Brabus has taken a Mercedes S 600

Post by Sabre »

and created... something interesting
The centerpiece is a Mac Mini housed under the rear shelf in an electrically deployed drawer, and is connected to a 15.2-inch TFT display with 16:9 aspect ratio integrated into the headliner...

The car is powered by a Brabus SV12 R Biturbo 750 engine that has a special crankshaft with longer stroke, forged pistons with larger diameter and increased cylinder bore bump displacement from standard 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 385 cu. in.). In addition, the inlet and outlet ports of both cylinder heads are optimized for improved mixture flow. Four special camshafts also contribute to that same effect.

The Brabus engine specialists also fit the engine with larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooling system and a stainless-steel high-performance quad exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts. This pushes the rated power output to an awesome 750 hp (740 bhp) / 552 kW at 5,500 rpm. Its peak torque of 1,350 Nm (995 lb-ft) hits at 2,100 rpm.

The engine is mated to a modified five-speed automatic, which sounds a little dated, but no matter, this large car can hit 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.0 seconds and to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 11.9 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 340 km/h (211 mph).

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Now what would be really cool is to drive the car remotely from the back seat through the Mac.
