Brabus Intercoolers

I saw some picture of a Brabus G series with a V-12 in it at the Goodwood festival of speed. Check out the intercoolers. It looks like they just added another pair of factory intercoolers and then added a custom plenum with 4 inlets. Check them out.

Your worst nightmare...
I bought the exact same set up for my car, well 4 factory intercoolers but was advised to go with the Speedriven intercoolers since 1 core is more efficient. Now I have 4 factory coolers sitting around, LOL

I guess they cut the end tanks off and repositioned them? The upper plenum looks pretty straight forward but I would be interested to see the plumbing coming off the turbos into the intercoolers. Also do you think there are small air boxes under the carbon fiber covers or do you think there is a remote air filter out of the picture frame? The covers by the air boxes sure look small to hold an air filter. I assume in a G class there is some nice room to put a couple cone filters out of the way.
