Some may ask why any minivan should be allowed to produce 455 hp and 431 lb-ft of torque. Shouldn't the kiddies be protected from potential hoonage at all costs? First, the Merc bunch would squash your juice box if they heard you calling the R-Class a minivan, and second, sometimes said kiddies should be left with an au pair (that's what hidden video cameras are for). The Danes from Kleemann are the ones responsible for bolting a supercharger onto an R500 to make such a beast. They've also added a set of their 20" wheel styles over cross-drilled, vented discs and eight-pot calipers. If your trip includes a twisty run to the German border, you can opt for Kleemann's electonic body-lowering module, which does just what it says. "How long till we get there?" you ask, rugrat? Sooner than you think. [Gallery]
