The SL65 AMG emerged as a stylish roadster powered by a V12 leviathan capable of crushing competition at a push of the acceleration pedal. The twin-turbo, 6.0 litre V12 engine delivers a massive power output of 604bhp which is tamed through an intricate network of electronics and safety features. Torque output is high enough to keep the driver pinned to the bucket seat upholstered with perforated leather at a max 1,000Nm, detuned from 1,200Nm, while the five-speed automatic transmission with manual capability provides great control over raw power. Style is guaranteed by the sleek body design and new 19" dual spoke AMG-signature alloys which camouflage the eight-piston caliper performance brakes. It is a beautifully packaged and ridiculous collection of power, sumptuous comfort and noise.

This superb example of this rare model is presented in silver with a black leather interior. It comes with a very concise service history with many stamps in the service book, two sets of keys and has had only three owners from new. This SL65 AMG version offers 604bhp from its twin-turbocharged 6.0 litre (5,980 cc) V12 at 5,500 rpm which is superb performance even by today's standards, let alone a Mercedes that was manufactured 20 years ago! These models are a true collectors dream and makes for an exhilarating drive, made even better by its exhaust note. Consigned by James Good
