Brabus SV12 S Biturbo

Brabus unveil their new mad-Mercedes

---

Brabus have yet again gone tuning mad with their new super-Merc. Using the CL600 model as a baseline they have strapped in the engine from the Brabus Rocket and created the Brabus SV12 S Biturbo.

This genetically modified Merc puts out 730 bhp at 5,100 rpm and has a peak torque of 1,230 Nm – which is electronically limited to 1,100 Nm at 2,100 rpm. This allows the Brabus SV12 S coupe to reach 62mph from a standstill in 4.0 seconds, 120mph in under 12 seconds and keeps on going to an electronically limited top speed of 211mph.

Brabus are claiming this is one of the fastest Gran Turismo cars in the world – let alone one of the most powerful - and to achieve these records the engineers have had to fit four special camshafts, bore out the cylinders, add a custom crankshaft with a longer stroke and custom make the cylinder heads.

A modified five-speed automatic is fitted to the car – along with an optional locking differential – to help the car transfer the power to the road through its rear wheels. Externally a new front bumper has been developed in the wind tunnel to reduce the lift on the front axle and help the cooling of the engine and front brakes - which at these speeds you would hope work.

As a useful additional feature these panels come with integrated entrance lights. The rear fascia also features three LED lights recessed in the underside of the fascia to facilitate loading and unloading the trunk in the dark.

Oh come on It's just another uber fast Brabus. Next week there'll be another one. At least this time they've pre blinged it for their customers.

Am I right that 1230nm is 907lbft of torque

So, how much is it?

[road_terrorist]

Wow another gigantic coupe or something that looks like one, with the same old modified twin turbo V12, how about something new for a change, supercharge the 6.3L V8 or something different.

[Trenchtown]

Curious on what their estimated salesvolume is...

4 seconds for a car of that weight in RWD with an auto box? Something tells me that's either a bit optimistic the one perfect launch you might never do on cut slicks.

Still, f**king awesome beast.

Why bother with a wimpy 6,3 V8 when theres V12`s to be tampered with

ohh and i just noticed ,, how Green of them to limit it to 211mph Brabus must be getting soft

[Frank1e]

I want one.

And I want the LED lights set up so they get brighter when the revs are higher. Sweeeeeeet.

[b11ocx]

As with all big Mercs, £5,000 with 50,000 miles in 10 Years......

Thats what I thought - limited to 211 - spoilsports.

Out of the Brabus stable I'd quite fancy this:



Or if I was a builder/airport taxi driver in a hurry:

Well there are twenty clubs in the Premiership, each with 15 - 18 core players in the first team, plus the manager...

[astrsxi77]

And still not a manual box in sight...
