The FIRST BRABUS V12 biturbo Mercedes IN THE COUNTRY
Well, here it is. . . .as if the twin turbo V12 mercedes wasn't fast enough. . .a guy in my area sent his car to Brabus.
I don't know that much about the car, but my friend who works at the dealership was telling me a little bit about it. First, the car costs over 100 grand before you even send it to brabus. Then its another 100 grand for the modifacations. But you get a really nice car once its done. And thats an understatement.
They put in a new motor (still a turbo V12) new brakes, suspension, and much more. I really don't know all of the details. But the car is supposed to have at least 640hp, but I heard its more.
The owner said 0-60mph in 3.1 sec. The car is governed at 212mph. The car will go faster, but the tires are the limiting factor.
They said the serial number on the car is 0001. So this should be the first one in the country. The guy who owns it used to race professionally and said its the fastest car he has ever driven.
This car is beautiful. . . the interior has white carbon fiber inserts, its absolutely beautiful. And get this. . . .the front brakes are 12 piston!!!
Here is a pic, give me a second and I will have all the pics posted. . .

Yeah I know. . .my post really doesn't do the car justice. A lot of work/technology is in this car. Hopefully someone who knows more about them can chime in. But for example, I think the suspension makes changes when you put the pedal down to increase traction, the seats tilt on hard corners. . . you can see your tire pressure, oil level and pressure. . ect. . in a digital read out under the tach.
The cool thing is, when you get your car back, not only do you have a 700+hp luxery car. You have a reliable 700+hp car. As you guys know, its tough to have a 700hp car that is reliable enough to have a waranty.
The power is not only what impresses me, its that the car is tuned so perfectly that on the street you would have no idea it was pushing 700hp.
