Philadelphia Motors is in a unique position with the Black Mamba. The Sports segment rules the Black Mamba market. While the Yeovil Donna 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 263 hp @ 4216RPMs 5451 cc V10 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 164 mph in an impressive 6.302s 0 to 60 mph. If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 263 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 8593 lbs which is amazing! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. The Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Sports. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it.

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.

When it comes time to get into the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba most people will find it to be a little tight. While the 16 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space does limit us, it is almost average for it's class. Overtime we got used to it. But we still think the folks at Philadelphia Motors should squeeze in just a little more space inside.

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.

I imagine it'll be rare to find a Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.

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!

From the looks of things, the engineers at Philadelphia Motors took the bare minimum approach. The Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba has just enough safety features and quality materials to keep you and your family safe in most instances. But don't expect much if it effected their bottom line. There is enough there to product their liabilities, thus protecting them from lawsuits. No more, no less. If you are focused on keeping your family safe, this is not the vehicle for you.

Some may be able to point to other Sports and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Sports. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
