Default Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren by Brabus

As always, there will be somebody not happy enough with a stock SLR :roll:

The Brabus one has a new differential created especially for it. The engine thanks to some magic reaches 660 hp / 6500 rpm, the 0-100 km/h is achived in 3.6 sec and the top speed is 340 km/h.
Modified suspensions. Front lip and diffuser are in bare carbon fiber.
New interior too, with carbon, alcantar and leather. Different steering wheel with flat lower part.

Prize: 600'000 €, delivered by plane to your door, anywhere in the world.

A new, metal interior might make that price tag worth it. And when you say "delivered by plane" do they do affix a parachute to it and have it land in your front yard?! That would be cool.

I have this great mental image of an slr being pushed out the back of a hercules c130 and falling faster and faster..

then the parachute fails to open...

oooh what a disaster

Of course it would be priceless to be there and see the "happy" owner face when it would happen .. actually it could even crash directly into his home (or garage) to make things worse

Amazing, but you know what!? I've been thinking for a long time to bring a merc to get the special treatment from one of these infamous tuners. The only downside is there's no fukin dealers for them anywhere around the toronto region!!! For christ sakes Brabus, Lorinser, Renntech or Kleemann!!! Please do something about it!!!!

this is a better looking car for sure, however for resale value the original SLR would be better, but I really like this car

WOW!!! Very very nice!! I wasn't expecting too see an SLR tuned by Brabus. The wheels are very good ( as always ). The stock ones are nothing special IMO.
And the car seems lower. The stock one looks too high for a supercar, specially when it brakes.

I just don't like the bicolor interior :x :x :x

But I think is an excelent buy. A super exclusif version of an already exclusif car
