The German tuner Brabus is one of the most extreme Mercedes-Benz modifiers on the planet, as it likes to take AMG models and bring them to a new, unimaginable level of performance.

The company’s latest project not only follows this trend, but seems to give a whole new meaning to extreme tuning: the tuner has developed a one-off modification package for the Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series.

From now on, the story becomes pretty predictable, but this does not make it less delicious: the hypercar’s 6.0 liter V12 AMG engine, which originally produced 670 hp, now offers a whopping 800 hp.

This has been achieved through the use of new, larger, turbocharges, a new exhaust system and a gearbox that uses racing technology. The huge turbos required a dome to be installed on the hood, an element which doesn’t belong to the car in terms of styling, if you ask us.

Brabus has also fitted the car with an improved braking system, that can provide the necessary stopping power and offers a high level of fade resistance.

The unique hypercar comes dressed in a matte black paint and rides on its standard rims, which have received a black finish. Its interior features red stitching and multiple Brabus logos.

The project has been created for an (you guessed it!) Arabian customer, who chose to name the vehicle “Vanish”.

Brabus has not released any performance information for the tuned SL Black, but we expect mind-blowing figures, considering that the base vehicle gets rid of the first hundred in 3.8 seconds and likes to play until the speedo shows 320 km/h (200 mph).
