2009 Mercedes SL65 will be powered by a twin-turbo V12 generating 608hp and an amazing 738ft/lb of torque, no different from the previous generation making it one of the fastest sports cars in production.

The recently leaked SL63 AMG uses the new SpeedShift MCT transmission, but the last iteration of the Mercedes SL65 AMG made so much torque it had to use a different transmission from the rest of the line, so it’s possible this generation will do the same.

Appearance is not everything, but with all that power it would be proud of under the hood, it is something to consider. And the new Mercedes AMG models don’t disappoint: new aero body work and special side vents - most likely to allow more efficient cooling of the brakes and under-hood elements - new wheels and tires - combined with darkened bi-xenon headlights and other tweaks to make sure the AMGs stand out.
