yea its really fast but i mean this car should be priced at like 100,000-150,000$ range its way too expansive for what it is but its still an awesome car just too expansive
People who take this thing to the track will get up there. The top speed on this car isn't so outrageous it will take a while to reach it. This isn't really intended for the regular market thigh either. If I were to buy this car I would at least try to get close.
I'm pretty sure the top speed is limited, and that car is still very heavy. I'm not too surprised in the performance numbers.
The targeted market is rarely going to go over 130mph so why design you motor to do another 80-90mph that will never be used/achieved? And there is much more to performance then just 0-60. This will pull like no other at almost any rpm/speed your at
okay its not a supercar, its a gt. so its not the fastest but its still fast. it will easily run a 3.6 0-60. ive seen a c63 coupe do 0-60 in 3.7 with no upgrades. and the torque and hp is restricted and so is the top speed which many of us wont reach, fastest ive been is 155 in maybach 57s and 150 in an sls.
Haha, my z3 coupe is limited at 135. Ive had it for about a week and ive been really close of that twice. I hit it once and the next time hit 133.
Okay that's pretty fast and when will any of you ever even need to 184 mph you end up loosing control of the car and kill yourself It's a pretty sick car let's just leave it at that
yea for a 6L V12 i think those are some crappy performances expatialy with a 200,000$ price tag....
I'm really surprised that they aren't able to pull a faster 0-60 time than 3.9 seconds. For a car that just lost 300+ lbs and has more HP and more torque. The car really should do better in 0-60 and overall top speed.
Yeah... That's odd... You could have a ralliart Evo 8 with 300hp that could reach 180mph...
The fru fru's aren't driving them hard enough to know anyways. Plus the chassis is reinforced all over. I've driven the hell out of a 05 sl65 at VIR and there was barely any hint of roll or flex in it in turn 12 or 14 etc
It's called don't put the top down, there you have a free fixed roof. It's not like it affects performance noticeably..
I would love this car, with the 6.1 V8 and a lot less weight. Why can't the do that, make an SL with a fixed roof?
Nissan Headlights! Why would they change the front end from the previous model. They need to stop trying to please the real housewives of beverley hills, this is truly hideous. *sledge hammer to headlights*
Are you saying that they shouldn't have an article on the release of a new car?

Why is everyone so hard up about the SLS?.. It's not comparable to the SL really.. Ones a retro recreation and ones been around for generations
It's not like these are mass produced, and you can walk into a dealer and walk off the lot with one. These are special order only, every single one they sale is nothing but profit.
I can see the appeal, this car is designed more for business men who are very rich and like fast cars, the sls is more of a wild car, it's not as reserved or classy. Plus the sl65 will kick the doors off an sls in everyday scenarios.
Not sure why anyone would by a SL65 over an SLS Roadster? Unfortunately it doesn't look that much different from the previous model apart from giving it huge, ugly lights. Are M-B still shifting enough of these to really make a profit?
I really like it, but $200,000 is just a little overpriced in my opinion.
@riley, they said the v12 will join the v8 lineup, I had to re-read that paragraph a couple of times to get it, I thought it was a v8 too
Till you see one in person and snap ya neck lookin at it.. The headlights are not as bad as people keep whining about
Looks are what SLs should be all about. From the original gullwing, they were all gorgeous until this one. Mercedes have worked like McDonald's this time, offering just a jumbo SLK.
Who cares if its ugly, it's a little roadster with 738 ft lbs of torque! It must be insanely fast and fun to drive.
SLK's too small for my taste, but it looks great- both cars do. And they're better than the headlights on an E class at least.
I just hope they make this into the next black series. The old sl65 black is one of my absolute favorite Mercedes. Of course behind the clk gtr dtm amg
bored lookin at it...it realy doesnt do anything for me it just looks like a bigger slk.....its ashame as i was expecting much more from Mercedes !
All the German cars are like that. Audis cars all look like one another but smaller same with BMW and mb. S class looks like a big c class like a A8 n a6 a4
I love how sophisticated this car looks, but it is supposed to be a monster to drive
Oh, I didn't know Merc was getting taillight styling advice from TOYOTA SOLARA designers....*puke*
Too many vents, strips of chrome in the front. The back is smooth, front too much stuff.
The vents are actually a Mercedes and Pontiac staple. Both manufacturers used those round vents for years
i love this! but they should do something else with the dark oval around the navigation/vents.
I'm tired of those Pagani styled vents most cars are using now. I dunno why but I am
Que pedazo de autoooo!!!
If take this over the SLS. It's faster and while I do think the SLS's looks are more sought after...the SL 65 is just a f***ing beast
How much more is the gullwing over this and if not by much, why would anyone buy this ugly p.o.s. over the gullwing/sls?
I was sure that the SLS convertible replaced this. I'm shocked and confused here.
This will whoop almost any Aston's butt
I'd rather have an Aston Martin or a Maserati for that price!
Yeah, the last sl 65 started at 204,000 if I'm not mistaken. I had heard it was being killed for being too competitive with the sls, but I'm glad that was wrong.
While it is expensive it's also a twin turbo v12..
I thought they killed it? Thank you for letting that be wrong!!
I would definitely buy the SLS over this still.
I think I would just buy the SLS
Seems a little pricey
