Even the already extreme Black Series SL65 AMG is not spared by the tuners. The perpetrator this time is Brabus, which managed to coax 800 horses from the SL’s 6.0-litre V12 engine. 0-100 km/h is 3.2 seconds and you’ll only need 9.8 seconds to double that speed (the new 911 GT2 RS achieves the same 0-200 km/h time with half the number of cylinders!).
Best effort is 330 km/h, but most hands will already be shaking at the electronically limited 320km/h. That’s not the only thing that has been limited – after outworking themselves to create 1,420 Nm of torque from as 2,100 rpm, they decided to spare owners’ lives by pegging it back at 1,100 Nm.
Responsible for this insane performance is Brabus’ twin-turbo system that includes two special exhaust manifolds with integrated turbine housings. A specially made Brabus carbon-fiber hood scoop feeds four big intercoolers while a bespoke stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts are included. An ECU remap coordinates the altered ignition and injection timings.
Called T65, this car was a one off model done for a Brabus customer, but the famous Mercedes tuner has decided to go public with it. Customers can pick whatever they want from the Brabus catalogue. As you can see from the gallery, this car was finished in matte black while the interior is covered in breathable black leather and Alcantara. This particular owner specified stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated logos and the car’s name (Vanish) on the 360 km/h speedo and the brakes.

Insane car, one of the ultimate straightline machine.
Bonnet scoop a bit weird. Look like shaker-head for supercharge.

thats not c-class..it is slk…..n u should noted that the slk already been heavily modified
the Porsche link encountered error
i think you’re wrong on that..it’s 9.3 seconds to 124mph.
So brabus makes the demon into lucifer?? 1420 torque!! These amount of torque can spin the earth the other way round! FANTASTIC!
So brabus just made a demon into lucifer?? 1420 torque!! These amount of torque can spin the earth the other way round! FANTASTIC!
pointless….sl black is good in straight line only…whatmore for this brabus version..
gt2 rs way better…less hp,less torque,smaller engine,half the cylinders,cleaner[less co2 emission],faster,better handling,more practical…
RX8 And Miata is better… Easy to drive… beautiful looking… No need xtra effort to drive the cars… Fun and easy… Never drive RX8, but twice drive Miata(1999 model)… good handling, and relax… Dunno about Lotus elise,exige and evora.. but i think they are better than mazda… not to big engine, handling is very good..
pls compare the apple to apple….
The point is… Better buy cheaper car, but u get more fun…
The point is… you can’t afford it. Which rich person looking at this will ever compare that to a Mazda?
I have to agree with HirumaKecil.
alot of things are pointless when you’re rich and spendful. But why buy one? Because you can. It’s simply to make a point, rich people hardly buy anything for practicality.
Paul… Any news about Proton Exora jadi teksi 1Malaysia… Dengar cerita 3000 Exora akan dijadikan teksi… How about the spec??
pppppooooowwwwerrrrr!!!!!!!!
what that metal plate “one off vanish” mean..? weird german
Stupid car! Proton Juara is better! ;)
They changed those beautiful buckets seats from the SL to ones that look like their from the E coupe. And they changed the speed dials from white to red! OMG the insanity! Not a complain thou, just pointing out.
Wondering who’s that one-off customer is. A young, upcoming American entrepreneur? a European blue-blood? or an Arab Sheikh’s spoiled brat? With that ‘Vanish’ name, and the ridiculous mod figures, I am going for the latter.
Crazy car with crazy price… wohooooo!!!
I will only buy this car if I am billionaire.
