Classic Car Overview
2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
The R230-generation SL65 sat at the very top of Mercedes roadster lineup, and this 2009 example shows why that reputation was well earned. Finished in Diamond White Metallic over a Galapagos Grey leather interior, its offered with four previous owners, 50,000 miles, and a build totaling $198,600 including options. Power comes from AMGs hand-assembled, twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12, producing 604 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, sent through a 5-speed automatic to the rear wheels alone, delivering a 0-60 mph time in the mid-3-second range and a top speed governed to 155 mph.
AMGs modified Active Body Control suspension anchors this SL65s dynamic side, using electronically controlled hydraulic cylinders at each corner to actively manage body roll, ride height, and damping in real time a genuinely advanced system for its era, and one that lets a two-ton roadster corner with far more composure than its curb weight would suggest. Distronic adaptive cruise control was added to this particular build, along with six-piston front and four-piston rear AMG brakes for stopping power that matches the V12s output.
Inside, Ash-colored AMG Exclusive leather is set off by Black Ash wood trim, wrapping a cabin equipped with 12-way power heated and ventilated front seats featuring massage function and pneumatic side bolsters. Airscarf neck-level heating extends open-top comfort well into cooler weather, while a COMAND system with an in-dash CD/DVD changer and full Bluetooth integration rounds out a specification built for genuine long-distance grand touring.
Combining one of AMGs most powerful naturally aspirated-displacement V12s with the folding hardtop practicality of the SL platform, this SL65 AMG offers a compelling opportunity to acquire one of the most formidable open-top Mercedes ever built.
