The latest version of the Mercedes S600 luxury sedan has been tuned by German company Brabus, making it the world’s most powerful and fastest luxury four door sedan. The Brabus SV12 R Biturbo 800, as the name suggests, produces an amazing 800 horsepower (588 kW) at 5,500 rpm and a peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lbs-ft) available from just 2,100 rpm.
The car's performance figures are more impressive then ever before, as it’s top speed is now electronically limited to 350 km/h (217 mph), which is 10 km/h (6mph) more than the previous Biturbo 750. The size of the engine has been increased, as the standard 5.5-liter unit from the Mercedes S600 now has 6.3-liters (336 to 385 cubic inches), thanks to the special crankshaft with a longer stroke, a larger diameter cylinder and a new piston. Flow-optimized cylinder heard and better camshafts complete the modification package to the engine itself.
This monster of a car can now deal with the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in just 3.9 seconds. Couple that with an unmatched 10.3 sprint to 200 km/h (124 mph) and you realize this will keep up with most current supercars in a straight line.
To ensure that the car can cope with the strains of hiper-speed, Brabus has fitted Monoblock wheels with diameters ranging from 19 to 21 inches, wrapped in either Pirelli or YOKOHAMA tires. The brakes feature 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 back, insuring the all important stopping distances from high speed.
