Taiwo Onalaja’s thoughts: The SL 65 AMG is an absolute BEAST in terms of raw performance and driving dynamics - the maximum output of the AMG V12 6-litre Biturbo engine is up from 450 kW (612 hp) in the previous model to 463 kW (630 hp). The maximum torque is 1000 newton metres.  The monstrous V12 is capable of an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds flat, with the 200 km/h mark attained after just 11.8 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h because of driving regulations - This is extreme engineering,  effortless superiority and stylishness to perfection.
