Brabus are well known in the tuning scene for making anything AMG even more bonkers. This takes the biscuit however and I shall tell you why, or show you......
I haven't seen these wheel covering on anything European at all, looks like the old American low riders from back in the day. These wheel coverings are part of the lightweight Brabus carbon fibre body conversion, which was actually wind tunnel-developed. After some more digging apparently the coverings are called “speed spads”. Turns out there are only 10 cars produced like this, bluddy rare then.
Obviously Brabus based these on a Merc E-Class. Apart from the bodykit not much was changed, oh no wrong again...… A lot was changed, the whole interior, limited slip diff, new sports exhaust system and they may have plopped a Brabus developed V12 with two turbo's in it. I think it produces 800bhp (don't quote me on that).
You can pick this bad boi up for £150K, expensive until you realise it was 498,00 Euros when new (2011).
