Is it possible to make the most powerful production Mercedes of all time, the
SL 65 AMG Black Series, even more powerful, faster, more spectacular and
exclusive? Brabus proves this can be done. Equipped with T65 RS package, the
high-performance model delivers even more power and becomes even more elite. T65
RS tuning bumps power output to 800 hp. With it, the two-seater accelerates from
rest to 124 mph in just 9.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of more than 206 mph
(330 km/h). In the upholstery shop at Brabus, the interior can be clad in a
sporty yet elegant combination of the finest leather and Alcantara, giving it an
even more striking ambiance. Further Brabus options are special paintjobs such
as the matte black shown here or the customization to customers individual
specifications that will make it a true Brabus one-off with custom-designed
personalized logos on the illuminated scuff plates and the speedometer.
Brabus T65 RS tuning unleashes the inherent power reserves of the Black Series
engine. It includes the Brabus high-tech twin turbo system that includes two
special exhaust manifolds with integrated turbine housings and high-performance
turbochargers. Four generously dimensioned intercoolers are placed beneath the
space created by the Brabus carbon-fiber hood scoop. The special Brabus
stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts
was specifically designed for the Black Series power upgrade.
Newly
programmed engine electronics with special mapping for injection and ignition
coordinate the perfect interaction of all high-performance components and at the
same time ensure that the engine meets strict EURO IV emission limits. The
high-tech lubricants for the entire
powertrain are supplied by technology partner ARAL.
The T65 RS engine
delivers 800 hp at 5,500 rpm and an even more impressive peak torque of 1,047
lb-ft, available already at a low 2,100 rpm. Peak torque is limited
electronically to 811 lb-ft.
Powered by this engine, the Black Series
coupe delivers truly superlative performance: From rest the sports car, weighing
in at a mere 3,957 lbs sprints to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, and reaches 124
mph after just 9.8 seconds. The car could reach a top speed of more than 206 mph
(330 km/h) but for tire safety reasons top speed is limited electronically to
200 mph (320 km/h).
The Brabus upholstery shop creates a special sporty
and luxurious interior to customers exact specifications, down to the last
detail. The power comfort seats offer excellent lateral support without
constricting the occupants. In this true Brabus one-off car, made to the
specifications of a longtime customer, they are upholstered in an exclusive
combination of especially soft and breathable black leather and Alcantara. The
same materials are found on door panels, headliner and dashboard. Precision-sewn
red seams add striking highlights to all interior elements.
Stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated logo and the speedometer that
sports the car's name were also custom-made for its owner.
All components
are available for any Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series.
