Brabus E V12 Coupe
The recipe for the E V12 coupe is essentially the same as the one followed to create the E V12 sedan: Take Mercedes’ 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-12 from the S600; enlarge it to 6.3 liters by widening the bore, sliding in new pistons, and popping in a new crankshaft; stir in a unique intake system and new camshafts; and then stuff the thing into an E-class coupe. The result is a 788-hp, 1047-lb-ft Höllenhund that Brabus says will rip and snort its way from 0 to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds, from 0 to 124 mph in 9.9 seconds, and from 0 to 186 mph in 23.9 seconds. Top speed is limited to 217 mph, but the car is capable, the company says, of 230-plus.
The car’s exterior modifications are just as eye-popping as all of that numerical ridiculousness. As blacked-out as possible without actually being a power outage, the E V12 coupe gets a wicked body kit that tacks on carbon-fiber front fender bits, carbon-fiber rear fender flares—the better to cover the necessary wider rear rubber—a carbon-fiber rear diffuser, and a rear spoiler that Brabus says is “essential for well-balanced aerodynamics at high speed.” The interior sees illuminated sill plates, carbon-fiber trim all over the place, and a new steering wheel.

I agree that it is primarily just to show what the tuner can do. IMO, there are more exciting cars out there (at the $$$ level). Take this for instance:

A bit more but if you've got $655K to drop on a car, you probably have $1.5m.

While these insane tuner flagship cars are rarely (if ever) 'worth it'... bravo to Brabus on this one; their w212 EV12 sedan was pretty ugly - this one appears much more unified in its menacing posture, from a layman's styling perspective anyway.
