Power, Courtesy of the Germans

This is a revamp, so lets start out with something completely outrageous to cleanse the palate, shall we?

Behold, the 2010 Brabus E V12. It's a Mercedes-Benz that went to Hell and sold its soul for more power.

The license plate has the name and "One of Ten" underneath. Having this appear in your mirror at speeds of around 230mph would be like watching a wheeled cannonball flying at you.


Even it's rear end looks angry and might eat the poor car behind it.

But, here's what really caught my eye:
It has fender skirts. That is, quite simply, awesome.

However, it's cool factor is negated by two things. One: you can tell that it's carbon fiber. That's unnecessarily showy, it should be glossy black like rest of the car. Black is cool, but large wheel covers of carbon fiber means you're trying too hard.

The second thing? Brabus calls them "Speed Spads." What the hell? It sound like corrective footwear.

Oh, and one last thing. The power I mentioned? The V12 makes 800hp and 1047ft-lb of torque.

That's enough to alter the Earth's rotation.

In other words, overdrive is necessary.

  1. It is! But without the whole rocket powered booster thing. Not that it really needs it...
