RE: Brabus uprates Merc SL600

[Dr S]

yes, it's a pointless car but that's the point...

[MidnightDriver]

This car is the dogs bollox! the only people who cud possily hate it are the ones with the ad-lightness-colinchapman-gordanmurrey-esq mind set,to them this car is the eqivalent of johny vegas outrunning johny depp.
Ps did any one see the brabus supercar at the british motor show? i forget wot it was called but i remember it was blue and it kinda looked like a saleen S7?

[petkee]

another barking-mad creation from Brabus. although i would never consider something like this sl or the rocket, even though i do have a slightly modified brabus 209 clk, thank god for the engineers @ brabus for the balls to create some so outragous.

Wow, a tuned German car that doesn't look like it came out of the arse end of Max Power magazine...

[imperialism2024]

So for those of us with a Hennessey Venom 1000 Twin-Turbo 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 and a Lingenfelter 2005 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Twin-Turbo 427 in the garage, how much is the "torque limiter delete" option?

The Barabus TKR. Built by an British company; no relation to Brabus as far as I know. See here: www.barabus.info/index.asp

Been discussed a couple of times on PH. Do a search.

so true, even my "tuned German car" would agree but Mr Bovensiepen frowns on such things

I saw somewhere, recently, an '02 S65 AMG for sale at around £60k with 4 miles on the odo.

No you didn't. They S65 came out in 2004. There was a small run of S63/CL63s IIRC in around 2002, which weren't bi turbo monsters. Or perhaps it was an S55.

Mercedes Leeds had a 2004 S65 with 25K on the clock up for £65K last month. And they recently sold a 2004 CL65 with 25K on the clock... to me !!!

People who moan about it being a lardy car don't understand what they're about, they're luxury GT cruisers, not stripped out track cars (for that I have my 333bhp Audi-powered Elise).
