How many of you are fans of convertibles? Hands up. Your sheer numbers just goes to show that not everyone prefers a coupe, and that’s why Mercedes-Benz makes sure you’re never left out. That’s what the Cabriolet is for. It’s not just for the ladies, but for gentlemen as well—at least those who appreciate having the wind blow through their beard and chest hair. And just to make sure you don’t grow envious of Brabus owners, TC-Concepts has come up with their very own pimped out version of your favorite Cabrio.

The Mercedes-Benz tuner now offers a modification kit for the SL65 AMG Black Series, giving the coupe-slash-cabrio bigger balls of steel and a lot of attitude. Going by the name of EXESOR, the modification kit puts a 6.5-liter twin-turbo V12 monster of an engine into your SL65 AMG Black Series, plus a reprogrammed ECU and redesigned boost control. On the rear end of this behemoth is a new sports exhaust system that features a low backpressure catback system, while a modified sports air filter sits up front.

The stock AMG adjustable sports suspension will be modified with a lowering module, bringing down the action to as close as 60nm to the asphalt. The 20-inch TC Ultraspoke 3-piece rims with Dunlop tires—285/25 R20 upfront and 325/25 R20 on the rear—speak for themselves.

As for the body, we’ll just say there’ll be a lot of carbon-reinforced plastic and genuine carbon. Aesthetics are all there in the picture. What’s inside is for you to find out. So head on down to TC-Concept.

Neighborly love: The Brabus Stealth SL65 AMG Black Series

You just can’t get enough of Brabus, can you? Well, it’s all good. Brabus can’t get enough of the Mercedes-Benz SL65 either. Apparently, they couldn’t quite get over their creation of the 800hp Vanish SL65 AMG Black Series that they upped the bravado even more. Dubbed as the Stealth, it’s even more sinister and packs more teeth than the Vanish, making us envy those private Dubai customers even more.

Say, you have an SL65 AMG Black Series in its most basic form. It already has around 670hp, enough to make short work of almost anything that dares cross its path. Now, imagine adding a little bit more power to its engine. Let’s say, around 150hp more. So that’s a total of 820 skull crushing horses to shred the rear tires. Considering that Brabus’ customers have seemingly infinite dollar accounts, we’re sure they can buy all the rubber that they’ll need to keep their toys rolling. But they’ll need to spend on another luxury – speeding tickets.

You might be interested to know that the two ultra-lavish customers of the Vanish and the Stealth are neighbors. It’s really no surprise, isn’t it. Birds of the same value flock together? They’re like, “Hey, I like your toy. Where’d you get it?” and the Vanish owner says, “Oh, some toymaker named Brabus,“, and the other goes, “Can I have mine named Stealth?” Gnarly.

You remember the BRABUS T65 RS Vanish, don’t you? Well, guess what? BRABUS has just released to the press full details of their latest creation, including engines specs that’ll really make your eyes water with sheer want.

Based on their press releases, which happens to match what we previously told you, the RS Vanish will be able to catapult from zero to 62 mph at an astounding 3.6 seconds. Racing to 124 mph from a full stop takes less than ten seconds, and you’ll be able to accelerate up to 206 mph, if you request for the speed limiter which is set at 200 mph ‘for safety’. Who are they kidding, really?

Here’s what happens to a stock SL65 AMG upon transformation. First, a high-tech twin turbo system upgrade is done, including special exhaust manifolds each with its own turbine housings and high-end turbochargers. And then a quad of HUGE intercoolers sit under a carbon fiber hood scoop for maximum intake air cooling. On the exhaust side, BRABUS puts a stainless steel system with a free-flowing cat back. And finally, new electronic programming of fuel injection and ignition timing to push power up to 800 hp at 5,500 rpm and a teeth-breaking 1,420 Nm of peak torque at a low 2,100 rpm.

Do you remember now? Good. Now all you need is to drop BRABUS a hundred grand on your SL65 AMG.
