Even though this isn’t the range-topping Brabus 850, based on the S63 AMG 4MATIC, we reckon that the S500 should still satisfy your luxury and performance needs.

For a car enthusiast, owning a brand new Mercedes-Benz S500 Coupe 4MATIC would definitely qualify as a dream come true – though there are still things you can do to improve your experience alongside the car, like letting Brabus dress it up really nice.

What you’re looking at here is a car that only looks different from the standard model, but is otherwise similar in terms of performance.

Which is all fine of course, since the stock S500 Coupe packs 455 PS as well as 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque, enough to propel it towards 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. The all-wheel drive system obviously helps.

Whether or not that’s enough, well, you guys can decide for yourselves. What’s really cool about this car though, is that most people that see you driving around, will automatically assume there’s like a gazillion HP underneath that bonnet, just because of the Brabus badge.

As for overall looks, it’s not quite on the same level as this one right here, but still, you’d be hard pressed to find any faults with it.

Brabus is looking to unload this S500 Coupe on anyone willing to pay €178,980 (approximately $196,315) for it. However, that type of money should buy you way more performance, right?
