SL65 stealth edition
Remember that barnburner 604-hp, twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG we noted in our New York auto show coverage (AW, April 12)? Turns out that if you want the pretty silver model that Mercedes showed in the Big Apple, you’d better hop to it because that was one of 50 special-edition SL65 AMGs headed Stateside to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1954 New York auto show world debut of the 300SL. We’re told the Silver Arrow metallic paint job, AMG black Nappa leather and a load of anthracite carbon fiber interior bits on the commemorative model will add about $10,000 to the SL65 AMG’s sticker (which will begin well in excess of the SL600’s $120,000 base price—think $180,000 US). About 500 SL65 AMGs go on sale later this summer.
