This morning, as I sat stuck in the slow moving death march that is Los Angeles traffic, I let myself wonder what it would be like to commute in a monster truck. I could just honk my horn and roll right over the unmoving masses with impunity. Well, until the cops showed up, obviously. That’s […] More »

German tuner BRABUS has just released its latest offering: the BRABUS 800 Roadster, based on the Mercedes-Benz SL 65AMG. True to its name, the car, which will be shown off at the Geneva auto show next week, gets to 800 horsepower thanks to its BRABUS-tuned 12-cylinder bi-turbo 6.0-liter V12 engine.

The BRABUS T65 RS tuning allows the engine to reach optimum performance. The engine contains specially developed high-performance manifolds, with high-perf turbochargers and integrated turbine housings. In addition, there are four intercoolers.

Even when empty, it still manages to weight well over three tons. Basically, this is the baddest G-Class […] More »

But Mercedes? That’s a name synonymous with high technology. Composite materials. Aluminium alloy. You’d be right too, at least when talking about a […] More »

Meet the AG Excalibur. You might be thinking that this is not a Mercedes. In fact, you might be thinking that this is a mobile weapon designed to assault the sensibilities of Mercedes fans. But it’s neither of those things. This is a coach built car the bones of a 2005 CL500. The chassis and the engine […] More »

Brabus is best known for turning mild-mannered Mercedes into brutally powerful road cars. So it’s with a quizzical eye that we look on their latest work: the Brabus A-Class. To be fair, Brabus is deals in all Mercedes. It’s just that we’re used to seeing the fire breathing torque monsters that haunt the dreams of […] More »
