Philadelphia Motors is in a unique position with the Black Mamba. The Sports segment rules the everyone else market. While the Black Mamba is the worst vehicle in the segment. Where does the Black Mamba fit between these two extremes? Should consumer celebrate Philadelphia Motors's new Sports? Or is this just another underachieving vehicle in the Sports segment?

The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Sports is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 304 hp @ 4617RPMs 5451 cc V10 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 171 mph in an impressive 5.626s 0 to 60 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 277 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 9166 lbs! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. Once in a blue moon a vehicle comes around that really wows us on the track. The Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba is that vehicle! This Sports sticks to the road like a race car. It has so much grip that it could probably run well at Monaco! This vehicle is amazing in the turns. We drove it until it ran out of gas, that's how great it is.

Once track testing was over it came time to look at the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba's interior. We found that it was very bare bones. So much so that we could not stand to be in it for long. It seems Philadelphia Motors was trying to make something retro by filling the vehicle with decades old styling and gadgets. We recommend looking at other vehicles if you plan on buying a long range vehicle.

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.

The workmanship put into the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Black Mamba is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Philadelphia Motors has perfected the perfect.

The Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba did very well on our dependability tests. We did not have any major issues in long term testing. The minor issues we did have were easy to resolve and not very costly. We believe that the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba is dependable enough for even the most unknowledgeable owner. It proper care and maintenance, even if done by a shop, the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba should last a very long time.

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 13.9 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!

With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.

When it comes to Sports there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba the best Sports I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
