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.

I was looking into getting it if I got a stock s550 and they wanted $13k + install. So about $14k installed.

I generally do not like CF; however, if it is fitted well, like in a F430, since it is the high performance variant, CF is fitting.

Does anyone know the cost of this vehicle?

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.

Wow, thats quite alot of work, I'm not a fan of CF either but I think in this case it's been done really really well.

How many you see like it everyday on the street, almost one of a kind with aggressive 0-62 of 4.0. Crazy to me but really WORTH IT

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.

I like this car because of the originality; however, I think for 350k I would get into a phantom. But, if you wanted a stealth car that can take down exotics, this is it.

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.

If you look closely it's a sort of back that fits over the seat and it's not connected th the headrests, it's part of the traytable units thus allowing the headrests to move in all directions and not disrupt the viewing of the screen in hte rear.
