"Still Shot" from video

"Still" from Video (Below):

"We're" confused ? (No Royalty involved)

You start off talking about a "Brabus" S124
[And yet your signature on this forum lists a "1992 300 TD Turbo"
Which (if it existed)(and it doesn't in the U.S.) would be a
"Mercedes Turbo-Diesel Station Wagon" of some size or the other.
"T" in the U.S. designates a Station Wagon (or Estate).]

In the U.S. you could have one of two diesel models in 1992:

124.128 (a W124 chassis) 692.962 5cyl Turbo-Diesel engine. (4Dr Sedan)
[In the U.S. this combo was designated a 300D,
Everywhere else on Planet Earth it's called a 250D]
or
140.134 (a W140 chassis) 603.971 6cyl Turbo-Diesel engine. (4Dr Sedan)
[In the U.S. this combo was designated a 300SD]

Historically,Mercedes Benz of North America has designated the Largest
chassis available by the "S" nomenclature.

So the American Cousins begin frantically searching their catalogs when
something is called a S124
(It makes no sense to us the Two ["S" and "124"] are mutually exclusive.)

I know MB does some Hinky things with model designations.
Example: They're now producing a 2 door coupe CLAIMING it's an "E"-Class,
when in actual fact it's built on the SMALLER "C" class Monoque setup.

Coffee suppliers try the same foolishness when they CUT a Pound (16 Ounces) of coffee to 13 ounces and still charge the same price.
