Brabus Vanish – Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series

The Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series is already an impressive car, but the Brabus tuning company had to modify it even further for a customer in Dubai. Calling it the Vanish, Brabus hooked up the Mercedes SL65 with larger turbos, huge brakes, a new transmission, matte black wrap, and a strange plastic piece on the hood to push 800 horsepower. The tuned Mercedes SL65 AMG features the 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 all concealed inside the complete carbon fiber body that shaved off a whopping 551 pounds. This raised the top speed to 199 mph, accomplished a 0-60 time in the three second range, but sadly only 350 will ever be made.

Enter all of the above modifications and you have the recipe for what is called the Brabus Vanish. The only problem with the custom Mercedes SL65 Black Series is that the transmission can’t handle the max torque of 885 lb-ft, so it has been limited to 737 lb-ft. However, the matte black car wrap on the Mercedes AMG flows well with the large blacked out wheels. Just what the heck is that on the hood of this tuned car?
