SL65 or not SL65?

I've sold my mustang and now tootling around in a rental, its not great. But found this advert and thought it sounded like a good town car...

But is the SL65 AMG not suppose to be a bi-turbo V12? If this is, as I suspect it is, a SL500 V8 or at best a SL55 AMG with some rear badge alterations (as it looks like its missing 4 cylinders and also the AMG body kit) - its not a V6 SL350 but pretty sure its not a SL65 AMG, how can you really tell, any SL guru's that can solve the mystery?

Yes, pretty convinced she is not a SL65 and not an AMG, think its a SL500 - but that is fine for my modest needs of town driving. Im going to have a look at the weekend and use the argument the car is a pretender to work the price down to a more realistic figure. If I buy will strip the badges, would be more concerned if it was a SL65 that was crashed then rebuilt as a SL65 with SL500 parts - sure a inspection will clarify this. Thanks for the guidance, had my suspicons and thought some p'headers would know the difference.

Black is a bit of a problem with the dust but get on well with my local car wash. Does look great when its clean and sparkling.

Ideally yes, but since their is not a great deal of choices to pick from it might have to be as good as it gets.
