W211 Brabus 6.1 spotted

....but no pics! . Out of all the times I didn't have my digital, it had to be today lol.

I was right behind it. A nice clean white with an awesome kit and monoblock VI rims. It was some older lady driving it. Still had the dealer tags on. Fletcher Jones I believe. Here are the specs:

I was going to follow her to get a better look but I was late for work. Hopefully I'll get another chance to see it again .

Ya I live in San Diego, but usually travel between LA and SD frequently. I live and work in La Jolla and constantly see nice cars. What's up with this weather!?

Sucks

June Gloom sucks. Especially along the coast. Sun came out last two days for 5 minutes, went away after 5 minutes, out again for 5 minutes, etc. etc. for about an hour, but only between 1600-1700 hours.

Combined with morning fog/drizzle, it is NOT a nice time to be living at the beach in So. Cal

Ya tell me about it. Today's the first time I've seen the sun out for more than a second. What's even worse, peoples' moods seem to go with the weather. So everyone around me become very difficult to deal with. The radio has not stopped b*tchin about the weather the past few weeks either.

I guess we shouldn't be complaining all that much. It's better than the East coast humidity. 100F with rain. Always muggy. Rains for 10 min...stops...starts up again...stops...so on and so forth. And when the rain does actually stop for more than a day, you notice more and more mosquitos . You gotta carry around bug repellant all the time or hope the bugs don't like the taste of your skin :p.

Somehow with the higher output of the new E55 and other factory turbo and super charged cars, Brabus does not seem as impressive as it used to be, especially for the price.

I agree. It was a great looking car and all but after seeing the $120k price tag...I'll gladly pass and take an E55 .

Hrmmm...wonder if there will be a market for an E600. I really love the W211 chassis. Slap a V-12TT on there!

"Slap a V12 tt on there" There is......!

from Brabus! They are now introducing a tuned version of the Mercedes 5.5 V12 in Germany as featured in the 600 models. The Brabus version will have 6.3 Liters, 640 hp and over 1000 NM of torque( I think that is something like between 600 and 700 pound feet.) This engine will be offered in the S-class, sl and e-class. The e-class with this engine has the following performance:

0-100km/h (62mph) : 4.2 sec.
0-200km/h (125mph): 12.9 sec.
top speed: 340 km/h (210 mph) governed due to tires and weight.

Price: around 300.000 Euros
