Mercedes V8 drop-tops are always desirable, four-seat ones in particular - so how about a Brabus'd one?
Two-door Mercedes S-Classes are cool. Always have been, probably always will be. There’s just something about all that luxury and opulence in a more rakish bodystyle that really works. Once upon a time Mercedes gave up on the idea and made the CL - but the S-Class Coupe returned in time. It feels as much a part of the lineup as a G-Class., and there doesn’t look like being one.
Whatever - in the absence of new, slightly sportier S-Classes, let's draw attention to the old ones. In the most recent W222 generation, they only got the good engines, reflecting their flagship status, and meaning V8 or V12 only. The 4.0-litre hot-vee eventually came in with its usual monumental impact, however the 63 continued longer than most of the similarly badged AMGs with the old 5.5 twin-turbo. And that was absolutely fine because it was a monster of a V8 brimming with personality.
The result won’t be to all tastes, because that’s exactly the point of modifying a car - you do exactly what you want to do to your car. The finished S-Class is undoubtedly menacing, large and low like little else. Indeed it’s not often that Brabus’d cabrios are seen, and it becomes sort of hard to draw yourself away from staring. It’s quite the opportunity for fans of what Brabus does, because it’s a Bottrop bruiser to a tee.
Obviously, with a car of this calibre you’ll want to check out the finer details of its past , though given the reputation both two-door S-Classes and Brabus enjoy, it’s easy to imagine plenty of potential suitors out there. The typical PH preference might be for something a little more subdued - here’s
with silver wheels, look, for £45k - but the appeal of the big, bad Brabus is proving irresistible from here. Don’t try to fight it…
