Brabus K8

Went to Vegas over the weekend and saw this Brabus K8 at Caesar's Palace. I spent about $40 on slots hoping to drive this bad boy home. How many Horsepower does this K8 put out?

those rims look huge...maybe b/c of the lighting... at least 20" for sure.
bad ***, gonna be there next week... I'll give the slots a shot myself. :-)
maybe I'll drive it home instead...

it must be putting out at least 550hp, no?

K8 for the E55 is 530hp.

It costs 13,500$ MSRP. It's a 61hp increase.

Those rims are 20"s wrapped with Yokohama AVS. They looked pretty sick in person

sweet... AVS? not bad... shoulda wrapped it on those 20"s with PS2s.
Yeah, I gotta take a look at it next weekend in person...if no one's won it by then. I don't think it's so easy to win the car from the slots anyways. I was just reading a mag i picked up from my last trip to vegas 2 weeks ago (Casino Player), and they had an interesting article on slot machines odds from the mouth of 'Mr. Casino'. Hold rates are between 6-8%, meaning the payouts are between 92-94% at best. They're in the biz to make $.

Your E55 looks pretty cool too. I'm looking to pick up a E55 or a CLS55...leaning more towards the E55 as the CLS seems a bit too big & claustrophobic for me. :p

Dude, your own E55 looks way sicker, anyway. $12K for 50hp? Hmmm, that's OK.

Not a fan of 20"s either. i drive mine, not look at it. I need your RIMS.

Haha, I was there in Decemeber and there was a red 911 Turbo on there. I believe that's the same slot machine place.

Those are the new MOMOBLOCK S wheels, they were on the car @ the LA Auto show... well at least half of the car... it was rolling on S wheels on the passenger side and VI 2pic on the driver side... they are kind of nice, and cheaper than the 2piece wheels by a few hundred a piece...
