Remember this Brabus SV12 Biturbo ?
Hi,
a few weeks ago someone posted these pictures of the S-Class SV12 Biturbo.
It's the car of a man who lives a few streets away from me. Its in the north of Germany...
And now comes the sad story. Someone stole it...It was found in the south of France. There the thief/thieves tried to escape from the police who chased them. A police man was killed during this pursuit.
Then the Brabus made a crash, catched fire and burned out completly. No chance to repair it...
I don't know exactly how many SV12 Brabus produced, but it weren't many
Of course the death of the police men is even more sad...

The owner shouldve gotten a Level II armor. It prolly could withstand the fire.

Sad incident for the officer.

Damn that car is/was beautiful.
But someone enlighten me plz, I always thought you cannot steal a benz unless you have the key from somewhere. Is there a way around the infra-red key system?

I just asked the neighbor how they got the key. He told me that they hijacked the owner in France while he was there for business or something. They took his keys while he was near or in his car and drove away...
So they threatend him and he gave them the keys...
