They did and it was slower than the Brabus 500e !! 200kg of extra weight on the r129 will mean it's always slower ! With a Brabus 500E, you can travel 4 people and still be quicker ! talbir

It is my Lottery win car and I must have it. So, anyone who has ANY information on the car, articles, pictures etc please pop them up as I would be very interested indeed. Dave!
