Supposedly this is a V10 quad-turbo putting out 1200rwhp and 2800nm of torque and does the .25 mile in 6.89sec. I suspect it's a one off custom but it looks like it's on a McLaren AMG platform. Anyone know more about this?

V-10 and quad-turbo doesn't really make sense.

Yeah, that's just a chrome SLR that's had the (functional) wheels replaced. All of the SLRs (722, 722 S, 722 GT, Roadster, Stirling Moss) are the same SC V8. Even the big Mercedes insulters (Hamman, Brabus, and Masonry) don't replace the engine.

If they were to do it tho it'd be 1 turbo per 2 cylinders and leave the other two cylinders alone. Look at this AMG 63 motor where Brabus runs one turbo through 3 cylinders instead of 4 on each side.
