The Brabus 850 6.0 Cabrio Is Officially The Fastest Way To Destroy Your Hair In A Car
For most, the shouty V8 products of Mercedes-AMG belt out more than enough power. For everyone else, there’s Brabus, and the German tuner’s latest effort looks suitably mad. It’s called the 850 6.0 Cabrio, and to create it, Brabus has taken a drop-top Mercedes S63 with its mere 577bhp and cranked the V8 violence up to 838bhp, which is (fortunately) doled out to all four wheels. Oh, and it’s also good for 1069lb ft of torque. Should do.
Up front you’ll find AMG’s tried and tested 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8. Well, at least that’s what it used to be, but there’s now very little of the original engine left. It displaces 6.0 litres (as you probably gathered from the ‘6.0’ bit of the name), and has received a new forged crankshaft, pistons, rods and a revised cylinder head.
With the newfound power, the 850 will get you from 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds - down from 4.4 - and on to top speed of 217mph. Not only is that enough to completely destroy your hair, it also - according to Brabus - makes for the world’s fastest production convertible.
There’s no word on price, but it’d be safe to assume all those engine changes, the bare carbonfibre body additions and the 21-inch front/22-inch rear forged wheels don’t come particularly cheap. If you have to ask, and all that…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I want to know what that giant testicle thing in the background is!
It’s a gauge to know if your balls are big enough to drive it …
When the hair salon opens in 2 minutes, but you are running late.
So the ultimate Hair Dressers car?
If this is considered production, then wouldn’t it be the venom roadster?
Brabus: Hennessey’s German twin
But Brabus isn’t a thief that rips off customers.
Hahahaha i laughed too hard at this
AHAHAHAHAAAA
It’ll make you loose your mind.
If you drive this beast topless at over ~150mph, you will bleed out of your ears
That’s What She Said!
Silly Brabus
But is it classified as a production car?
Silly person, Hennessy Venom isn’t considered a production car yet
How can it be so slow with AWD, 838 bhp and 1000+ lb ft??
It almost weighs 5000 pounds.
Because the weight of its driver’s enormous balls slow it down.
