BRABUS got to be one of the best business ideas ever. To profit from small mods, make them crazy expensive and make customers justify it subconsciously, because of the branding and aesthetics.
@@taxn I get it guys, they channge oem parts for slightly better... Its never the best, its just to give a car different feel and the power increase is not so big and its not expensive to do it yourself. Like ive said, they do change the mechanical bits, but they justify CRAZY price tag because of "just look at it", its badass looking new G63 or whatever and because of it, you spend the money on these mods that could buy you a weekend house with a pool. I mean, its a money grab, no wonder people like Gemballa got what he got... A bullet. And there are many companies like this, as someone mentioned Alpina, Mansory, Ruf...
Hang on! The normal 911 Turbo S did the quarter mile time in 10.1 seconds with 650bhp and 800nm torque, yet the Brabus with 250bhp more 0.1 second quicker? That doesn't add up. The Brabus by performance comparison should be in the sub 9 second bracket quarter mile. Similar to a Ferrari SF90. Now can we have a test comparing Brabus with their normal counterparts and their competitors to get a true feel of the performance that Brabus offers
I was just about to comment this. I’ve definitely seen the turbo s do its best time of 10.1 on carwow as well. Although I think it was only one time, the rest of the times are 10.2 or 10.3 which is still impressive. But the brabus having a lot more power I was expecting 9s as well
@@alexanderh3499definitely should be, but you’re also paying for mostly the visual changes, you can bump the power way higher than that for what brabus charges.
Slow 1/4 mile times on carwow should not be a big surprise at this point, all their times are easily a half second slower than a perfect run on prepped drag surface.
@@MartinBrada well considering they are all brabus's, and that the gls and gwagon would most likely have similar tires(if not the gls having better anyways) that seems realistic. Along with of course weight and aero.
Me: My Dacia city car has 1000NM of torque. Bloke down pub: No way, so why is it still the slowest car in town? Me: It's been limited to 70NM to protect the engine and gearbox.
0.1 according to times posted by CW. Either the standard car has way more hp or the Brabus has way less than published. ES Motor 911’s are much quicker but higher chance of blowing the motor probably.
@@thunderpants007 Porsche likes to over engineer things so the 911 turbo s may have around 700 crank hp while the wheels will have 650 which is slightly cheating but is also allowed
Ah yes - a sleek lighweight sports car vs a heavy SUV vs a crazy powerful garden shed on wheels - I wonder indeed which will win the drag race! Joking aside, a good old crazy drag race from CarWow is a perfect start to a weekend 😃
Don't be fooled. Most of these cars here is producing stock power. Brabus can't tune for shit. Hence why the 1/4 mile times are you similar to standard
I wonder how there compete against a hyped up 20 year old honda civic,these vechles here are a waste of money,turn them up more,gearbox turns to margarine,better still what's the point of paying for power with a national speedlimit of 70,totally pointless,a car at a fraction of the price,makes a quarter or th 8th mile look stupid,ok there nice,but only for the footballer paygrade
@qoa9985 lol of course I am,but honestly I have no use of it but to pose,I 55yrs old im a grandad,I wouldnt waste my money having to drive it like little miss daisy,stuck in uk traffic for the odd few to relise what it is and beep a d gawp when I could do the same In a mini,and have 390 grand spare,lots of holidays or two nice houses for the kids,there fantasist cars,I dream of When I was young,I Like watching the amateur boys in America drag racing 4 banger hondas,who'd thing they run the quarter in high 6's,so these brabus would be mush against these,and that's why I said there pointless,if I won money,I'd buy1 of 3 cars a mclaren senna, A Nismo gti and a r34 skyliner fully built,that's My dream
SponsorBlock extension makes all those go away, haven't seen one of these in a while now - they're automatically skipped. People also mark these sections quickly, so basically never seeing those. Phew.
Once again, when there's a Porsche in the video, it just never disappoints. What a feat of engineering the guys of Stuttgart made. You just can't go wrong with a Porsche.
@@Popor. ehh? german junk is top of the engine failure rate charts and bottom of the reliability charts 🤣🤦🏼 porsche are rock bottom of the reliabilty charts in UK and around Europe. Merc are bottom 4. You must thiink this is still the early 90s mate when Germany made things correctly.
No mercedes gt63 se will smoke m5 cs. That is way faster plz check that is another level 0.180 mph will tell u what am saying not even close at all@@austinaustin2751
Revuelto vs that brabus 911 rocket should be a pretty interesting race since the brabus 911 rocket took 10 seconds for the 1/4 mile while the revuelto takes 9.9/9.8 to do the 1/4 mile.
12:11 Doesn’t the standard turbo s do the 1/4 mile in like 10,1 seconds. I even think I saw a vid where it did like a 9,9 maybe. Is the brabus just looks??
He said it has traction problems off the line. Didnt you see it bouncing off rev limiter? I think it loses to much there so it then has to chase down the time.
Carwow really needs to check their cone positioning. If you guys remember, the Turbo S did the timing around 3 years back. Now Ig their cone positioning has changed, bcoz in the recent videos the 1/4 mile timings of all cars reduced by 0.2 seconds or even more. In the recent vids the best timing the Turbo S had was either 10.3 or 10.4 seconds. It's same with every other car, the model S and SF90 do 9.9 seconds instead of 9.6 seconds which they used to do earlier. They possibly changed the cone positioning and made it further apart which results in this. If u remember in the McLaren 750S vs McLaren 720S video, the 750S did a 10.4 or something and the 720S did a 10.6, and we clearly know that the 720S had done a 10.4 against Yianni's Aventador S Roadster. So it has do with the current cone psotions, if you compare the 1/4 timings of all recent drag races and compare them with old drag races then there's a big deviation in timing. So in accordance to that, the Porsche is shown 0.3 seconds slower as new Turbo S drag races show 10.4, so here it did 10.0 seconds means the actual timing according to the old metrics would be like 9.7 seconds. You can check if I'm wrong, cuz the last time we ever saw a Turbo S doing 10.1 was over 2.5 yrs ago, the most recent vids show 10.4 or max to max 10.3. And not just that, Carwow also removed the 1 mile rolling races, earlier we saw many races like Ferrari Roma, Aston Martin DBS and Bentley Conetinental GT drag race where the Roma was beaten by the Aston in the 1/2 mile but Roma came past by the time they reached 1 mile. So, it seriously has to do something with them. Nowadays we ain't getting all of those.
They do not measure the times based on the positioning of the cones. They have GPS units on board which measure the times. If you look at the start of the video you can see that they’re stuck on the passenger side of the car along with the cameras with suction cups. When Matt does his solo videos he actually shows you the unit he uses. Times vary when you run a car a different times because of different wind speed, air density, etc.
But it can't just reduce timings of all cars by the same margin. Like I said, it's not just the Turbo S, the SF90, the Model S Plaid, McLaren 720S and 750S, all these car's performance figures are deviated by this 0.2-0.3 seconds error. So, that's why I think it is. And their might be the timer at that place cuz in the F1cars and Moto GP bikes I don't think they can place the timing device like on normal cars. So, probably it has to do with the positioning of cones and cameras. Or, maybe their surface has become worse.
@@prayasdash Again: they are using GPS VBOX-type time measurement tool, not cones. Cone placement will not change the results one bit. I own a VBOX. It does not have a camera. You can see Matt using one here to test the GT3, at 19:03 . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BKKrcga3y24.htmlsi=dObycjQdipCM_fA3
