You guys seen this car before? I found that after browsing the bad *** Brabus cars. I never knew anyone had done this before.

I would also prefer to turbocharge if at all possible. Interested to see the plumbing on this. Those ugly Brabus airboxes don't mean anything unfortunately.... however it may be a clue on where the turbos are mounted towards the front of the engine bay corners perhaps. Find any more pictures?
I just can't see how it can be done efficiently. With the new engine, I think they're flipping the heads around so the exhaust ports point into the "V", and then fitting the turbos on top in there. With our cars, I don't see how you can make room...

BRABUS fits the high-speed eight-cylinder four-valve engine from the ML63 AMG with a twin turbo system and implants it into the largest Mercedes SUV. By doing so the luxury manufacturer from Bottrop elevates the GL63 to a new performance dimension.
The twin turbo system is yet another high-tech development so typical for BRABUS. The BRABUS engineers have developed special cast exhaust manifolds with integrated turbine housings and bypass valves for the V8 engine. For faster response the turbochargers were sized relatively small and both manifolds were designed to only use the exhaust gases from three of the four cylinders on each side for driving the turbochargers.
Brabus GL63 Biturbo
The turbochargers themselves are also a custom BRABUS development. Normally V-type engines are fitted with two right-turning chargers. That results in a slower response on the right side of the engine because the intake on the right side of the turbine housing necessitates a more complicated exhaust routing than on the left side of the engine. To solve this problem the BRABUS engineers designed a left-turning turbocharger for the right cylinder bank of the engine and thus achieved perfect exhaust-gas dynamics.
The twin turbo system also includes a generously dimensioned water-to-air intercooler as well as a dual intake manifold with cast-in BRABUS Biturbo logos and sport air filters. High-performance catalysts behind the turbochargers reduce back pressure and further lower exhaust emissions.

I saw that article. They only use 3 of the cylinders per bank. It works for me I guess. I'd really like to see it in person. I'm pretty sure its the only turbocharged 6.2 out there. I'm sure its stupidly expensive.
I found this after like 35 minutes of looking at their V12 stuff I stumbled across the picture and was like damn.

ML's have a lot more room in the engine bay, particularly in the back where the cats are. Im sure thats where they stuffed them. Cool they did it. Kind of lame they only did 3/4 cylinders lol.
