    Holy fire and smoke Batman!

    They sure gave this car the full Olympic treatment (as in steroids), it looks like something out of a recent Batman movie.

    I wouldn't try to take on of these on the Autobahn...

    Indeed...

    Wow, looks incredible, but still fat. And bigger WOW @ 320K asking price!

    Wonder if they tried to get this car into the new Batman movie - seems Lambo has that honor though (gunmetal LP640 in the trailer).

    Re: Official: Mercedes Benz SL65 Black Series

    IMHO MB messed up the front headlamps and grille in the normal facelift and now this version messed up the wheel arches too. You can have too much of a good thing

    I suppose if you go out of town on a picnic, you could use the wheel arches as a picnic table...

    Not sure how many they wish to sell of these, but perhaps a limited edition 500 will find buyers. Will certainly have road presence.

    I think the regular AMG SL65 is $190K (US) so I was hoping that the price would be in the $230K range, but at $320K, thats a lot more than I'm willing to pay. The only positive is with depreciation this will be in the $230K range in a couple years.
