I like how they made it a fixed roof. I wonder how many units they plan as well (these black series so far are very rare)

^yeah till they release a Black version of one of their SUV's. I lost respect for the AMG's once I seen a AMG version of one of their large boats.

those pics are of the hardtop convertible just like all the other SL's, just that the roof is up.

incorrect my friend....

The roof on this SL has been converted into a fixed coupe roof, also crafted in carbon fibre to lower the Black Series' center of gravity and further reduce weight.

can't agree with you more, AMG lost its glory when it was involved with every model in the line up, they should def keep Black version limited, very limited.

these new 'black' versions are pretty nice lookin'!
The C should give BMW some good competition.

Razz1 09-25-2007 05:25 PM

That's better looking than the RS8

Jedi54 09-25-2007 05:26 PM

yup

Razz1 09-25-2007 05:29 PM

Sweet!

Jedi54 09-25-2007 05:32 PM

anyone know when we could see this hit car shows?

Razz1 09-25-2007 05:33 PM

This Jan in LA.

Jedi54 09-25-2007 05:35 PM

you just made that up!

Razz1 09-25-2007 05:45 PM

Ha ha your funny.

The car show is always in Jan.

Making it a fixed roof completely defeats the purpose of the SL. Why have two 2-seat coupes in the AMG Black Series lineup? I can't see it being much better than the CLK63 AMG Black Series (bad mofo).

BlueEyes 09-27-2007 08:54 PM

All 3 cars in the Black Series (SLK, CLK, SL) are 2 seat coupes.

BMW does the same thing with the M6 in the interest of ultimate performance. They don't even offer a sunroof in the M6! My brother has a 645 and his biggest complaint is that he would loose the moon roof (which he loves) if he were to trade up to the M6, so let's hope MB doesn't make the same mistake!

tajabaho1 09-28-2007 12:37 PM

I love all these cars, but I would rather mod my 8

NgoRX8 09-28-2007 05:32 PM

SL is sick!

ac3mastuh 09-29-2007 12:39 AM

i dont care much for benz's anymore since they're AMG'ng every damn model and this doesn't look all that great to me...just my $.02

They make an M6 convertible

Lithium Lotus 10-13-2007 01:43 PM

Another car I can't afford.

WoodsOfGreenRx8 10-13-2007 01:46 PM

It looks pretty damn sexy. I like it..

climacus 10-13-2007 04:43 PM

With the new square headlights it looks like the old school SL again. Wonderful car for greasy old dudes and their trophy wives. :puke:
