YES! Brabus is right back at it creating overpowered and utterly bonkers Mercedes’. And we’re grateful because in this age of electric and hybrid cars, it is heartwarming for petrolheads seeing such magnificent supercars, plus Brabus is very very cool. With the new SV12 T Biturbo 800, they reclaim the title of “World’s Most Powerful and Fastest Luxury Sedan”.
This SV12 S class gets the same good old V12 engine which has specially tuned to deliver 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW and a peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft – limited to 1100 Nm- 800 lb-ft) in this car! If we cut to the chase, that means 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).
Displacement of the V12 engine that normally powers the latest Mercedes 600 models is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 385 cu. in.) The displacement increase is the product of a special crankshaft with longer stroke, precision-balanced piston rods, larger-diameter pistons and corresponding larger cylinder bore. The inner workings of the BRABUS engine are modified further by high-performance camshafts and flow-optimized cylinder heads.
But there’s more to this car than just power and speed. You can customize the cabin of this car to your desired specs and garnish it with fully leather interiors in any color imaginable, Alcantara supplements and exclusive wood trim sets which can be ordered in any desired color thanks to an innovative staining technology. Or you can let Brabus turn it into a mobile luxury office with mind-blowing level of technology.
Other features of this unique Mercedes includes BRABUS Monoblock wheels with diameters ranging from 19 to 21 inches, BRABUS active body suspension system specially tweaked for this car, BRABUS high-performance brake system consisting of 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers and 380 x 36-mm (15.0 x 1.42 inches) vented and cross-drilled discs in front, and 355 x 28-mm (14.0 x 1.1 inches) discs and six-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the rear axle.
It also gets a bespoke body kit for a distinctive look, better aerodynamics and better cooling of engine and front brakes.
