Why wheel covers?This isn't the 50's....

How many limbs do you have? Standard equipment is usually four. So two and several others...Unless of course you mean yours and a few other peoples stolen limbs. Which is perfectly logical.

As for the car - I have the same reaction as pretty much everyone else here. The wheel covers look...not so good. I also think that they have potential, for those who regularly travel at 217mph. It's certainly not for fuel economy or else you probably wouldn't have bought a Brabus. But I haven't dismissed its implementation completely. Just more...flush. More fluid with the rest of the car. The grooves on the side aren't quite doing it for me.

The question is, how do you drive the car after selling an arm and a leg ?

I'l answer that with another question - how many chances will you get to drive this car when its not in a garage being fixed or fitted with new tires?

No need to worry; it's an automatic. Mercedes was planning ahead, apparently.

This. And the fact that....why the hell would I buy one?!? If I want a uber super dooper steroids saloon, I'd have a M5 and get that worked instead - chances are it'd be a better driver, too - but this is all hypothetical of course - if I had the money, it'd go to something with 2 doors instead.
 
Wheel covers - great idea if they've been designed into the car right from the start (first-gen Insight); terrible idea if they've been stuck on as an afterthought (this Brabus).

Anyway, I don't really like the E-Class shape. I'd prefer a C-Class-based Brabus Bullet:

Twin-turbo V12 in something as compact as the C-Class? YES PLEASE.
 
The only car I really love from Brabus remains the CLS-based Rocket.

Of course, since they're all probably spoken for, the Ai Design is close enough with more than satisfactory power. Even Ken Block likes it.

Hrm, nice. Now build a wagon version.

After he looked up from the speedometer needle at his car's indicated 208 mile per hour top speed, Sergio trembled as as the black mass eased by his Orange murcielago. A small girl waved back at him as his Lamborghini was utterly..how you say.. smoked. :D
 
The wheel covers look awkward, no doubt, but they're imperative (enabling an extra ~15km/h to be reached) according to Brabus if you want to be able to brag that your shiny black rocket can do 370km/h.
 
Brabus have a pretty good reputation for building some monumentally quick mercs... without exception, the road tests I've read about them over the years have called them out for their speed and the quality/integrity of the build.

700bhp super saloons are only really relevant if you live in Dubai or Moscow though... the Brabus versions of the G Wagen and M Class were a relatively common sight when I was in Moscow a few weeks ago. Generally following S class mercs around and being driven by very large, scarey looking gentlemen.
 
Well, when you're a member of the Russian Mafia, you DO need to outrun other Mafista....
