The closer we get to the official launch, the more details are being released about the future most powerful Mercedes model, the SL65 AMG Black Series.
The delivered power output was already known, but Motor Trend confirmed the number. The powerful SL will offer an output of 670bhp. Likewise, the magazine the staggering torque of 738 lb-ft. The news are that in addition to the power boost, engineers have focused on weight reduction. Thanks to the extensive use of carbon fiber in the fixed-roof, bonnet and front fenders, the SL65 AMG Black Series will lose 470 lbs to reach Mercedes-like weight of 4,080 lbs. By comparison, a Porsche 911 GT2 weighs 3175 lbs and the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 only weighs 3671 lbs despite featuring a four-wheel drive transmission.
The SL65 AMG Black Series will come, of course, with technical upgrades such as wider track, larger brakes, adjustable suspension and a deployable rear spoiler. On the inside, the supercar will feature racing carbon fiber seats, flat bottom steering wheel and Alcantara upholstery.
