My dad has just broken the news to me that one of his friends (a relative of the Sultan of Brunei) has just imported his Brabus K8, tuned to 555HP. It started off as a standard SL55 AMG, and was immediately sent to Brabus. Before fine tuning the engine management system, the car managed a very healthy 550HP. A good 5HP came from the fine tuning.

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures nor any torque figures, however, it can rocket to 60 MPH in an amazing 3.9 seconds. Brabus listed on their website their K8 can do it in 4.4 seconds, however, I'm assuming that's with 20 inchers. So I'd guess his K8 is on 18 inchers.

cool , is there a speed limit there., how about some pics

Sounds good!! There are no MB dealers in Brunei? I heard His Majesty The Sultan of Brunei has the only RHD CLK-GTR in the world! Custom from the factory, talk about being a good MB customer.

Never heard of that car so I did a search

mookie: Yea there are speed limits in Brunei, BUT, they are very very rarely enforced by the police, so you can comfortably cruiser around at 200km/h without worrying about loosing your license.

Tezta: Of course we have MB dealers, or should I say, an MB dealer. We only have 1, and they seriously rip us off.

:p

Simply breathtaking - both GTR W208 and W209.

Yes I see and quite expensive to boot. Thanks for the pics

HUH????

which one is the GTR w209 and which is the w208?

i noticed that the clk gtr in both pics are the same : w208 clk gtr?

i didnt see w209 clk gtr???

Here is the 2003 w209 CLK-GTR Roadster.:p

Another one.:p

One more.:p

Have to say the picture of the guy with his bit of arm-candy looks ridiculous, this is hardly a car to go shopping or touring in. Come to think of it, what is it for?

iw as just gonna ask!

that car seems more of a track and show car then a real car like the SL.. lol

and people are paying how much for that car?

W208 CLK-GTR COUPE Price $1,573,000.00
W209 CLK-GTR ROADSTER Price N/A

Powerful but ugly.

agreed

It's just totally pointless.

Hey, why doesn't he just get an Azteck and strap a rocket booster on the back of it....same thing, powerful but ugly

the car looks like the old clk from the rear...and why doesn't it come with HID for such a high price tag...i would definately drive it...it is no doubt a show stopper...All women have to see is that beautiful star, then im sure they'll hop in...ShyneSL

this is my personal favorite angle of the vehicle...ShyneSL

Very impractical car though when you think about it. Look at the doors! How are you supposed to get in!!???

It's like driving a Formula 1 car for everyday use...
