Default Brabus Merc coupe - 730hp, 974tq

Talk about a tire-spinning monster. I'm not sure if traction control wil be able to rein in a bruiser like this. Almost $450k though - ouch. And I don't think I'd want to pay the inevitable replacement costs on its 12-piston front calipers or its rear 295-30ZR21 tires either.

it's like the Brabus SL65 roadster, that thing has sooooooooo much torque it is just insane. Honestly I thought I'd ridden in some fast cars, but the SL redefines speed, and how often you replace the tires.



I want a Brabus some day, they are a merc after my own heart. It is why I call Merc's the German Muscle car, because they can go real fast straight but tend to lose their ability to turn when doing so God I want RWD now, just to smoke some rubber

one of those things passes me on the way to the holland tunnel every afternoon. The guy has a lead foot, and the car sounds awesome. But I inevitably see him in the gas station a mile later......

How can you even launch thatin RWD? That thing must spin the tires all the way through 4th gear!
