the rims are certainly nice, but they didn't change the ugliest part of the car: the front end

Brabus has gone mad again. First the Brabus Maybach now this. I should go down to Newport beach and see it.

Its not hard to understand that the stock engine is very near it's limits of design.
660 vs 626 not a big difference andI take a stock SLR over this Brabus thing anyday.

I agree the SLR is a car that doesn't need to be tuned, even if I like Brabus.

a better idea of a drop landing is from a helicopter on the front lawn. imagine some heavy crosswinds but it seems its not worth the extra money i mean rims ans the exterior doesnt really look different neither does the interior and its just a bit faster

Dude, the SLR is launched in Geneva Motorshow this week, so definitely the answer is "no".

And BTW, the muffler isn't road legal in most countries LOL.. and as always I bet the most of the production (very limited obviously), will end up in Dubai and similar countries

The interior is definitely a huge improvement over the shitty stock interior, but overall these modifications are not worth the price...maybe if they threw in a conversion to a 6spd manual. 8)

I knew this was coming, but I don't thing it's worth it...I mean it's not that big of a difference from the stock one...

I'm surprised they didn't change the Merc badge for a Brabus one...

haha nothing like your house being bombed by your own 600,000 euro automobile

the car does look great, tho that may be just cuz I think the SLR is gorgeous in black
