In 1994 the Mercedes 500 was already at the pinnacle of comfort. It was the perfect steed to travel across the country without losing any time, all the while in absolute luxury. However, for Brabus, its 326 horsepower just weren't enough. The German manufacturer decided to equip the classic Sedan with a V8 6.5L engine pushing 450 pure-blooded horsepower. Its performances were naturally improved with a top speed of 282 km/h, and took only 5,2 seconds to reach 100 km/h.
