The untimely passing of the owner’s spouse is what necessitates this sale as the estate assets (including the home) are being sold. Our selling price is thousands below market value and will be sold to the first reasonable offer received. This luxury sports car, which sold originally for $187,000, is one of the most beautiful vehicles we’ve ever had the pleasure of selling. Purchased in 2014, this automobile is accompanied with a Mercedes-Benz Certified and Pre-Owned Inspection and Certification Report – along with maintenance records and a Car-Fax report. The family are collectors of fine automobiles and are meticulous with the care of each automobile in their collection. They are the fourth owner of this vehicle. This roadster has a total of 71, 455 miles and is in perfect condition. Tires have recently been replaced. The body is in perfect condition except for a very tiny scratch on the passenger side (please see photo). This convertible is a full luxury sports car with a power retractable hard roof, navigation system, Command system, keyless ignition, and many other enhancements. This 12-cylinder AMG biturbo engine, with an output of 450 kW/612 hp and a maximum torque of 1000 Nm - the SL 65 AMG is one of the world's most powerful and highest-torque series-produced roadster. The open-top two-seater not only maintains Mercedes-AMG's impressive V12 tradition; it also offers a level of performance previously unheard of in this engine size class: the SL 65 AMG accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and passes the 200 km/h mark after just 12.9 seconds; its top speed is 250 km/h (electronically governed).With its modified AMG sports suspension, mechanical differential lock and newly developed AMG high-performance brake system with composite discs, front and rear, the ultra-powerful high-performance Roadster's dynamic handling is certainly impressive. And the exclusive standard equipment on-board this open-top dream car underlines the technological ambition behind it. Much of the credit for the AMG 6.0-litre V12 engine's extraordinary performance must go to the biturbo system, which features larger turbochargers and powerful water-type charge-air cooling. The remarkable maximum torque of 1000 Nm remains constantly on tap between 2000 and 4000 rpm. The 570-Nm torque which the AMG V12 biturbo engine delivers to the crankshaft at just 1000 rpm rises to 830 Nm 500 rpm later.The AMG 12-cylinder is as ideally suited to powerful acceleration in the highest engine speed range as it is too relaxed cruising in high gear. Superbly responsive, yet smooth and refined, it guarantees the high level of touring comfort traditionally associated with Mercedes. Exciting high-tech features are revealed as soon as the hood is opened. The redesigned engine cover, which is made from deep-drawn aluminum and carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a visual treat.The 12-cylinder engine is assembled by hand at the AMG engine facility - right next to the line where the supercharged AMG V8 for the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is produced. The 'one man, one engine' philosophy is reflected by the characteristic signature plate on the AMG V12 which bears the name of the specialist who assembled the engine and guarantees the highest standards of quality and workmanship.SpeedshiftIn the SL 65 AMG power is transmitted by the AMG Speedshift 5-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel gearshift controls and manual mode. In keeping with the tremendous levels of power and torque available, a number of measures have been taken to optimize key transmission components - including the adoption of newly developed clutch pack discs and modified shift and torque-converter-lockup logic. There are also special drive shafts, larger hub carriers and wheel bearings and special spring links at the rear axle.In the reinforced rear axle differential case, fitted with a heat sink, is a mechanical, asymmetric, multiple-disc limited-slip differential with a lock factor of 40 percent under load. This ensures good traction, particularly with a very sporty driving style. With the modified acceleration skid control system, which is equipped with traction logic, the high engine output can always be optimally transmitted to the road.Composite BrakesThe SL 65 AMG is fitted as standard with Active Body Control (ABC) and special AMG spring struts with firmer damping. The driver can select an even sportier mode at the touch of a button, reducing pitch and roll still further. Fully reworked dynamic handling control systems such as ABS, Brake Assist, ASR and ESP® (Electronic Stability Program) complete the enhanced chassis setup. In order to cope with the high power output, there is a newly developed, high-performance, composite brake system with 390 x 36 mm brake discs at the front and 360 x 26 mm brake discs at the rear.AppointmentsWhere looks are concerned, the new AMG V12 flagship model has several key features which set it apart from other SL-Class models. The redesigned front apron, optimized in the wind tunnel, has a striking contour which is based on the look of the Formula 1 Safety Car. The significantly larger air intakes ensure a reliable supply of fresh air for water, engine oil and charge-air cooling; like the rear apron and side skirts, it is part of the powerful AMG body styling package, which blends harmoniously with the award-winning design of the Mercedes Roadster. The independent, AMG-specific radiator grille is another feature which sets this model apart.Contact with the road is taken care of by multi-piece, 19-inch AMG twin-spoke wheels, painted in titanium grey, with size 255/35 R 19 tires at the front and size 285/30 R 19 tires at the rear. The chromed V12 Biturbo lettering on the front wings indicates the exceptional dynamic qualities of this vehicle, while highlights at the rear include the dark-tinted tail lights and the AMG sports exhaust with its two oval, chromed twin tail-pipes. The new composition of the typical AMG, V12 sound provides a special acoustic charm, particularly when driving with the vario-roof open.Inside, the high-quality trim in fine wood or aluminum and the leather appointments, available in three colors, exude an exclusive flair. Electrically adjustable AMG sports seats with AMG-specific seat fluting and perforation pattern, optimized lateral support, multi-contour function, memory and seat heating make every journey in the SL 65 AMG more delightful. Further standard equipment in the SL 65 AMG includes the AMG instrument cluster with its Alcantara surround, 360-km/h scale and V12 Biturbo lettering, the AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel with gearshift buttons, the door sill panels in etched and polished aluminum with the AMG logo, the bi-xenon headlamps, COMAND with DVD technology, the CD changer and the sound system.Story by DaimlerChryslerPlease note that we are aware of the responsibility of describing the features of the vehicle we are selling.
