Default R&T: Brabus Stealth.... Your thoughts?

I was reading through R&T and saw an article/review on the Brabus Stealth (Highly modified CL600). I was wondering if anyone else had the chance to take a peek at this car. It has a built motor and larger turbos pushing power output to 700+hp and 975 lb-ft tq. Yet, it only goes 0-60 in 3.9 and completes the 1/4 mile in 12 seconds. Am I missing something here? I know it's probably a high top speed car (and a pretty heavy car at that), but those numbers don't seem to translate into expected results (well, what I had in mind anyways). The modifications/labor cost $160,000 and you will need to provide a donor CL600.

I read it. It's the same setup as on this Brabus SL, that Clarkson pans:

Power to the ground is the problem.
