content: In the pouring rain, with the anti-slip device operating twice to stop us slipping sideways on our full throttle charge to 100km/h, the Brabus Mercedes 500E 6.0 still tripped the timing equipment at 6.5 sec. In the dry, it was a remarkable 5.4-sec! For power junkies, this latest creation from the German town of Bottrop turns the healthy 5.0 litre 326bhp engine of a 500E into a 6.0 litre 408bhp monster with a monumental 445lb / ft of torque. Even with the low axle ratio as tested, the 500E 6.0 will reach 161mph. With the tallest ratio, make that 176mph faster than a Lotus Carlton. The 500E is a rare sight in Britain because not many people will pay over £50.000 for a left hooker.
