The Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series is already a screamer out of the box. What more could you want out of the 670hp twin-turbo V12? How about another 130-horses from a set of bigger turbos, a new gearbox, bigger brakes and a new exhaust? That's exactly what BRABUS does to the new SL65 AMG Black Series and then calls it the new Vanish.

The definition of Vanish – To pass quickly from sight : Disappear : to pass completely from existence. Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking when you have 800hp on tap! This car was properly named, I give them that.

The only vanishing that will do is into a cloud of smoke created by zero traction off the line. I would assume an HSV would keep up until blurry speeds.

What's an HSV?

[skillionaire]

Pfft. Google hennessey and all the TERRIBLE customer car problems they have had over the last few years. Fucking atrocious. I wouldn't send my Excel there. Hectic Sik Vehikool.

My grammar eyeballs complained.

[skillionaire]

Really? The rule of an/a used before H is up to the pronunciation/aspiration of the word following. In this case, in the queens english, we would pronounce the H of HSV as 'ache', thus making the usage of AN HSV a perfectly sound application. Thanks for stopping by and having a go at me though. Most appresshiattod.

Apparently english people can pick and choose when they use an / a. AN hour, because it's a silent 'h' A unicorn, because it starts with a consonant. I don't get it. I've always used it for vowels. Who knows, crazy poms.

[skillionaire]

English as in the language we speak, not the country. Americans will often refer to 'an herb garden' - because they pronounce it "'erb". Strange but true. Like I said, it depends on the pronunciation/aspiration of the particular word in the local accent being used.

My local accent is Fremantle.
