Brabus K8 ?
Saw what was a CLK430 (55?) haulin' towards Santa Barbara. I caught up as it gets off in town. Young guy drivin' will not look at me at the light! I tried to get his attention without hangin' out the side of my car, and he would not look over. I wanted to compliment him on it (and run 'em of course 
). Black, Brabus wheels (blacked out w/nice brakes and machined lip 
). I was looking it over when the light turned green and he rolled, but didn't lay into it, then turned off left at the next light. Had:
BRABUS K 8
for badging. Anybody we know? Nice.

It was a W208, I'm guessing a CLK430. Sure looked good, I always was partial to black. Really wanted to run the guy to see what it had. I figured he'd go for it for sure not knowing my car was a 55 (he was never behind me to see the deck lid), but maybe it's just a poser 320? Oh well.

Brabus K8 kit offered for 55 kompressor models as far as I know...
It offers 530-550 HP conversion E and SL, S and CL cars with AMG E55 Kompressor engines...Also the kit include LSD and shrter rear axle and someting else...
E55 with this Kit is 0.4 secs faster to 62 and over 1 sces fastr to 124...
I think it was just a badge...
