Brabus E V12





765 ft lbs of Torque

The BRABUS E V12 of the model year 2004 is powered by the Brabus SV 12 Biturbo increased-displacement engine, which is implanted with almost surgical precision into the modified engine bay of the E-Class.

The displacement of the 12-cylinder biturbo engine, which normally resides in a current Mercedes S600 model, is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters. The increase is facilitated with the installation of a custom-designed one-piece crankshaft, larger diameter pistons, corresponding larger bore and precision-balanced piston rods. The BRABUS engine is further fitted with sport camshafts, precision-machined cylinder heads, a stainless-steel high-performance sport exhaust system with metal catalysts and four exhaust tips as well as newly programmed engine electronics.

With these modifications the engine of the BRABUS E V12 delivers a whopping 640 hp (471 kW) at 5,100 rpm and an even more impressive peak torque of 765 ft lbs (1026 Nm) available from just 1,750 rpm.

Thus equipped the new BRABUS E V12 delivers performance that places the sedan on a level with the world's fastest sports cars: 4.2 seconds for 0 to 100 km/h, 12.9 seconds for 0 to 200 km/h and an electronically limited top speed of 340 km/h are the performance cornerstones of this exclusive high-performance sedan.

They're kind of like Dinan or AC Schnitzer. They're the Mercedes tuners.

AMG is like the ///M-group for BMW. They're the tuners from the factory. (Kind of like a beefed up version of the type-S stuff.) Dinan and Brabus and companies like that do aftermarket parts, but for only one brand. Think: Mugen and Spoon.

I'd stick with the S65 AMG myself or see if Brabus can do anything to that engine. 6.5 liter bi-turbo V12 w/ 612 HP and 738lb./ft torque. Then again, if I had $200k to spend on one car I'd just buy a Bentley
