Discounting supercars, this car was unrivaled by proper grand tourers for another 16 years. It wasn’t until the new Bentley Continental GT Speed plug-in hybrid came out. Again, excluding supercars.

I remember seeing this car parked near my street back in 2023, it’s a shame that it’s been gone since

And there is no way that this car is more than 14 years old, and is still faster than all RS cars, I feel sad about Audi Literally the only purpose of Audi is to show that other companies are better, even Ioniq 5 N are faster 😂,
Ioniq 5 N 0-100 3.3s 0-200 11.3s 1/4 MILE 11.0s
RS7 Sportback Performance (fastest RS car) 0-100 3.2s 0-200 11.3s 1/4 MILE 11.3s

Don't come and tell me why I didn't compare it to the RS e-tron, it's just a Hyundai.
Don't come and tell me that the Hyundai is electric and the RS is an internal combustion engine and it's not fair to compare them, it's just a Hyundai.
(I am not saying that I will take a Hyundai over an Audi, but what I am saying is that Audi are very slow)

Not gonna lie, considering how much weight the car has in the front with that huge V12 engine and the massive power while also having 1000 Nm, this would probably be one of the scariest modern Mercedes you could possibly drive.

If the regular SL65 can go 338 unlimited, I'm convinced this thing could go 350.

It can't be so slow at Nurburgring with such a chassis just can't

The cars weight is its own enemy, shave at least another 300kg, install a manual box, probably make it a 4wd and I'm sure there will be noticeable effects

I think the non-black series looks better...

Yeah, indeed. A manual gearbox would fit this V12 monster much more than automatic having more fun. And maybe then the speed limit would be taken off?

This car is very slow... all those looks, all that carbon fiber, all that power and torque, all that price, all that crapy ride, and no folding roof...

Sorry but it is slow as hell...

Despite being a little strangely built, I\'m kinda taken by this car. My guess is this car 1) needs a really good driver and 2) is highly dependant on chassis superiority on tracks.

Stig did a big powerslide at his TopGear lap with the SL65... Hockenheim flying lap, TopGear standing start lap... always a big question how Stig take off with traction controlls off. Track conditions..the Ford GT did no damp lap it was completely dry..
