SL65 AMG to Brabus SV12 -- WOW!

The Brabus S V12 S Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG package will up oomph from a more-than-adequate 612bhp to a massive 730bhp and 995lb/ft of pulling power.

The new tuning package will now propel the SL from 0-62mph(0-100km/h) in just 4 seconds flat and up to 124mph(200km/h) in 10.5 seconds, the top speed lies at 219mph (350km/h).

The body kit was aerodynamically-enhanced in the wind tunnel to produce a striking appearance. The front bumper is replaced by the Brabus front apron featuring LED daytime running lights and high beam and fog lights. The rocker panels have three entrance lights which illuminate the floor around the vehicle. The customized look is completed by one-piece and multi-piece light alloy rims available in diameters of 17, 18, 19 and 20 inches. The interior of the SL also receieves the Brabus treatment with a increased level of luxury.

Thats is a sweet ride with devestaing power,still like the oval headlight Sl55/65 better. Read that the next Sl55/65 weighs in a portly 4,400lbs! So it needs everybit of that 700+ HP to move its hefty ***!

Exactly what I was thinking.

So much power, yet still a fat heavy relatively slow pig.

They had that car featured on Top Gear, it originally had over 1,000lb/ft but they had to limit it because the traction control couldn't handle it, and if you turned it off, the wheels would spin until the tires popped!

I mean, come on. It doesn't take a 1000 ft lb of torque to vaporize tires. Many cars out there could do that, if it's what floats your boat.

"until the tires popped". Yah, youre also gonna be digging out rubber from the wheel wells for the rest of eternity. It's not like you turn off the traction control and the tires instantly rip apart. Jeez.

Wasn't attacking you... they know better. "Media." Always the game of embellishment.
