The Fastest and Most Powerful Office on Wheels in the World - BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo with 730 PS (720 hp), 1,320 Nm (974 lb-ft) and a Top Speed of 340 km/h (211 mph). The super high-performance automobile, based on the current Mercedes S 600, is powered by a BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo twelve-cylinder engine with 730 PS (720 hp) / 537 kW and a peak torque of 1,320 Nm (974 lb-ft).
The BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo engine was originally developed for the BRABUS ROCKET, the world’sfastest sedan with a top speed of 365.7 km/h (227.2 mph). This engine is a prime example for the old adage that nothing can replace displacement except more displacement. A special crankshaft with longer stroke, forged pistons with a larger diameter and an increased cylinder bore result in a displacement increase from standard 5.5 to now 6.3 liters (336 to 385 cu. in.). In addition the inlet and outlet ports of both cylinder heads are optimized for improved mixture flow. Four special camshafts also contribute to that same effect.
The BRABUS engine specialists further equip theengine with larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooling system and a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with four tailpipes and metal catalysts with low back pressure. Newly programmed engine electronics ensure that all new components work together flawlessly. They also contribute to maximum power yield and to meeting current exhaust emission limits.
With 730 PS (720 hp) / 537 kW at 5,100 rpm the BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo engine delivers superlative power. The same is true for its peak torque of 1,320 Nm (974 lb-ft) at 2,100 rpm. In the car peaktorque is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).
This extraordinary performance makes the BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo into not just the most powerful but also the fastest luxury sedan in the world: 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.0 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) after just 11.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph).
Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a modified five-speed automatic transmission. An optional BRABUS locking differential optimizes traction. All BRABUS powertrain components are operated exclusively with ARAL high-performance lubricants.BRABUS also offers performance tuning for the S 600 and S 65 models. The list ranges from the T12 performance kit for 580 PS (572 hp) / 419 kW to the T 65 S performance tuning that boosts power output of the S 65 model to 715 PS (705 hp) / 526 kW.
The enormous performance of the BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo place especially high demands on the vehicle’s aerodynamic properties. The BRABUS designers used the wind tunnel to develop a special front apron whose sophisticated shape reduces lift on the front axle. Its large central air inlet optimizes cooling of engine and front brakes.
For optimizing the airflow around the sides of the vehicle the designers shaped BRABUS rocker panels that feature integrated entrance lights for added utility.
The BRABUS aerodynamic-enhancement concept is rounded out with the BRABUS rear spoiler lip and the rear apron with integrated LED lights and custom-tailored cutouts for the BRABUS quad sport exhaust.
The enormous performance of the BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo is kept under safe control at all times by custom-tailored solutions for tires, brakes and suspension. These include BRABUS Monoblock light-alloy wheels with 20- or 21-inch diameters. The largest version features highly polished forged multi-piece BRABUS Monoblock VI or Monoblock E wheels in size 9Jx21 on the front axle and in size 10.5Jx21 in the back. These wheels are also available with a surface chrome-plated by galvanic coating. Extensive testing found Pirelli and YOKOHAMA tires in sizes 255/30 ZR 21 in front and 285/30 ZR 21 on the rear axle to be ideal.
The large wheels also create the necessary space to install the BRABUS high-performance brake system with 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 rear axle.
The finest entertainment and communication technologies on board a luxury sedan capable of reaching 340 km/h (211 mph): BRABUS has developed a business concept for the Mercedes S-Class that combines exclusivity, state-of-the-art technology and meticulous craftsmanship at the highest level of perfection.
At the heart of the system is an ultra-slim 3-GHz notebook computer housed safely in a docking station inside an electrically deployed drawer in the trunk, underneath the rear shelf. The tablet PC notebook can be easily removed for use outside the vehicle.
The entire BRABUS business concept equipment is operated via a second COMAND controller conveniently placed in a special console integrated into the rear compartment. This ensures that the user of the PC system has no problems operating the system if and when he or she moves from the driver’s seat to the power rear seats or vice versa. The console in the rear also houses a color printer.
A 15.2-inch 16:9 TFT screen serves as computer monitor. It is integrated into the supple leather of the headliner and deploys and retracts at the push of a button. The BRABUS computer is connected to the internet via UMTS. Two USB 2.0 ports integrated into the rear compartment allow connecting various peripherals such as a webcam for video conferencing or a digital camera. The printer is housed in a custom-developed console located between the rear seats.
For watching digital TV, a DVD or playing a video game the interior specialists from BRABUS have come up with an innovative solution for the new S-Class: They manufacture custom rear consoles for the front seatbacks, upholstered with the same leather as the seats. These consoles cover the entire rear of the seats including the headrests. The upper part of these seat consoles houses a seven-inch 16:9 LCD screen with integrated DVD player. The BRABUS seat consoles are also available with an integrated electric precious-wood folding table. The table tops are available with the same wood grains as the S-Class itself, and can be tilted at any angle. They offer ample space for studying documents or for the wireless keyboard of the computer system.
The computer’s integrated MP3 player can store more than 5,000 songs. The sound is carried by Sennheiser Noise Gard headphones that filter out unwanted noises for unparalleled listening enjoyment.
Maximum individuality and comfort in the interior is another specialty of the BRABUS interior designers. The product lineup ranges from scuff plates with illuminated BRABUS logo to ergonomically shaped sport steering wheels to exclusive BRABUS fully leather interiors crafted from especially soft yet durable BRABUS Mastik leather or finest Alcantara. The lineup also features electric privacy curtains in the rear.
