Only 1100Nm of torque???? C'mon brabus, you can do better than that...

And is it just me or is anyone else getting tired of seeing new Brabii with Monoblock 6's? They could do with a fresh look, the 6s have been around for several years now... roll on Monoblock 7s

what I want to know is. how did they get hold of the S Class in the pictures? as this isnt sorted fully for public release then i have to guess that Brabus have been given a commisson for sorting something out with them. handling perhaps? maybes fiddling with it before it gets known as an AMG?

but will one make an apearance as an F1 safety car like all the last models have so far?

They get preproduction models to play with months before M-B releases them to Joe Public...

I saw a couple of new S-class's on low loaders whilst in Germany a few weeks ago, going to dealers I guess

Looks very nice - dont like the back end though...

I wonder what it’d do on the ¼ mile… I like the look though I’m beginning to think that black is the new silver… I wonder if the four little fog lamps are Xeon to match the headlights...

The back wheels need to be much much wider so the torque can become useable. Then you could get a good time but probably at the expense of the boot and back seats.

Like the look though.

Check out this video to see a S600r doing high 11's all day... smoking everything!

I love this site!

PS The little r stands for Renntech... not sure though from their site I think this version has 625HP and 745lb/ft which is a lot of Nm!

There was a new S-Class in a showroom when I was in Portugal last month.

Nice but if you're going to spend that kind of money, I'd rather have the Brabus CLS;

The real crazy thing is that these mercs with that engine and spec whatever the model are going to cost in excess of £250,000. My MB is a late 95 S600L that was not converted to full Brabus SV12 spec until 1999. It must have cost the plus side of six figures to do the conversion (the guy is a hotelier in germany ?). I found the car on the mobile.de web site and bought it from a small car dealer in germany 2 years ago. The car owes me £30K. Occasionally I have spoken to Brabus in Germany and they are very helpful. The last guy I spoke to at Brabus knew the car and had driven it many times. He said I know your car its fully loaded and blue black metallic a beautiful car. He then said that the hotelier part exchanged it for a brand new full Brabus spec S Class. Brabus gave him 20,000 euros in part exchange. Thats a frightening amount of depreciation. For that extra half a second to 60 and 6mph I'll think I'll wait a few years.
