Jalopnik Snap Judgement: Although we totally dig the styling, and those horsepower numbers are through the roof, at that pricepoint, we'd rather wait for the 2011 Mercedes SLC gullwing supercar.

Advance pics and details from eMercedesbenz show a look similar to previous BRABUS SL's, though with slightly revised front/rear aprons and side skirts, as well as new wheels. There's no word yet on the revised power, though the previous generation was good for 730 hp, enough power for a 0-62 mph trip in 4 seconds and a top speed in the 217 mph range. [eMercedesBenz]
