Brabus, tuner of all
things
Mercedes-Benz, has put quite a package together that makes the R-class the hottest thing going. The power-hungry
fiends took the R500's standard 5.0-liter, 302-horsepower V8 and turned it into a grunt-worthy 6.1-liter engine
with 445 horsepower. The Brabus R-Class puts out a top speed of 165 mph and a 0-60 time of 5.9 seconds -- as
the folks at eMercedes-Benz say, "quick enough to get your kids to school and still get home in
time to enjoy a full hour of Martha." Brabus also tweaked the look of the vehicle with a more aggressive body kit
and put in a fung shui-inspired interior.
