Holy

That thing looks awesome, almost scary.

There is absolutly no room in that engine bay and look at all the modifications to the firewall! I wonder how much this thing costs and how fast it is.

Thanks for posting that.

i wonder how often you'd have to replace the hood pad and the wiring harness.

maybe it's part of the scheduled maintenance

Daesun: does the article say what the wheel and tire sizes are?

Imagine...top speed of 307kph = 190mph

No Mercedes emblems??

Is it common for Brabus to completely de badge their cars?

Yeah, nose-heavy is right! I'm sure that Brabus designed some custom shocks and springs to bear the wieght (if the S600's don't bolt right up).

Gosh, driving a M119 regularly, it's just hard to imagine how hot that sucker must run!

Check out the wiper-panel vents I'd like to cofirm if that's looks-only or if for increased induction...

Regards,

It doesn't have the 500E/E500 front valance ... no fog/driving lights.

I love the (subtle) forced air intakes (only two ports) with the light wipers in place. Very clean.
