Brabus

It has road tyres, so much power that it would be scary off-road, etc, etc.

This superior performance necessitates the use of custom-tailored BRABUS Monoblock wheels.

It's just compensation for the owner having a small willy.

Allegedly.

An afterthought - I really wouldn't want to do an emergency stop from 100+ in that car!

An ordinary car would be exciting enough, but in that thing...

I think it's for those who cant get up in the morning , making them late for the school run

I like this bit
"The body of the BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo is distinguished by sporty yet elegant aerodynamic-enhancement components."

It's abut as aerodynamic as a bungalow on wheels

I see that I'm not alone in my view!

Basically - if I want to go fast down a motorway/autobahn/autoroute then I'd rather have the Mercedes that originally held this car's engine. It will be fast, comfortable, safe.

If I want to go up and down farm tracks, drive on ice and snow, etc. then I'd get a decent 4x4 (choose your favourite brand). It needn't be fast, but a decent bit of torque would be useful.

If I need to drive around town then a tidy little saloon would be fine.

Horses for courses - and you could probably buy all three for the price of that Brabus luxury van!

So this is the German companies effort of reducing (alleged) global warming is it? They should pile on the Tax on fuel like in the UK then see what happens.
