Will the AMG SL65 Black Series live up to our expectations? The corporate goal was to create the ultimate Black Series, a vehicle of outstanding prowess on track and off, whose every line and detail underscores its dominance and top-level performance a vehicle to appeal to each of the five senses.
While development officially began in 2006, AMG Mercedes claims the SL 65 AMG Black Series is the culmination of more than 40 years of AMG engineering, motorsports and steadfast dedication to performance - a descendant of its forbearers if you will.

This isn't an everyday race but entertaining to say the least. Susie Stoddart, Bernd Maylander, Jamie Green and Fernado Alonso are battling each other at the Silverstone, Grand Prix Circuit.
Current AMG Mercedes-Benz production and motorsport cars are battling against the McLaren MP4-22 Formula 1 race car. Fernado Alonso in the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes starts last in a staggered start.
Jamie Green, in the DTM AMG C-class and Maylander in the CLK 63 AMG Black Series are getting 43 seconds advantage over Alonso. In the meanwhile, the C350, with Susie Stoddart behind the wheel, has already done half a lap!
The F1 makes a pit stop and continues the race. Did I mention this is a one lap race. Will Alonso in the F1 even have a chance?

Possibly the largest collection of CLK63 Black Series AMG cars are now at the Vehicle Prep Center (VPC) in Baltimore, MD. This VPC is the first stop after U.S. Customs for all new Mercedes-Benz vehicles destined for dealerships located east of the Mississippi. Baltimore's port has a national ranking of second in automobile importing and exporting according to the Maryland Department of Transportation.
Here are a few pics taken at the VPC for AMG Market plus a few stock photos provided by MBUSA:
