When a standard AMG is not enough: Mercedes-Benz Brabus G K8
May 25, 2012, 2:05 PM The Mercedes-Benz G 55 AMG is a brutal car. The new G 63 AMG is possibly even more brutal, but the Brabus G K8 already existed when the G 63 was presented. When we talk about the E-class K8, you know this car has six exhausts. With the G-class, Brabus thought four exhausts would be enough this time. They did change the colour, the car is now matte green. A very impressive car, because a G-class is always very impressive!

Brutal grey Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce

Crashed: Cadillac CTS-V Coupé
May 24, 2012, 5:59 PM 564 bhp in a coupe, the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series doesn't even have so much power. It isn't always easy to control 564 bhp and that is proved by this spot. ErikG_NL spotted a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe in Dubai. That is already a pretty rare car, but to spot this car crashed makes this spot even more special.
