I love it! Except for the CF. Replace the carbon fiber with a nice wood and it could be the first interior to beat a stock 600/65.
I especially like the wheels, though not quite as nice as a stock 030 63.

There was A LOT of work not shown in those pictures. A full review of the car was done by Road & Track back in January I believe.
It has the 6.3 litre V12, twin-turbo engine. ~700HP, ~815TQ . FULL custom interior. BRABUS brakes, body work, etc.

I will have to say though that if I had $350K to spend on a car, it would be this car rather than a Maybach. I think the exterior of the Maybach is Ugly. This car ( the Brabus) is gorgeous and would be the best choice.

That and I think the Maybach is really a car that you buy because you employ a driver not to drive yourself.

Oh so true!
One more general question I have is: Where do most of the aftermarket DVD monitor/player installers get the power source, where do they usually locate the DVD player, and does the sound come from the OEM speakers/radio system? Where do they tap into the power?
Who seems to be the best in the country (USA) that does the installs of headrest DVD monitors and other equipment like we see in the above photos?
I ran into one installer who says you can get headrests that look exactly like the OEM headrests except they come with the monitors built-in. It's an exchange system I think where you turn your original headrests in, they give you a pre-set up pair of matching headrests with the monitors professionally placed in them, and then you hook up the rest either yourself or by a professional installer. Anyone else heard of this and if so where?
The guy I'm talking about is here in Birmingham, AL but I would rather hear of a more nationally known company doing this.
