In anticipation of its launch at the New York Auto Show next month, Mercedes has released a few official videos of the upcoming SL65 AMG Biturbo V12. Quite a mouthful to pronounce, but then, when you see the engine in this thing, you’re gonna be quite speechless. Twelve cylinders and twin turbochargers combine to pump out 630 horsepower, which should be adequate even for the more jaded automobile enthusiasts. Combined with a throaty growl emanating from those quad exhaust pipes, the engine’s pedigree won’t need further explanation.

Adding to the anticipation of the driving experience is the fact that this is a Mercedes roadster. Owners will surely be looking for those roads that suits their mood to go fast or slow, with the top up or down. At $300,000, the SL65 AMG is only for those with liquid portfolios, which should give the car a huge measure of exclusivity and status.
