BRABUS' latest creation, the SV12 R Biturbo 800, is the self-proclaimed "World's Most Powerful and Fastest Luxury Sedan" and it's hard to argue against this claim.Based on the V12-powered S 600 sedan, the SV12 R Biturbo 800 boasts 588 kW at 5,500 rpm and an even more impressive peak torque of 1,420 Nm - limited electronically to 1,100 Nm - available from a low 2,100 rpm. All this extra power and torque has been extracted from a 0.8-litre increase in displacement to 6.3-litres courtesy of a special crankshaft with longer stroke, precision-balanced piston rods, larger-diametre pistons and corresponding larger cylinder bore. The inner workings of the BRABUS engine are modified further by high-performance camshafts and flow-optimised cylinder heads.
There's also a newly developed biturbo system with two special high-performance manifolds with integrated turbine housings and high-performance turbochargers, a high-performance exhaust system with sport catalysts and four exhaust tips and newly calibrated engine electronics with precision-programmed mapping for injection and ignition.
The extraordinary performance figures elevate the BRABUS SV12 R Biturbo 800 to the exalted position of the world's most powerful and fastest luxury sedan. Acceleration times from 0 to 100 km/h of 3.9 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h in just 10.3 seconds are as unmatched in this vehicle category as is the electronically limited top speed of 350 km/h!
To ensure that this level of performance can be enjoyed safely at all times BRABUS also significantly upgrades suspension, brakes and aerodynamics.
These upgrades naturally also include tyres capable of handling the speeds this car is capable of. The SV12 R Biturbo 800 can be equipped with BRABUS Monoblock wheels with diameters ranging from 19 to 21 inches. The largest version features wheels in size 9Jx21 on the front axle and in size 10.5Jx21 in the rear. These wheels are available in four distinct designs: Three-piece forged and high-gloss polished BRABUS Monoblock VI wheels with six double spokes, multi-spoke Monoblock E wheels, Monoblock S wheels with double-spoke design and especially exclusive Monoblock F PLATINUM EDITION forged wheels with cross-spoke design. All wheels are mounted with Pirelli or YOKOHAMA tyres in sizes 265/30 ZR 21 in front and 295/30 ZR 21 on the rear axle.
BRABUS ensures extremely high directional stability with a sporty yet elegant designer suit developed in the wind tunnel. The BRABUS front fascia lends the S-Class an even more striking face while its sophisticated shape reduces lift on the front axle. The large central air inlet optimizes cooling of engine and front brakes. Integrated auxiliary headlamps and LED daytime running lights further improve active safety. The BRABUS front spoiler lip is made from clear-coated carbon fiber and attaches to the underside of the BRABUS front fascia. It further optimises the car's aerodynamic properties.
For an even more extravagant appearance of the sedan BRABUS offers custom-tailored aluminum front fenders that replace their production counterparts. The exclusive character of these fenders is embodied by an integrated air vent made from clear-coated carbon fiber and a horizontal brace that spans the vent with embossed BRABUS signet and integrated LED lights. The latter are activated just like the ones in the BRABUS side sills via the keyless remote or by pulling on a door handle.
