Wesley Snipes/Passenger 57 - he should have just payed his taxes…anyways, the new Mercedes Benz Black Series SL showed up today at Cars & Coffee in Irvine. Apparently I’m pretty jaded as Gerald showed up with his Veyron (which I’ve seen a bunch of times) and as everyone went after that, I walked over to the BS|SL.
If you want the specs on the BS|SL or want to know what makes it different from a standard SL63, go google it - I won’t get into it, just understand that it’s not nearly the same. Same platform, but entirely different…think Jessica vs Ashley Simpson (body not brains-wise people) LOL. So anyways here we go:
As usual…CLICK on the pics for higher res.
True Widebody…crazy fender flares / centerlock wheels. NICE.
Huge rear fender flare - notice the widened body near the light as well…great craftsmanship.
Fixed Rear pedestal style wing is a bit much IMO, I’ve seen other BS|SL’s with a smaller lip style wing that fit the look of the car better IMO. Nice CF rear diffuser.
Top rear 3/4 angle…you can really see where the body is widened (from a std SL63 aka Ashley) LOL.
Front 3/4 shot.
Full Frontal shot (insert Jessica joke here)
Overall a great car - not sure I’d pay $250K+ for it, but it’s definitely in a class of it’s own. AMG might have been trying a bit too hard here, as I think the CLK DTM was the last true car that really got “right” (hell, it lapped as fast as an Enzo) - The BS|SL gives off too much of a body kit vibe for me personally, although we all know it has an amazing engine & suspension to boot, the thought of someone asking me where I got my bodykit from would irk me at this pricerange….not to mention the wonderfully anchor type drop in value that takes place on all MBZ’s. No, I’m not bitter. LOL.
Especially after checking my iPhone and seeing the nice 427 point drop today…YIKES. Okay, back to better news. Let’s start with Nissan - releasing the all new Cube and 370Z. Hats off to an amazing release - great audio/video and [...]
