For some people, even the fastest cars in the world just aren’t extreme enough. Thankfully there are always modifiers like Gambella who will make your Ferrari Enzo that bit nippier, or Litchfield who can make your Subaru Impreza go quicker than a Lamborghini.

The latest offering from Brabus is no exception. It’s based on the new E-Class Coupe, and is powered by a 800bhp 6.3-litre twin-turbo V12 and puts out 1047 lb/ft of pulling power.

This means that it’s capable of sprinting from 0-62mph in a Usain Bolt-esque 3.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 230 mph.

It comes equipped with larger brakes, a tuned suspension system, 19-inch wheels and a shed-load of carbon-fibre. In fact, the front spoiler, grille, front and rear fenders, rear diffuser, trim and seats are all made from the lightweight material.

The cost? A grand total of 478,000 Euros – or £433,000.
