The SL 65 AMG Black Series (2008-2009) was the most extreme R230, powered by a hand-built twin-turbo 6.0L V12 producing 670 hp and 1,000 Nm. It replaced the folding hardtop with a fixed carbon-fibre roof, added a widened carbon body, and shed roughly 125 kg versus the standard SL 65. Built in tiny numbers, it was AMG's final and most uncompromising V12 roadster before the R231 generation.
It combines the largest road-going AMG twin-turbo V12 of its era with motorsport-derived weight reduction, aero and a track-focused suspension in a car that remains genuinely usable. Extreme rarity and its status as the last unfiltered expression of the R230 platform give it lasting significance.
