My new SL65 Black series

Well, I just got back from accepting delivery of my new SL65 Black. It has all of 1.7 miles on it, so I drove it about 30 feet straight into the Motorwerks showroom to have a full clear bra installed on Monday. Hope you enjoy the detailed pics.

Some details of note: There are some interesting details on the underside of the car.

1) In addition to the CF bodywork, there are CF brake cooling ducts.
2) Swaybars are manufactured by H&R.
3) There are dual differential coolers.
4) Exhaust is by Eisenmann.
5) Wheels are made in Italy.
6) Airboxes are much larger than on my CL65.

For today, I enjoyed just staring at the impossibly wide, aggressive bodywork under the showroom lights for a very long time. Stay tuned for driving impressions next week.

Stunning! I particularly like the details as well. That secondary aircooler seemed very exposed? What did that cool?

You are right, Gustav. The dual differential coolers (there is a twin of that one on the other side of the diff) do hang precariously low. There is a mesh screen to protect against debris, but lets just say I won't be negotiating any speed bumps in this one.
