'03 E55 Estate
Absolutely beautiful car! Well done.
Do you have any info regarding what gearbox has been fitted by Brabus with this conversion? With the monster power this car makes I wonder whether there were needed any mods to make the gearbox withstand it. At the same time it is also surprising that you had to ship your car to GAD to get the power Brabus claimed your car made.
I am a big fan of estate cars (wagon for those in the US) so the same engine/the same level of power in the E-class estate car would be a definite winner for me!

I think you got a E63 too? I was bored and looked at the E V12 by brabus.. I couldn't stop LoL'ing
It's for aerodynamics for speeds 300+, but hell who would drive this around
P.S - don't brabus your E63!!

Congratulations!
Very interesting Car. Do you know if GAD have also their own bigger manifolds or are they planning to fabricate Brabus-Style manifolds for their Turbos?
Thanks. And please make some videos of your car.
Kind Regards

They don't have there own manifolds they have said that Brabus cast manifolds are perfect and didn't need to change them, I think they can get the same power from the SL65BS manifolds you should contact them, the intercoolers are flawless, my Bullit is limited to 306KM cuz I have shorter ratio, and at full speed to the limiter at the Autobahn the maximum air temperature was 27C out side temperature -1C it's really really good, that's the V12 weakness the closed system on those cars are old and not very efficient

They didn't change the heat exchanger only the intercoolers with separate water tank, the air box, they also needed to change the throttle to an 82mm, and larger injectors, and turbos. I would contact them your in Germany I am sure they can sort something for what you need

dbason....G'Day from Aus.
What an awesome beast you have there...truly SPECTACULAR.....all quality work too.
Would it be possible for you to describe to us what it is like to drive this car. I mean, if you're in traffic at say 50/60MPH, what's it like when you pull out & pass...with that much torque?
Cheers, Pickles.

I was not happy because of the power! Car was over marketed by Brabus, the build is excellent but it has no power, the guys at GAD I think have figured an excellent setup for this car, some of the things they upgraded also where injectors and a larger throttle. I am sorry I do not want to go into how much I spent!

Thanks everyone for the kind replies
I can't describe it yet but will when the car is delivered back, I will try to make a short video
So true I was just so excited about a C-Class with a V12 and reading about it I thought I was buying a supercar spec Mercedes! I had to learn the hard way, and money already spent have to try to fix it at a point and get that specs on

Brabus overmarkets everything lol. This should not come as news to you, you seem well informed. All you are paying for is the Brabus badge on the trunk, you could have had a more powerfull car built for much less. That being said it is still a very rare and unique car, you know you are not going to see another parked at the valet at your favorite watering hole.
