Kim “Kimble” Schmitz drove twice the Gumball 3000. He entered the Gumball in 2001 with his Brabus Megacar and his E55 AMG service car. Unfortunately the E55 AMG crashed in the last stage of the rally. Three years later he entered again with a Mercedes, this time he came up with a “CL3000″ and a Brabus SL service car.
The tuned Mercedes Brabus SL demonstrated how fast this beast really was. Top speed? 193 mph (295 kmh). More pictures inside.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls: Torquenstein is one of the participants with a 500+ horsepower, turbocharged, black GT40. He had a viper Venom in 2004, but was running 130 mph over a slight bump and the Viper lost control. It is great for flat track racing, but the Viper is not great on rally racing. He is totally focused on getting across the finish line first. His co-pilot, Eric von Mad Maxx, has the same objective. These two guys are hungry and well prepared to challenge the other 120 plus racers. Some competitive vehicles are Maserati, Ferrari, Audi, BMW, Koenigsegg, Lamborgihini etc. And of course, they are all high powered. Do you wonder if they have the kind of protection Torquenstein has?
