The Brabus engine specialists also fit the engine with larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooling system and a stainless-steel high-performance quad exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts.

No business man would ever buy that... Why in the world would you put a catback exhaust on that luxury car? Its made for COMFORT, not exhaust growl and turbo lag. Dont get me wrong, my EvoX has a 3 inch catback, but I dont employ a chauffeur.
 
I got the same setup in my Honda Accord but I used velcro. Browsing App Store and playing games while driving is awesome. ICar this changes more than everything. If you are like the rest of apple users just pretend the CarPC was never invented and the ICar will be Truly Revolutional!!!
 
Going to be a bummer when all those lap tops are outdated in 6 months and no upgrades can be thrown in them. oh well just buy another S class with updated hardware.
 
You're missing all the headlines:
iPad Used in Mercedes Sedan
iPad Used While Sitting in Leather Seat
iPad Used in Black German Car
iPad Used in Car with 700HP

[citation][nom]thechief73[/nom]Very nice car, but the Apple stuff Meh. Put a PC in there and lets see what this baby can do!Just shows that ones who can buy that car probably only care about name dropping not value or fuction.[/citation]

brabus already includes a dedicated ibm laptop in its mercedes modifications
 
The unfortunate results of a threesome between apple, mercedes, and brabus. The unfortunate part is that someone in the group hadn't been getting their regular check-ups.
 
[citation][nom]thesupermedium[/nom]20 mpg hwy with 700hp? Nah. More like 4.A ferrari 430, which I'll ad has half the horsepower and way better aero, not to mention much lighter, managed about 0.9 mpg when raced around a typical race track.[/citation]

Yep thats right. Around a RACE TRACK, with wide open throttle 75% of the time around that track. Fuel economy is not just a factor of displacement/horsepower. How much of that power you call into existance for a sustaned amount of time drasticaly efects millage. take a prius and run it wide open at the track and tell me about that great millage.( and SLOW lap times😉 )
 
I would love a car like this with Win7 and ill take my phone on bluetooth hookup (wehich like most i already have).

As for the mercedes...HP sells cars, torque wins races. 995 ft/lb torque is mental! wow that be awesome, maybe even a bit scary depending on the driver. That much torque would rip the rear axle off my Charger lol.

Just a guess...but I'm pretty sure that with the engine swap and all the other modifications done to the car, Brabus didn't go with an exhaust from the Catalytic coverter back. More than likely they ran all new headers along with those new snails.

Dispute aside...had a GST with a Apexi N1 TURBO BACK exhaust. Love my DSM's 😀
 
[citation][nom]Silmarunya[/nom]One could simply put a Macbook/iPad or other laptop/tablet of choice in their car and put their iPod or other MP3 player in their pocket. This has the same effect and is a lot cheaper. Btw, would this have made headlines if they had used a regular, similar specced Android/W7 tablet and a W7 nettop? I don't think so, even if the end result would have at least as useful.[/citation]
oh it would have made the headlines if it were android... except the car would have been much cheaper to begin with
