One-off - Brabus Vanish!!!

Brabus Vanish: A Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series with 789-hp!

Producing a total of 661-hp from its 6.0L twin-turbo V12, the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series is far from anything but one of the most ridiculously fastest cars to come out of Stuttgart. However, if you’re German tuner Brabus, than too much horsepower is never enough.


The tuner has created a one-off modified SL 65 AMG Black Series known as the Vanish, which now produces 789-hp from its 6.0L twin-turbo V12. The extra increase in power comes from larger turbochargers and mating the engine to a quicker gearbox and exhaust.

The model was produced for someone special in Dubai. Oh and of course, everything looks better in matte-black and the Vanish’s exterior offers just that

All these Turbo/Intercooler/(3) water pumps/Metal racing cats/ECU mods & Brabus fetches NEARLY the EXACT same approximate RWHP as RENNtech ECU ONLY SL65 BS
Making the magic happen is the BRABUS’ T65 RS performance kit, which includes two enhanced turbochargers, a new intercooler with 4 water/air heat-exchangers, an additional radiator, three electric high performance coolant pumps, a dynamic pressure lowering metal catalytic converter and BRABUS’ software programming for the engine ECU.
Assuming both tuners using the most accepted drivetrain loss 18% RENNtech makes 630 RWHP here = 768 Crank HP vs Brabus @ 789 = EXACTLY 647 RWHP a NOT so stunning 17 RWHP gain over RENNtech's ECU only, so what gives here? Is RENN full of **** or NOT disclosing all mods to make this 630 RWHP?
