R129 SL Brabus??

so i will have to go see this car soon, i enquired about if it is a real brabus or just badges but still no answer. Car is a 1995 located in Canada.
Its up for sale, price unknown, but for sure i will go give it a shot.
Now what do you think? might it be real? if t ever existed what engine spec it was rated at?

The kit and dash appear to be correct...
Quite a few engine variants from Brabus..6,8,12 cylinder...

Most common:

i drove an r129 brabus here in leb it had 6.5L V8 making 440hp and it was might fast for its time. unfortunately Mitsubishi Evos have altered what we think of what a fast car is. but still an SL with 440hp is no sloth

might be one of the japanese market, only having the body kit!
pictures of the engine bay are not provided but even if its just a kit, it looks very legit to me.
Jay...evo time will come, but not for now. I still prefer german car feeling...next in my plans would be a supercharged E46 M3
