VIDEO: BRABUS STEALTH 65 BOASTS 600KW


This white lightening bolt you see here is called the BRABUS Stealth 65, a hyper machine based on the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 Black Series. But more serious. Much more serious. How serious? Try 603kW serious. Or 1420Nm serious. Gee, this thing is chasing the Bugatti Veyron practically!

I cannot imagine how BRABUS has placed all that force on the road, given how stubborn the normal SL 65 AMG is to get off its backside and do a proper 0 – 100km/h time. What they did though, was to install four intercoolers, remapped the engine control unit (ECU), redesigned the turbos and fitted a new high-performance exhaust system. The bonnet features a special see-through glass that allows you to see the engine.

Only one of these nuclear powerplants exists. It’s in Dubai and was done for a very special customer. I don’t even want to know how much he paid. Check it out on this YouTube video.

looks and sounds proper. With all that power will it be transferred onto the road? The SL AMG range has seemed to have a problem in that department, especially when it came to pull off as it would just spin in a white cloud of burning rubber. I do hope that Brabus have resolved that issue, as that would make this SL65 a phenomenal SL65.
