With every new Mercedes, there is a new chance for German tuner Brabus to make it better - or uglier depending on your taste for aftermarket bodywork.

In this case, Brabus has taken the upcoming 2010 Mercedes-Benz E550 sedan and punched out its 5.5-liter engine to 6.1-liters. Combined with new camshafts and a reprogrammed ECU, the extra large V8 delivers 456-horsepower and 453 pound-feet of torque. 

Also available are various body pieces like a new front bumper that Brabus claims reduces front end lift along with reshaped front quarter panels and a new rear deflector plate and spoiler. The available wheels range in size from 17- to 20-inches while the brake kit features front rotors that measure 14.8-inches with 12-piston aluminum calipers. That ought to do it.

I can't get over how much the taillights look like a Lexus.
