Carrera GT, but those sex kittens can't touch the torque offering of the SL65, and more important, they aren't cars that can be used daily as easily as can the SL65, which is no more difficult to drive every day as the half-as-expensive, half-as-powerful SL500. There are a few things that make the SL65 worth the extra $90,800 over an SL500, one of which is the twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12, a 467cc-larger version of the engine in the SL600.
All that oomph makes it nearly impossible to launch the SL65 hard without excessive wheelspin. Hang on for 11.9 seconds , and you'll be going 123 mph, 3 mph faster than the SL600. Finding the difference between the two V-12 SLs is like trying to distinguish whether a young Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson punched you—either way, your head is going to ring.
The SL65's brakes have deep reserves that stop the 4494-pound roadster from 70 mph in 160 feet. All SLs come equipped with Mercedes' Sensotronic brake-by-wire system that is a bit grabby and difficult to modulate as one comes to a stop. Other than that caveat, the brakes give no hint of fade and inspire confidence when you kick the pedal at 145 mph.This Benz needs a lot of room to exercise.
