I generally try and not look at things like this because I salivate all over my keyboard and get uncomfortably jealous, but man...

All hail V12 Bi-Turbo... As Bodo Buschman, CEO/Owner of Brabus said "When you're driving a Brabus we have always...and this we guarantee always enough power." This was said on the Supercars Exposed show Super sedan's episode when Tanner test drove the CLS Brabus Rocket. There is a reason that Brabus was rated in 2006,2007,2008 and 2009 by Auto Motor Und Sport Mag as Best Tuner in the world.

Yeah, I was checking it out a little while back. It looks pretty nice. Pretty Similar to the last one with some real tasteful changes in styling. It seems like a lot of the changes on this year's whole line occur more in drive train, safety and other technologies.

That is where the S Class takes itself into a different league versus the rest, the safety, entertainment, electronics and comfort sets the benchmark. Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear said it right, if you want to know what will be in your family sedan 10 years from now buy today's S class.

I wonder if we going to have some LED solutions for our cars. In headlights or under in the front bumper like the newer 911's.

that might be the only drawback with Brabus.

That was very funny, isn't it amazing how badging technology works. The C32 and AMG badge he added made the extra power and torque difference to his car that it lacked in the beginning. If this is right perhaps he should add a V12 Bi-Turbo badge on the sides and gain another 5hp but a massive 500ft-lbs of torque. This guy must love rebadging mods. He must of said "It's cheap, environmentally friendly and adds instant hp."




That owner needs to be taught a lesson, if there is one thing I hate its posing.
