Brabus E V12 Black Baron

Brabus has taken the rather sterile Mercedes E-Class and turned it into a fire-breathing monster deemed the “Black Baron” which houses a twin turbo, 6.3 liter V12 that is capable of producing a galactic 800 horsepower.

2011 Maserati GranCabrio

Once again, Maserati comes through in grand fashion. Just as we found out that we weren’t on the list for the Alfa Romeo Spider, Maserati has rescued the summer from complete ruin.
