It's owned by the Dubai royal family.

Is that speculation or fact? I noticed the Dubai export plates as well which kind of puts an end to the cool idea of it once being owned by a Yakuza boss.

I am pretty sure its owned by a guy who posts on MBClub that imported it from Dubai. I also saw the original ad for it on Dubizzle.

That's just gangster, probably has storage for ak 47s built in

Ooozes with coolness and road presence

Absolutely!

Saw this car at MB World couple of weeks ago. Bit of a monster!

Does the glass house rotate? Same design and engineering team then moved onto do the new A 45 AMG .

Saw this in the flesh the other day- the pop up reversing sensors made me smile

Would that be Ray Winstone and Vinnie Jones?

A boot full of bodies and a glove box full of pinky fingers.

Those wheels would have to go though.

All part of the look IMO. So hideously period they're cool.

[Baryonyx]

I love that. The thought of seeing those miles tick over at two a minute in absolute luxury, oh my.

If that doesn't scream owned by the Yakuza, then nothing does.

+1. I was about to make the same comment!

It's left hand drive too, which apparently the Yakuza insist upon.

All part of the Jap VIP thing, LHD makes the cars more exclusive and exotic apparently.

How about a bit of roof toop down action with a bit of power?

überwaftmobile. AMG also made a contemporary equal two door CL70 as can be seen in this vid. The guy who uploaded it is the owner of a s600l and attends the local W140 club . That is, what i think looking at his other uploads.

And indeed: Yakuza much.

That CL70... so much want... anyone know how many were made?

My word, I wouldn't keep the wheels, but what a beast of a machine. Setting off with a full tank of fuel to dominate a journey must be a very satisfying experience indeed.

To think most S-classes are diesel powered nowadays

[Adz The Rat]

Ridiculously cool

[graemel]

I owned the Brabus version a few year back. Awesome piece of kit and with 582bhp made it a little bit of a monster

[Lagerlout]

Yoiks that looks so benign too..!!

To think of my poor little S65 with it's measley 6.0... Think I have to steal this one from Brooklands!!

[GolfSupplierAU]

Definitely never heard of this!

That is a stunning machine, and what a rare beast.

I can only begin to imagine how that thing went!

Hats off to you, sir!
