The special Black Series model differs significantly from the serial version of the SL 65 AMG. At first glance, immediately the modified body dress. Exhibited Radh?user arrange on the road motor sports flair and let the SL by 14 centimetres in width grow.

Besides the large air intakes in the front apron can be found at the rear further racing genes. A diffuser in Carbon-optics and a manually at the touch of a button or from 120 km / h automatically for twelve centimeters ausfahrender rear wing provide more sporting accents. At 200 km / h increases the aerodynamic help the total output of 50 kilograms. Across the series version the developers reduced the Auftriebsbeiwert by 0.1 to -0125. The growing extent deteriorated, however, the cW value from 0.31 to 0.37. Thanks to numerous parts from lightweight carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) could return the empty weight of 250 to 1,870 kilograms reduced. In addition to the fenders, hood, rear cover and the wing was also the umbrella lot from the light material newly constructed. The removal of the folding roof Versenkmimik saves, including additional weight. Thus, the Black Series model has a fixed roof, the roof line by 15 centimetres further back runs.
670 hp thanks to the new turbocharger
In addition to the weight reduction was the twelve-cylinder engine performance syringe by 58 to 670 hp. In order for the V12-heart even more insists, the two turbochargers redesigned and the spiral cross-section of the loader to twelve percent increase. Thanks to newly developed exhaust abgasseitig could also be reduced back pressure. Large air intakes in the front apron provide an improved ventilation of the stronger engine. For a better heat dissipation of the motor, the fan to the series version diagonally positioned and ventilation openings in the hood. "The themes cooling and fuel supply in this service area very difficult", explains Klaus Koester, Head of Development SL-performance AMG vehicles and studio projects. Thus the 80-liter tank series in the field of Tankeinf?llstutzens and with a new upper shell heavily modified. Unlike in the SL-Series models with outside fuel pump works in the Black Series innenliegendes a pump system. Due to the higher flow rate was the standard fuel pump through a new system, which is also in the S-Class and the Bugatti Veyron works.
320 km / h and 1,000 Nm of torque
The strongest SL shines with its performance Plus not only on paper. The Sprint 100 on pace to be 3.9 seconds and completes the advance until the 320 km / h electronically reined. For the delay is the same braking system as in the series version responsible, but provides an active Anstr?mung for additional ventilation. Through interventions in the electronic engine management, it is the maximum torque from 1,200 to 1,000 Newton meters. "More torque at Anfahrvorgang could not on the streets, and also because of the burden of more Getriebestrangs is not possible," says AMG-man K?ster. Therefore it remains in the Black Series model in the well-known five-speed automatic. Unlike the seven-course schnellschaltenden sports gear (100 milliseconds) of the SL 63 AMG made the course change here in the fastest Schaltmodus M2 in a maximum of 255 milliseconds. For the correct grip tires are bigger-sized format 265/35 R19 (front) and 325/30 R 20 (rear) on redesigned alloy wheels.
Agiles handling by thread chassis
In addition to increased performance and weight reduction, the newly designed chassis for thread agileres handling. Thus grew the gauge at the front axle to 97, at the rear axle by 85 millimeters. With board tool from the trunk of the train and pressure stage of shock absorbers, the vehicle levels, and track and fall changed. Wheel made of aluminium instead of steel and the abolition of the electronically controlled NBC chassis includes a chassis in the area for a weight savings. By changing Anlenkpunkte will also direct the steering behavior.
Sporty interior with racing bucket seats
In addition to numerous interior set Carbon applications various innovations sporting accents. So the bottom sport steering wheel flattened by 15 millimeters and reduced the combined instrument in black and white look redesigned. A tachometer positioned Schaltanzeige four flash of light emitting diodes (three yellow, one red) makes the SL-pilots on the speed limit of 6.100/min carefully. The new carbon fiber bucket seats give racing character. Without Side bags are the only seats in the ECE version, for example, and not on the American market, as well as the interior door panels made of carbon fiber.
From January 2009 starting price of more than 300,000 euros
Especially the U.S. market with over 50 percent of the main market area of AMG. "We are planning with a production volume of 350 vehicles, 200 of them are probably in the U.S.," explains development director K?ster. From January 2009 in the Daimler-Sebaldsbr?ck Bremen factory in a separate production line part of the structure (without fenders, hood, rear cover) of the strongest SL, before the AMG headquarters in Affalterbach the final assembly is made. The duration for the approximately 310,000 euro expensive SL is twelve months.
