Here's Everything That's Weird An Awesome About The SL65 Black Series

Doug DeMuro gets stuck into the quirks and features of the monstrous yet slightly bizarre Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series

The Mercedes SL65 AMG is known to be a weird car. Even though only 350 were made, AMG went to the effort of transforming the convertible-only SL into a fixed coupe, adding rigidity and lowering weight. It has some of the most ridiculous blistered arches ever fitted to a Mercedes, and it has a torque figuring beginning with the number 7.

From the weirdly-placed starter button to the surprisingly complicated storage bin and that adjustable spoiler which robs a huge chunk of the boot space, there’s plenty to go on here.
