It was only a few days ago that the guys at Brabus revealed a copper-colored S63 AMG with carbon fiber parts and the 850 kit. So when we saw they sent Santa Clause their regards with another S-Class, we thought it was just photoshop.
But no, this is a completely different project car, one which we've never seen before. They haven't provided us with any details, but the exterior looks like the iBusiness kit for the S500, so it's definitely not an AMG model. Which doesn't mean that this killer Merc lacks power and style, quite the opposite, in fact.

Over its Sport line body kit, it's been fitted with a new front spoiler, side air vents in carbon, a diffuser and some pretty cool quad exhaust pipes. Keen eyes will also notice the typical twin-color ally wheels and underbody illumination, both Brabus trademarks.

Finally, there's the interior, which has been decked in red and cream, like the sweater your grandma knits for you, but much more expensive. It's not an iBusiness in the sense that you don't get Apple laptops and a mobile office, but it's still pretty well connected to the digital world.

We haven't been provided with tech information, but there's a good chance they started with the S500 and gave extra boost. The 4.7-liter engine likely produces 540 hp and is good for 0 to 100 km/h sprints in 4.8 seconds.

We're more used to seeing Brabus models with 700 or 850 horsepower, but even though this S-Class is a little slower, 820 Nm torque sounds like enough to us.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
