How do you figure??

It does 124MPH in 9.8 seconds. It takes most guys with headers and a tune 11.ish seconds at the track with DR's to hit 124mph.

The Brabus biturbo ML63 produces around 650hp with 626trq. The M159 produces 700hp.

Why does it look like it has a ram air intake system with gaskets around the filter housings that appear to seal it up against a solid hood?

At those power figures 9.8 seconds to 200 km/h is a bit slow.

Traction... the missing link.

Doesn't it look like the hood is higher in the center? I think they have some sort of ram intake system on the bottom side of the hood that the air filters connect into.

With 800hp you would need slicks on a RWD car to get any sort of good run. It would be spinning the tires half way down the track.

For 800hp, they need something more in the rear rubber department to make all of the power meaningful. Having said that, it is still damn impressive IMO. The SLS does it in 10.9 so it is markedly faster.

I bet a rolling start where traction is less relevant would show a bigger relative gain.

Hard to understand why this car is not based on the BS widebody. It wouldn't cannibalize BS sales with this price tag anyway and would have looked much better.

The car (as it stands on those pics posted) looks tacky. Here's what i would personally do.

Remove the "B" logo on the front grille and replace it with a straight slat CF grille. Do a wide body conversion kind of like with the Black Series. Replace the tacky rims with a set of HRE 940RL's. Recaro SPG CF seats and call it a day!
