It's a bad ass car for sure. But not for that $$.
Its well worth it.Compared to other supercars its not that expensive at all.I mean its a 800 bhp supercar that runs 370 km/h.I know alot of people look at it like its just a Mercedes E-Class.But this car nothing to do with a normal Mercedes.Its not even called a "Mercedes" anymore in the documents its officially called a "Brabus".

Is that 231mph roof up or down?

If it's with the roof up, it is very impressive for the Mercedes roof, as these can often be 'sucked' outwards at 150 mph+ speeds in normal cars, hence why they are speed limited. If it can withstand 231 mph it is amazing.

But if that top speed is with the roof down, a whole new range of problems arise which makes it doubly impressive if this is how the top speed was set. Aerodynamics play a huge part at high speeds, and even more so when the masses or turbulence caused by an open cockpit are brought into play.

You can call it whatever you want, but it looks like a Mercedes. The car is not worth that money.

Is it even safe for the occupants to take it up to 231 with the roof down? Assuming the top speed is with the roof down of course, if its with the roof up then I guess it ok

Say what you want.Its a 800 hp supercar that goes faster then any Lambo or Ferrari.Of course its worth the money.This has nothing to do with a Mercedes anymore.Just the basic shape.

So if a car is decently fast in a straight line and beats actual supercars and costs a lot that makes it a supercar and therefor worth it?

Because the Mercedes has a big motor and is fast in a straight line, that makes it a supercar and worth a lot of money?

Better Alex
