Description
2005 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
The Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG represents the pinnacle of the R230-generation SL line-up - a hand-built, twin-turbocharged V12 powerhouse that combines brutal performance with refined grand touring comfort.
This example is a relatively low-mileage car finished in striking Tellurium Silver metallic over a Grey Nappa leather interior, enhanced with carbon-fibre and Alcantara trim details, and a grey Alcantara headlining.
At its heart lies AMG's 6.0-litre biturbo V12, producing around 603bhp and an immense 738lb ft of torque, delivered to the rear wheels via a five-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission with paddle shift. Capable of effortless high-speed cruising or explosive acceleration, the SL65 remains one of the most impressive performance convertibles ever built.
It rides on the correct 19-inch split-rim AMG alloy wheels, finished with silver AMG brake calipers and wrapped in matching Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres.

Condition:
The Tellurium Silver paintwork presents well overall, showing light age-related wear, stone chips, and minor markings as expected from careful use. The lower front bumper has previously been repainted, with some lacquer peel and evidence of filler visible on its lower edge. Inside, the Grey Nappa leather and Alcantara-trimmed cabin remains in good order, with only light signs of use.

This SL65 AMG will be supplied with its original handbooks, a stamped service book, and a file of maintenance invoices, confirming diligent upkeep throughout its life.
