The Sports segment is not for everyone. But the Black Mamba may be the vehicle for you. Philadelphia Motors sure hopes it is. So this week I took a trip down to Philadelphia Motors's headquarters to test out the Black Mamba. Luckily we've also tested the everyone else and the C this year. So we should be able to give you a verdict on how it stands in the Sports community.


On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Sports. The Black Mamba's 263 hp @ 4216RPMs 5451 cc V10 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 6.298s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 164 mph. The Black Mamba is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 164 mph. We found that with 263 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 8595 lbs. Do you remember those tea cup rides as a kid? Well the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba is like that, but faster. Literally this Sports can turn on a dime. She's that good. There was nothing we could throw at it to slow it down. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Sports I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!


When we got to interior testing on the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba we found it to be below average. While you wouldn't want to use this vehicle on a road trip, it is comfortable enough for short rides and tiny commutes.

For this type of vehicle, the cargo space and practicality of this vehicle is sub-standard. At 16 cu-ft the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba is bested by several models in this segment. If you need space, look elsewhere.

The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Black Mamba seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.


It is a rare occurrence to see the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba in the shop. These are some of the most reliable vehicles in the segment made. Philadelphia Motors knows how to build a machine that will last the ages. No planned obsolescence here.

Whether or not the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Black Mamba awful fuel mileage of 14.0 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!

With that said, I would not trust the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba with my kids. The risk adverse should avoid this vehicle due to its horrible safety features. This is probably why the dealership makes you sign a wavier before driving it.


When it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba is one of the best Sports on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Sports, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Black Mamba. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
