Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series



Swabian (from Swabia, a historic region in Germany) tuner MKB has released a new tuning packing for the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series that gives the already powerful sports coupe more than 1,000-hp and a maximum torque of 959 lb-ft. The package, which is known as the P 1000, includes a revised ECU, new air intakes, bigger turbochargers, improved cooling systems and high performance camshafts. The automatic transmission has also been modified to offer a variety of limited slip differentials.

All those modifications allow the MKB Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series to go from 0-62 mph in 3.6 seconds, 0-124 mph in 8.9 seconds and 0-186 in 21.5 seconds. Top speed has been increased to an eye-watering 230 mph. The whole engine conversion is priced at €116,800 ($148,960 USD) and takes up to three months to perform.
