Yes.... but they didn't just toy with it. They actually produced limited edition vehicles with it. Please note that they used the V12 engine found normally in Mercedes 600 line, such as, S600 and CL600 and made it bigger.

Yep, the E has the Brabus S treatment found on the 600 cars, regular 600 series V12 5.5L stroked up to 6.3L, everything is changed except the cylinder block, bigger turbos were also part of the equation. Too bad they didn't stroke up a 6.0L AMG to 7.0L or so with bigger turbos, that will be nuts! This car though is amazing, looks so tame and elegant but yet would destroy things. We do have cars that do a similar job, the E55/63 AMGs.

+1 on all. The key thing to realize is that this was back in 2005! I mean, that far back this Brabus E would have been a show stopper.

Click on the link and then click the picture to enlarge it. The interior looks $$$ but notice, no NAV?? Also notice the gauge cluster, look familiar to you 6.3 guys??

1) I think the persons who buy those cars already have a murci or a F-car in their garage.

2) The trans will handle the power whithout any problem, The MB 5 speed gearbox can also be modified to handle 140 MKG of torque, See the "VRP Bullet trans " thread.JayCl600, marko and other V12 Mafia members have more torque than this brabus, they all run they cars like mad, never had any Gearbox issue.Like Jay said, the rear axle and differential will go before the tranny. Those MB 5 speed gearbox are virtually bulletproof.



3) Like the 63 AMG, brabus advertise the engine as a 6.3 but in fact it's a 6.2.

Those cars are mainly sold to German Business men who wants monster power while keeping MB confort, or to Dubai Teenagers who wants to travel at 200MPH with 4 cousins/Brothers/buddies.

I doubt anybody have Lambo or F-car will buy a 4 door sadan modified from E55 for $355k. How many of this is sold ? this is just for Brabus branding image. I dont even think they were sold in USA.
