The press around the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba may look more appealing than the Inland Taipan. But is it really a better Sports? As long as it's not as bad as the Leviathan, Philadelphia Motors should be happy with their results. We luckily have a test model to figure out where this vehicle stands in the market. And if it lives up to what the advertisements are saying about it.
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 409 hp @ 5510RPMs 5451 cc V10 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 4.698s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 188 mph. The Black Mamba is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 188 mph. With 312 lb-ft of torque we were able to drag 10531 lbs on our test trailer. So it can move your spare junk! When we took the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba out to the we were amazed at its ability to stick to the track. There was no need to let off the gas even on the tightest of corners. For a Sports the Black Mamba is extremely impressive. 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!!!
Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba. The Black Mamba has all the features you expect and more. The materials are soft, and the quality is good. Equally impressive was the comfortability of the seats. Philadelphia Motors did a great job.
The Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba is not exactly roomy. You can fit normal people in it, maybe a bag or two. But not much else. You probably wouldn't want to be in it for long, and your certainly wouldn't want to use it to transport anything in bulk. The Black Mamba's 16 cu-ft of passenger and cargo space leave a lot to be desired. Many vehicles in its class are much more spacious. So be warned. This may not be the perfect fit for you.
Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Philadelphia Motors in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.
If there was one vehicle I believe would be able to hit 1,000,000 miles easily it would be the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba. This vehicle was designed for dependability in mind.
The Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Black Mamba's 13.9 mpg is one of the worst in class. This might not be troublesome when you look at the numbers, but it will be when you actually have to pay for it.
Safety is another important topic on the minds of many. The Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba maintains the average amount of safety features for this type of vehicle. While not overly impressive, it should be enough to keep you alive in most cases. Don't expect miracles however.
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.
