Brabus Unveils the 800HP Black Baron

After many thought that the recently revealed 750HP SV12 R was the peak in the German tuner’s work, BRABUS has unveiled the limited edition E V12, dubbed The Black Baron. Based on the 2010 Mercedes E-Klasse W 212, the BRABUS EV12 truly deserves its title of nobility.

Fitted with a 6.0-liter V12 biturbo “bored out to 6.3-liters engine” the Baron develops a stunning power of 800 hp and 1,420 Nm of torque (still, it's electronically limited to 1,100 Nm). It will be produced in a limited run of just ten units, with prices starting at 600,000 euros ($875,000).

Before moving on with the car’s technical performances, let us tell you the engine has also received a ram-air system, a quad-exhaust, and revised engine electronics. Therefore, the sedan is now able to sprint from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds, 0-200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.9 seconds, and 0-300 km/h (186 mph) in 23.9 seconds, topping at an electronically limited speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).

All that power in the BRABUS E V12 Black Baron needed to be easily kept under control, so the tuners added a fully adjustable sports suspension, new stabilizers, a high performance braking system, and black 19-inch alloy wheels fitted with 255/35 (front) and 285/35 (rear) tires.

Furthermore, the Baron also received a number of major styling enhancements in order to improve aerodynamics, engine ventilation, and brake cooling. Modifications include a revised front bumper, new front quarter panels, aggressive side sills, and rear wheel covers, as well as a trunk-mounted spoiler and a carbon fiber rear diffuser at the rear.

On the inside, the car features black leather upholstery, Alcantara headliner, carbon fiber trim, and a 400 km/h (249 mph) speedometer.
