from Ohio. I just got back from accepting delivery of my new SL65 Black. It has all of 1.7 miles on it, so I drove it about 30 feet straight into the Motorwerks showroom to have a full clear bra installed on Monday. Hope you enjoy the detailed pics.

Some details of note: There are some interesting details on the underside of the car.
1) In addition to the CF bodywork, there are CF brake cooling ducts.
2) Swaybars are manufactured by H&R.
3) There are dual differential coolers.
4) Exhaust is by Eisenmann.
5) Wheels are made in Italy.
6) Airboxes are much larger than on my CL65.
For today, I enjoyed just staring at the impossibly wide, aggressive bodywork under the showroom lights for a very long time. Stay tuned for driving impressions next week.

Driving impressions to follow this week.....for now I can just say that the unique AMG V12 startup is a beautiful sound...similar to, but louder than my old CL65.

I saw a black SL65 Black series in person at the local dealership and the car just has so much presence! It looked 10 times better in person than in the pictures. Pictures do not do justice for this car! Congrats!

Very true. I knew I liked it on paper, but the thought of buying one never really crossed my mind until I saw one in the showroom.

You're gonna' miss that cushy CL ride! (No, you won't and neither do I.)
How about we meet one Friday night at TWS when they open up the road course?
It would be my pleasure to see your tail lights on the straights, if I could chase you through the corners!
