-   -   AMG powered SL 63 (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/super-cars-imports-india/30851-amg-powered-sl-63-a-2.html)

Time for a replacement to the R230. It's been around for 6 years, 8 when the 2009 one pops out, with minor facelifts. Change!

Yep, the facelifts are minor, but they sort of..ruin the effect of the entire car.

Guys.. I dont know if its been mentioned on the forum or not but are you bombay t-bhpians aware of a black S63 AMG ? I saw it when I was in bombay during christmas week. It was amazing, the exhaust note phenomenal and it had a white gypsy escort. I havnt heard anyone mention this car here. But Im positive it was a black S63 AMG.

This is going to be my brother's new ride. He sent me some pics for reference so posting them here. It's a SL65 AMG Black Series ! Sadly he's in New Zealand and I won't be able to go there for the next 8-10 months.

^^What an awesome colour to an even more awesome car! Never knew a Merc could look so good with the trademark Lambo colour!

I guess that colour is called "Papaya Orange".

Are you sure?
New Zealand is a RHD country and this vehicle is an LHD.

Man! That SL65 AMG Black Series looks so demonic in that shade.Accentuates its hardcore characteristic and gives it a very un-Mercedes-Benz feel.Has to be one of the most hardcore road going Mercs ever,since the CLK-GTR!

I agree, but in his defense he did say the pic was for reference. But even still shouldn't the display vehicle also be RHD?

Even the silver car appears to be an LHD

That is a gorgeous car. What a colour, man! Cheers!! :thumbs up

What an awesome car in such an awesome color. The orange gives it the much needed mad look.
What is the difference between a normal sl65 AMG and a black editon ? Only the exteriors right ?

Well the colour story is something like this - My bro called me up and said He has to buy a unique car. One of it's kind and rare as well. A vehicle which appeals all the five senses and which offers super-high performance. The only thing which came in my mind was AMG Black Series ! Then for the colour, I told him to get a "something extremely unusual for a mercedes" colour and he just agreed. The moment I saw the pics, I was left spell-bounded by the orange beauty ! It's like something you dream about and it comes to life ! That colour makes the car look alive !

My bro lives in NewZealand but the pics were forwarded to him by a MB-US official and friend.
