We’ve managed to get our hands on the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series, and thought it might be fun to bring along the sublime Ferrari 599 and mighty Porsche 997 GT2. Let us know what you’d like to see and know here on Dialogue, and follow us today and tomorrow on Twitter as we put all three to the test.

No contest for me at all,SL65 Black Series for me please..

This one is going to be an excellent read. Happily awaiting the test here.

Are you frikking mental?

....hrm... I'd take the Mercedes SL63 BS, the 997 GT2 RS or the Ferrari 599 Scuderia...

Lamborghini LP640 please

lmao at DR requesting dialogue on TWITTER! What has the world come to.

YES..

But really the other cars might faster around the track but how many times the owners of those cars are gonna and compete on a track not to mention individual driver skill,aside from that no other car on the road holds a candle to the SL65 BS.

U mean the SL65..

Tarek, I think he meant hardcore racing versions of these cars in DR's group test. For example, the GT2 RS and the 'Scuderia' version of the 599 - the latter being compensated for by the recently released 599 HGTE.

As for the SL63 BS comment, I would have to agree with dr Dunkel. As good and insane the SL65 BS is, (and it is good and insane), I can't help but think that in light of the praise heaped on AMG for the CLK BS, that the real SL BS should have always been a mental version of the SL63, and not the SL65.

Instead, what we have in the SL65 BS is a mental and slightly more hardcore version of the standard SL65, which to be honest, is truly outclassed in terms of agility and driver appeal by the SL63. Now, 10 out of 10 to AMG for the commitment and changes they brought in to make the 65 BS, but I do think their job could have been a helluva lot easier had they stuck to modifying the SL63 to be the base car of the SL BS.

Can you imagine a 571hp hardtop, lightweight car, with the MCT, an active spoiler and wider rubber? Priced at around £130-150K. In fact, as I type this, I can't help but think the SL65 BS was a deliberate move by AMG, because the very car I just mentioned in this paragraph is not too far away from release is it?

Very clever AMG, very clever.

While agree with almost all that except that i couldn't care less about the more agile cars in that test,so still SL65 BS for me..

And yes the SLS is just a few months away..
