These Are The Best Cars I Saw At The 2023 Velocity Invitational

I suspect that the SL65 AMG Black Series that was parked next to the 575 GTZ Zagato belonged to the same owner, as every time I saw them they either traded spots or one was gone while the other stayed. I have huge respect for someone who owns two cars like this though. While not as rare as the Ferrari, the SL65 is rare in its own right and a monster of a car.

Just 350 of the R230 generation SL became the AMG Black Series, and 175 came to the U.S., where they cost $300,000 a pop. The modern SL has always been a heavy car, so when the SL Black Series came about, it got a 551-pound weight reduction from the combination of extensive use of carbon fiber, and the lack of the complex metal folding roof the regular SL received. The massive twin-turbocharged 6.5-liter V12 made 661 hp and had a claimed top speed of 200 mph.
