Feeling that the stock car&#8217;s outputs of 661 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque were merely a good starting point, Brabus upped the ante to 789 hp and 811 lb-ft on this T65 RS.<\/p>\n<p>To make the power, Brabus bolts more powerful turbochargers and new exhaust manifolds to the Black Series\u2019s 6.0-liter V-12 engine. There are four intercoolers, which require the addition of a carbon-fiber hood scoop to fit under the hood and allow them breathe properly. A reprogrammed engine computer and stainless-steel exhaust system round out the changes. Oh, and the modified engine still passes Euro IV emissions standards.<\/p>\n<p>Performance? Brabus predicts a 0\u201362 mph run of 3.6 seconds, identical to our 0\u201360 run in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/reviews\/comparisons\/09q1\/corvette_zr1_vs._sl65_amg_black_series_murcielago_lp640_viper_srt10-comparison_tests\">stock Black Series<\/a>. Top speed is capped at 200 mph, although the company says an unrestricted model could run north of 206 mph.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-21850\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The car seen here is unique and was special-ordered by a longtime Brabus customer. It&#8217;s customized with matte-black paint and a mix of red-stitched leather and Alcantara on the inside. If you like what you see, Brabus will sell you all the parts to turn your own Black Series into a T65 RS.<\/p>\n<p>Related posts:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/blog.caranddriver.com\/2010-mercedes-benz-sl65-amg-black-series-second-drive\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: 2010 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series &#8211; Second Drive'>2010 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series &#8211; Second Drive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/blog.caranddriver.com\/2010-mercedes-benz-sl65-amg-black-series-first-drive-review\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: 2010 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series &#8211; First Drive Review'>2010 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series &#8211; First Drive Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/blog.caranddriver.com\/2009-mercedes-benz-sl65-amg-black-series-%e2%80%93-official-photos-and-info\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series \u2013 Official Photos and Info'>2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series \u2013 Official Photos and Info<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even the most powerful Mercedes-Benz, the SL65 AMG Black Series, can\u2019t escape the hands of German tuner Brabus.
