Mercedes Launches SL65 AMG Black Series Microsite

    0 Ratings
    MONTVALE, New Jersey — Mercedes-Benz has just launched a microsite for the SL65 AMG Black Series, whetting the appetite for the automaker's newest hypercar.

    Flash animation abounds, including a page called "The Elements" on which visitors can explore specs on everything from the exhaust to the luxurious interior on a mock periodic table. New studio pics of the Black Series SL are also featured. They're downloadable in a range of sizes from high-resolution wallpaper versions to smaller copies fit for an iPhone.

    Thanks to a 6.0-liter V12 that makes 670 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, this sporty coupe rockets from zero to 60 mph in less than 3.9 seconds. Its top speed is limited to an impressive 199 mph. The car loses 550 pounds from the stock SL65, although it still weighs more than 2 tons.

    What this means to you: A cool new site for a cool ride. — Mike Lysaght, Correspondent
