Err the SL65 AMG is a TT V12, the SL600 isn't equipped with the TT .. The TT version delivers 612bhp@4800rpm, the 'normal' V12 delivers 517bhp@5000rpm!

I know, late reaction
You are wrong. Check your facts before you try to correct somene. BOTH are twin turbo V12:s



Actually fellas .. the SL600 uses a TT 5.5L V12 while the SL65 AMG uses a 6.0L TT V12.
Shinigami has already establishad that as you can read in THIS thread.

I bet it will be faster than the SLR too.

What's up with that fixed wing? I wonder if that's just there for development and not the final product.

It does look aggressive... but I guess it's too much for a normal SL. Either they're trying to fool us, or that's an hardcore version like a the black series or CLK DTM

Official: SL65 AMG (facelift)


Just a few days ago we brought you pictures of the latest SLK 55 AMG, and now we have the first official picture of the SL 65 AMG, Mercedes’ flagship roadster. As early as February of this year we were giving you previews of what the SL facelift might look like, and it seems we were pretty much on the money. The one major difference in the new look is the rear fascia and diffuser, which are unique to the new facelift and not found on any other model in the SL line. The news that accompanies the new pictures also confirms Mercedes will be offering an SL 63.

The picture released today only shows the new SL 65 from a rear three-quarters view, so other visual details are obscured. The powerful and prominent rear diffuser that holds the quad-exhaust tips, two at either side and the large, aggressively styled taillights dominate the view from behind. What we can see of the side looks similar to the outgoing model, and the front end, which is not shown in this picture, will doubtless hold a few surprises.

Power still comes from a 6.0L V12 in the SL 65 AMG, churning out a massive 450kW (612hp) and 1,000Nm of torque. The SL 63 AMG will get its power from a large-displacement V8 that pumps out 386kW (525hp) and 630Nm of torque. Both will be available with the AMG SpeedShift MCT 7-speed. For those with an eye toward fuel consumption and emissions, neither car is going to win any ‘green’ awards, but the figures aren’t as bad as you might think, given the massive power statistics. The V12 in the SL 65 AMG burns 15.1L of petrol per 100km traveled, and emits 362g/km of CO2 along the way. The V8 in the SL 63 AMG is somewhat more economical at 13.9L/100km and 330g/km CO2.

No word yet on pricing, but expect things to start out somewhere north of $180,000 like the current SL 65 AMG.

Both will be available with the AMG SpeedShift MCT 7-speed.

I am curious to know if they finally make the 7 speed gearbox strong enough for the 1000 Nm V2 engine

First clear pictures of the front. I think this is a 350?
