For Those With Some Spare Change

What can you buy for $681,000 today? How about the world's fastest four-seater convertible? Brabus, the world's premier modifier of Mercedes Benz vehicles decided to take the E-Class Cabriolet into their workshop, and they transformed the car into a complete monster. What can expect from the car's V12 biturbo powerplant? Just a mere 800 horsepower. The engine is capable of producing 1,047 lb-ft of torque. It's so powerful that the company had to electronically limit the engine to 811 lb-ft of torque. If the car was allowed to exceed that amount of torque and reach it's full potential, it would literally eat through it's tires. I don't think that would be a good thing. The car has received the moniker Brabus B25 S Cabrio. It is currently the world's fastest and most powerful four-seater convertible. Also, it's a pretty good looking car. Brabus gave the car an aerodynamic kit, which consists of a front apron with LED daytime lights as well as front and rear widebody fenders. The rear uses carbon fiber, and the car is 2.4 inches wider in the rear. The car has 19x9.5 inch wheels in the front, while the rear has 19x10 inch wheels. For tires, Brabus decided to go with Yokohama. For shocks, the company went with Bilstein. Regardless, even if these facts are meaningless to you, just take a look at the car. It's far from being an eyesore.
