I wonder what they do to get another 60HP, pulley, chip, both? Did anyone see the COMMAND with Internet connectivity option on the Brabus options list? WTF is that all about?

I bet that's a Europe-only option. Europe has better wireless systems available than the U.S.

Aside from the UK, we have exactly the same networks as Europe available to us (albeit on different frequencies). Actually we have better than they do... the european auto MFRs just don't make proper use of the technology. And likely that solution uses GPRS.

When the horsepower stakes get that high, 0-60 is less of an indicator than 1/4 mi time and trap speed. There'll be a hell of a lot more than .1 second of improvement on that measurement from the upgrade. 0-60 unfortunately is much less meaningful here.

I agree, I wonder about the 1/4 mile time, that will be a much better indication.

it's just funny to me that the car is still using amg's kompressor yet brabus takes off all emblems from the engine and puts brabus on there lol
other than that sounds like awesome performance

This car is hot!
I like the pick of the engine. My hope is that they will plan to do an engine kit with modified displacement.
Just imagine a E 6.0 V8 Kompressor
