Daaaaaammmmmnnnnn ...

I drive a regular old S500 (01) and, aside from the fact that this thing has like 2.5 X the HP I have .. I wonder if the weight of the S will actually help 0-60 times because it would help it hook all that HP up ....

Am I just totally retarded here or on the right track .. cause ..

Daaaaaaaaammmmmmmnnnn ..

That seems to be a better link.

Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a modified five-speed automatic transmission. The optionally available BRABUS locking differential optimizes traction. All BRABUS drivetrain components are operated with ARAL high-performance lubricants.
So I guess they put back the old tranny.
