Looks like they've tried to copy the Carlsson Aigner CK65 Eau Rouge.

no way in hell could any merc currently on the market handle 1200nm. that's the thing a lot of the ricer-racer tuning companies haven't realised; if you give a car x% more performance, you need to upgrade every other component by the same amount, else it'll either rip itself apart or just spin up the rear wheels until they burst. 1200nm needs a hell of a lot more downforce, rubber and probably 4 wheel drive just to make it work

Actually, the driveline (post transmission) can handle up to 1300nm of tq. The 7 speed can handle 700ft lbs, stock. (although Mercedes wants there tranny to last 200K, so they downplay it at 500-600) And the five-speed has been rated at some astronomical tq number like 1200nm, right at this limit. I wonder if thats the 5-speed or the 7? You are right about the traction though. Theres no efficient way to put 1200nm of tq to two wheels. If you've ever been in any Mrecedes 65 car you know what 600HP feels like fighting the ESP computer. Its not fun, or comfortable. I'd have to do this to a 4matic to make it worth while.
