More pics here

Startech is the new Brabus enterprice, for the US division I believe.
Now for the specs:

6034 cc V8 (bored & stroked 5.0l mercedes engine)
420 hp @ 5400 rpm
458 ft/lb @ 4100 rpm
11.2:1 Compression Ration
EFI SOHC, 24 Valves
6500 rpm rev-limiter

5-speed automatic
Wheels(F&B): 19x8.5 & 20x9
Tires (F&B): 235/35ZR19, 255/30ZR20

0-62 MPH: 4.6 sec
Top Speed: 187 mph

PRICE: $119,185 (est.) ---- (ouch)

Well, I think it's hot, but it wouldn't be the first on my list for that price. Oh, and hope this isn't a repost, I just found this info in a new magazine I got. Enjoy.

I love Brabus, but who on earth would ever buy this car ? If you are willing to drop a 120 grand on a car it sure as hell won't be on a Crossfire. Brabus is known as a great MBZ tuner, but there path to power has always been more displacement for the real wild stuff, but their cars become outrageously priced.

Brabus customers are not the type to sweat it out over a few hundred thousand bucks.

Why don't they just use the new E55 engine in it.

wheels seem much too large, and thus the ride height is a bit high...
