Everybody wants more, right? wrong. This goes over the top on an already ridicolous care. Also, how many are they going to sell? 3? 4? come on

I watched some Robbie Williams in the back of that car. It's real nice inside like all Brabus creations, but the wood is not my favourite type.

As if it wasnt already powerful enough already! For a car based on luxury making it crazy powerful doesn't make sense.

You guys are missing the point. Brabus don't want to sell more cars than Toyota. They don't want to be sensible. They make exclusive cars for exclusive people. Making it more powerful is a Brabus tradition, I suppose. Personally, I think it looks much better than a standard Maybach, which in my opinion looks like a swoopy S-Class. Although the wheels do look a little small in the pics?!

The Brabus wheels/rims don't go well with the Maybach, Brabus should of made some new chrome wheels for the Maybach. The exhaust looks crappy. Other than that the Maybach 57 6.3 is great.
But I'd like to see what they do with the interior of a 62. :D

I supose yes. I have never really been a great fan of Brabus my favorite car from them is what they did with the Smart roadster.
