Merc tuner reveals one-off supercar based on the SL65 AMG Black Series

Mercedes tuning specialists Brabus has revealed a one-off supercar based on the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series.

The Brabus Vanish uses the same 6.0-litre V12 as the standard car, but power increases from 661bhp to 789bhp. This power gain has occurred thanks to the addition of larger turbochargers and a new sports exhaust system.

Brabus has also fitted its own upgraded suspension and braking systems.

The car is finished in matte black and also finishes black alloy wheels and an all-black interior. Styling changes include new bumpers, side sills and a new bulge in the bonnet to house the larger turbochargers.

How can you launch a one-off?

It looks very purposeful or something off the set of the next bond film, take your pick.

I love the Matte black paint on this and the RS Focus the other week though.
