What could possibly be more hard-core than the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series? Why, a Brabus tuned version, painted matte-black, of course. Living up to the unofficial Brabus slogan of “Fast, Black and Expensive” the world-renowned Mercedes tuner has built a one-off SL65 AMG Black Series for an private client in the Middle East.

According to a report by TopSpeed, the already potent SL65 AMG Black Series gets upgraded turbos to boost output from 670-hp to 800-hp. Other upgrades include modifications to the transmission, upgraded brakes and a massive exhaust system – not to mention plenty of custom Brabus details inside, with red stitching, Brabus logos and a special “Vanish – One Off” plaque just above the shifter.
