2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG meets a turbo V12


The new Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG comes with a facelift, as well as a turbocharged 6.0-liter 12-cylinder engine rated at a stupefying 621-horsepower and 738 pounds of torque. This power allows the SL65 AMG to sprint from zero to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds.

The SL6 AMG is about 254 pounds lighter than its predecessor, thanks to the usage of aluminum. Also, it is expected to deliver a decent (for a supercar) 12 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway.

There will be a 45th anniversary model available for purchase in September 2012 for 45 lucky people.

  6. I actually made a post about the Juke-R a while back. I feel like it would have a disadvantage with a higher center of gravity versus regular low sports cars. But it does have the same power source as the infamous Nissan GTR, so it'd be a perfect track car.
