Just out of curiosity

Wondering if anyone has done the brabus engine swap ? Seems pretty silly considering it be much cheaper to get into a used and faster 63 but I am curious still .

You are right. It is silly.

I have no idea what the Brabus engine gives you but I do know when you add a more powerful engine and don't upgrade the drivetrain and brakes you are making a big mistake.

This is very true , Brabus rates the engine at around 330 hp but you can get there without a swap lol . Plus a turbo would probably make more power anyway .

I just tie 1000 - 2000 balloons to my car when I want to go faster UP style. Much cheaper than the Brabus swap
