I've posted these in the Merc section but thought others may like a look.
I couldn't hang around for the best compositions.....


I removed the reg cos... I don't fancy an Arab (or anyone else for that matter!)who clearly likes his privacy (glass..) hunting me down... eek

Any questions will be answered with completely random replies as I know nothing about it!

Pardon my ignorance but isn't that an SL63 AMG Black not a Brabus?

Consider yourself pardoned wink

As you can see on the rear, it says BRABUS and on the right it says VANISH. The brake calipers also had Vanish written on them.....
Now, as I said in my first post, I know nothing about the car, I just saw it, drove around it with the window open and took a few hasty pics for you guys....wavey

Interesting. This car doesn't seem to exist anywhere.

Nice big bulge on the bonnet. Presumably this is just an SL black with Brabus's own version of the 63 engine they use in other models?

That's what I was thinking, not even mentioned on Brabus' website, maybe just a very expensive one off?

I imagine it's something they do relatively regularly.

Would explain how they manage to function as a business.

Yes, I'm with you on this, but ugly in a very special way...
Fast, well, an hour after I took the pics it was seen doing over 500mph...eek
But, it was assisted by 3 GE CF6 jet engines...laugh

500mph? You're chatting st bro, my Golf does 900 easily now It's had it's cambelt done. I'd be expecting that to be keeping up with mine after the V Tec kicks in (yo) and the rear seats are folded flat. tongue out

Now, whilst I said I would answer any Q's randomly... this is actually true!cool
The CF6's mentioned here were/are attached to an MD11 Freighter aircraft..
Anyway, an Astramax will beat your Golf all day blablabiglaugh
