That's part of the insanity, isn't it?

"Wow, that's a nice C-class. How much does one of those run?"

"Oh, about FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND, give or take 30 or 40."

Thanks for posting the pictures. I always wanted to know what the interior of such an expensive car would look like: quite good.

But, I'd never find this interesting. Only the interior--I don't care about power specs.

I find it odd that C-class is now one of the best looking Benzes out there now. I wouldn't even consider an E.

Crazy.



But in the end, like others have said, still a C Class.

True. I think Mercedes actually lists a starting price on their website. Starting at around $450,000 I believe?

Thats way overpriced... I mean the car wasn't originally designed to handle that much power and such... its better to buy a car designed to handle that much power... or modify one on your own... and save a few hundred grand

I like the flat "Robocop Taurus" black paint job.

I wonder how much it would cost to get a GS interior to have a real leather / suede interior.

BRABUS must be very proud of their name. The name is repeated no fewer than 40 times in the article. Whew!!
