They scanned the Maybach 6 and did this

I am not overwhelmed, and I am not underwhelmed. Just whelmed.

It's definitely not bad at all, which is what I kind of expected. Quite to opposite.

The custom car business is booming I see.

Brabus are building this car for survival. Their breed and butter used to be tuning and boring B8 AMG engines. AMGs are increasingly hybrids or EV. This kills Brabus bread and butter.

Neither can they rest on their laurels and live off the G-Wagon which has more aftermarket options than 10 years ago. They have expanded s bit to Porsche and Range Rover models. However there’s no competitive advantage there and it’s easy to be copied.

This car and other bespoke ones are not easy to copy or undercut in price. If it sells well, Brabus might build more custom cars.

BRABUS was supposed to be the first people to swap a V8 in the W206, People would be banging their door, Crying for a 4.5L W206 C63.

But they chose to do a turquoise blue interior Vogue like all the car shops in Miami/Dubai can.

The proportions of the body's architecture are...imposing. An embodiment of the "long, wide, low & sleek" luxury GT school of design. Curvacious muscle mass but not sinewy or vascular. I personally appreciate BRABUS´ resistance to applying excessive afterthought tacky, rubbish ornamentation. And IMHO, it resembles an M-B more than it does an Aston Martin. Perhaps that can be construed as a positive attribute-an attribute that achieves the link to what BRABUS was once exclusively about. An interesting automobile that only very, very few will actually see on a public road/street.

Side view is so pretty. But yeah, a lovely Temu Maybach 6.

"Personalization" possibilities will surely be immense. My "AI Slop" attempt at bringing a bit more color into focus:

...or...my "AI Slop" vision of a 4 door GT...:

Excuse my being pedantic, but my initial AI Slop version looks so unfortunately proportioned with that massive rear overhang. Frankly, it looks like crap.

Here is some "New & Improved" AI Slop:

I'm glad they based this on a Vanquish. It would have been much easier for them to use a V8 Merc instead.
