NAME: 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
The SL65 is one of the most well known Mercedes supercar killers, but when you ask most people, they’ll probably describe the 2008/9 SL65 and its Black Series model. The 2013 SL65, however, is often overlooked. Despite being a V12 powered performance roadster, it wasn’t any different from the SL63 AMG (which cost way less), making it roll away from the shine of the previous models.
It was also Merc’s most expensive roadster to the line, adding to its underappreciation.
