Actually Brabus was first to present a modified V12 with more than 1000Nm, Mercedes technicians initially said that this would be too much for the engine block, not to mention the gearbox. They somehow found a way to come up with that numbers, but I am just wondering if this really extends the car's character...



I see what you're saying about the car's character. I seem to hear from those who have driven the 65 cars that they don't offer a lot more than the 55 cars until pretty high speeds. The SL 55 is a great gran turismo, but it's no sports car. It would be interesting to see how much better, if any, the experience of the 65 would be.
