Hey everybody!!!

I saw the topic about "Alpina or M5"... This one is similar!! Don't answer, I'll take still M5, you have to go for a Merc!

So in general, AMG or BRABUS and in comments, please post which one you will pick (S class AMG/Brabus, SL AMG/Brabus, G AMG/Brabus ...)

Greetings,

Postel

Forgot to vote myself...

When money isn't a issue, the SLR Brabus of course. But for normal price, give me a SL65 AMG (V12)...

Brabus all the way. Read this.
And i would take the Combi, i bet my dog would love to go 350 in this familycar :'(

"BRABUS also manufactures the world's fastest street-legal sedan: With a top speed of 350.2 km/h (217.6 mph) the BRABUS E V12 Biturbo, powered by a 640-hp / 471-kW twin-turbo twelve cylinder engine, set a new world record during the 'auto motor und sport' magazine high-speed tests in Nardo, Italy."

Yeah, Brabus is registred in the World Book of Records for that record, I think!

I think, up to 2 years ago, AMG was the softer one en Brabus the insane one... AMG just went to 367 hp, Brabus came with +500 hp ... But now, with all the AMG63/65... AMG is just as extreme...

The SL65AMG is almost as fast as an SLR on a straight line...
