This 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG represents one of AMG’s most ambitious and over-engineered production cars, powered by a hand-built 6.0L twin-turbo V12 producing 604 horsepower and monumental torque. Built in limited numbers and originally priced at $183,700, the SL65 combined supercar performance with flagship Mercedes luxury, featuring AMG suspension and braking, premium leather interior, advanced technology, and a power retractable hardtop.
