Default Brabus SLR

http://www.brabus-online.de/prog21e.htm







So its got 34 more brake than the standard car using a non road legal exhaust. Different wheels and a different colour interior trims.

What was the point I mean surely that engine could go somewhere near 750+ and still be reliable.

look @ it on those rims!!!!

I think they had to detune the engine as they couldnt get the transmission to cope with all the torque so get the bhp wasnt a prob

Oooof that looks much sexier than a normal one on those rims

That is a bit tame powerwise though.... normally Brabus go mad.

The Brabus Maybach did over 195 at Nardo last week I think

Looks a right weapon I'd hate to imagine what the deprecations like It'd be nice to own one though and not to have to worry about anything .....
