Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series photoshoot!

Chewy734 · 08-14-2010, 09:20 PM

Earlier today, I had the opportunity to play with an awesome SL 65 AMG Black Series. The car was brand new! Pictures cannot describe how beautiful this car was in person, and the exhaust made it a true Merc. Due to potential legal reasons, we weren't allowed to take pics of doing donuts in the warehouse.

Hopefully you guys enjoy the photos below, as I'm just an amateur. We had our photographer there who is still working on post-processing the pics he took. Once I have them, I'll be sure to post them here as well.

I was saying the same thing to someone else earlier today. That warehouse was huge, and it looked so tiny in it!

The C63 is a beast... this one is just on a whole other level.

Thanks... Honestly, the warehouse was pretty dark except for the blaring sun coming in through the windows, and the car was mostly black and white. So, I decided to stick with that theme. Don't like it in B&W?

It was... the sun was glaring through the windows causing those hot spots in my photos despite the matte finish.

Perhaps next time. They have two at the dealership, one silver and this one. Although they've sold 7 in the past year, I don't think these will be gone so quickly (at over $300k each).

I guess that's good... right?

I shot these handheld using natural lighting, since the photographer was using my tripod for his flash.

Yeah, I think these were AMG wheels though (which are still very pricey). This car barely needs any mods to look, feel, or sound any better, imo.

sold 7 in one year...thats real good
I guess the rich gets richer

Yeah, for sure. Honestly, in this bankrupt city, I'm really surprised there are so many rich people living here. This dealership is the #2 dealership in the US that sells Maybachs, and it's not even a Maybach dealer! And it's the #1 SLR dealer in the world! Who the hell is buying that car here when it snows like 6 months of the year?!?

PlannBee · 08-14-2010, 11:43 PM

the long cracks in the cement in the wearhouse really make this car look like a diecast model. and its matte white? looks gloss to me.

but that are is amazing! i heard on the freeway racing against a busa and the sound of that v12 is brutle!
