Yesterday, we showed you two teaser images released by Brabus for the upcoming Dubai Motor Show 2011. We tried to take a guess of what was in the photos and we were right, but not 100 percent. Yes, the first image does show a CL and we are dealing with 800 hp, but the second isn’t coming from another project - it belongs to the same car. So, what are we talking about?
Ladies and Gentlemen, behold the Brabus CL 800, a monstrous GT based on the CL 600. The twin-turbo V12 has had its displacement increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters, as it uses a custom crankshaft with a longer stroke, larger cylinder bore and new forged pistons.
The list of powerplant mods also includes four custom camshafts, as well as a new machining for the cylinder heads, a Brabus twin-turbo system that includes two custom exhaust manifolds with integrated turbine housings and four water-to-air intercoolers, a carbon fiber ram air intake and a stainless steel exhaust system that uses free-flow metal catalysts.
All the aforementioned goodies have brought the peak power to 800 hp (at 5,500 rpm) and the peak torque to 1,420 Nm (at 2,100 rpm). However, the torque is electronically limited to 1,100 Nm.
The five-speed auto gearbox has also been modified in order to withstand the new output, with the tuner also adding a limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40 percent.
The Brabus CL 800 needs 3.9 seconds for the 0 to 100 km/h sprint, while the 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) sprint takes 10.3 seconds. As for the top speed, this is electronically limited to 350 km/h (217 mph).
The vehicle rides on Brabus Monoblock wheels that can be ordered is sizes between 18 and 22 inches and also uses a lowering module for the ABC suspension, which allows the driver to bring the car 25 mm closer to the road at the touch of a button.
Stopping power comes from a fourth-generation Brabus braking system, which uses 405x34mm vented and cross-drilled rotors for the front axle and 380x34mm discs for the rear one.
The interior and exterior have also received a ton of attention and we’re inviting you to enjoy the new details in the image gallery.
