When Mercedes built the SL65 AMG Black Series, they weren't messing around. A 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 producing 670 hp to the rear wheels in a hardtop coupe that makes Darth Vader look friendly.
But for some, factory power is merely a suggestion.
Enter Brabus and their one-off Stealth 65 – now for sale in Dubai for those with $462,800 burning a hole in their exotic car fund.
The Monster Mercedes That Mercedes Couldn't Build
The standard SL65 Black Series was already a unicorn. Only 350 units worldwide, 175 for the US market.
Brabus took this rare beast and unleashed their T65 RS kit on it.
The result? A mechanical middle finger to restraint: 820 hp and a borderline irresponsible 1,047 lb-ft of torque.
That's a 20.7% power increase over the standard Black Series.
It's also 3.8% more powerful than Brabus' previous SL65 creation, the Vanish edition.
Engineering, Not Marketing
The Stealth 65 isn't just a chip tune and some badges. Brabus completely reworked the powertrain:
- Redesigned turbochargers with larger compressors
- New intercoolers with multiple heat exchangers
- Additional radiator and advanced coolant pumps
- High-performance exhaust system
- Completely remapped ECU
The result catapults this German missile from 0-62 mph in approximately 3.6 seconds with a top speed hovering around 200 mph.
One-Off Details That Matter
Visually, the Stealth 65 wears its menace with purpose.
Two-tone paint scheme with a black roof. Carbon fiber hood. Carbon mirror caps. Carbon rear spoiler. Black wheels.
Inside, it's all business with black and red leather trim.
With 5,579 miles on the odometer, this one-off creation has been driven – not just collected.
The Ultimate SL65 Black Series
The Brabus Stealth 65 represents the most powerful Brabus-tuned SL65 Black Series in existence.
It takes a car that was already at the extreme edge of Mercedes engineering and pushes it further into territory where few production cars dare to venture.
For the price of a modest house, someone in Dubai will soon own the most extreme version of one of the most extreme Mercedes ever built.
The rest of us will just have to make do with our dreams and YouTube videos.
