Way before the times of 7.3s and 330 km/h S-class coupes were converted by Brabus. This wild looking triple-white 500SEC with gold trim is a car that screams eighties so loud that even the 2000s can hear.... white Rials, a Brabus bodykit, US-headlamps in matching white, Boomerang antenna on the trunk, an all white interior with gold plated Clarion G80 and a custom dash Brabus-style....

A Brabus tuned Mercedes 500SEC which was the demonstrator for Brabus' first representative in Japan, Carrozzeria WoodBell. Fitted with a full Brabus bodykit, Woodbell's own AMG Penta-inspired wheels made under the BRS label, a custom grey leather interior and a Brabus (Mosselman supplied) supercharger, this thing was the real deal.

This car also came with a typically Japanese NTT Docomo telephone antenna.

Before superchargers came Brabus S-classes which were actually AMGs.... this white car with black trim shows the familiar "BOT - Z 1" licence plate on an early 80s Brabus built Mercedes 500SE with all AMG bodytrim. It was before Brabus Autosport had their own parts.

Another Brabus Autosport Mercedes W126 with the BOT- Z 1 licenseplate. This 500SEL is clearly a different car and fitted with Brabus' own spoiler kit consisting of front- and rear bumpers and typical tapered doorsills. Wheels are RIAL.
