As you may remember, last month we brought you the first details of the BRABUS T65 RS Vanish – the super-tuned Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series with an output of some 800 horsepower. Today, BRABUS has officially issued the Vanish’s full specs, and while they match what we previously told you, can you really get tired reading about an 800hp SL65 AMG? Of course not, so here again is the rundown. Zero to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds. Zero to 124 mph in 9.8 seconds. A top speed of over 206 mph, electronically limited to 200 mph. This is the BRABUS T65 RS Vanish.
Making it happen – the BRABUS T65 RS tuning program. A BRABUS high-tech twin turbo system that includes two special exhaust manifolds with integrated turbine housings and high-performance turbochargers; four generously dimensioned intercoolers beneath the BRABUS carbon-fiber hood scoop; a BRABUS stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts; and newly programmed engine electronics with special mapping for injection and ignition all serve to bump power to 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW at 5,500 rpm and an even more impressive peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft), available at 2,100 rpm (peak torque is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm).
It’s a thing of beauty, and if you’ve got an extra $100,000 (approximately) to spend customizing your SL65 AMG Black Series, it’s yours. For the full list of BRABUS T65 RS Vanish Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series enhancements, you can find the full details in the press release below.
