LSD on that one, makes a pleasent change.

It is lottery fodder, no doubt. I would love to take my kids to school in that

I look at it like this. If I was a wealthy Arab, lottery winner or Richard Branson and wanted some serious exotica in the realms of Lamborghini Murcielago, Mclaren SLR etc etc but with the ability to take 4 adults there isn't a lot else. Imagine a trip to le mans with some chums and you had to leave the Veyron and take the diesel range rover as your buddies can't squeeze in the Bugatti.

Hartge have a nice H50 and MTM have improved the performance of the B7 RS4 to dizzy heights - but both are lacking in performance and presence next to the Brabus beast that has been aero restyled from the deck up.

It has a very limited market, but it is very appealing.

This may be thick but, what does the POT mean when talking about brakes?

What would you go for, Turion 64, or an Athlon

Not sure if turbos would work on them however.
