Brabus SV12 R Biturbo 800 2011

Specialist Car | Brabus SV12 R Biturbo 800 2011 | Twelve-cylinder high-capacity engines in the Mercedes-Benz S 600 look back on almost two decades of tradition at Brabus. Powered by the SV12 R Biturbo 800 engine originally developed for the Brabus E V12 “one of ten” the automotive luxury class now attains a new level of performance.

 

Displacement of the V12 engine that normally powers the latest Mercedes 600 models is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 385 cu. in.). The Brabus SV12 R Biturbo 800 engine produces 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW at 5,500 rpm and an even more impressive peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft), available from a low 2,100 rpm. For technical reasons peak torque is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft). Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a reinforced five-speed automatic transmission. A Brabus high-performance limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40 percent is available as an option.

The extraordinary performance figures elevate the Brabus SV12 R Biturbo 800 to the exalted position of the world’s most powerful and fastest luxury sedan. Acceleration times from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) of 3.9 seconds and of just 10.3 seconds to 200 km/h (124 mph) are as unmatched in this vehicle category as is the electronically limited top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).

These upgrades naturally also include tires capable of handling the speeds this car is capable of. The Brabus SV12 R Biturbo 800 can be equipped with Brabus Monoblock wheels with diameters ranging from 19 to 21 inches. The largest version features wheels in size 9Jx21 on the front axle and in size 10.5Jx21 in the rear. These wheels are available in four distinct designs: Three-piece forged and high-gloss polished Brabus Monoblock VI wheels with six double spokes, multi-spoke Monoblock E wheels, Monoblock S wheels with double-spoke design and especially exclusive Monoblock F Platinum Edition forged wheels with cross-spoke design. All wheels are mounted with Pirelli or Yokohama tires in sizes 265/30 ZR 21 in front and 295/30 ZR 21 on the rear axle.

The Brabus developed an electronics module for the Active Body Control suspension that lowers the ride height by some 15 millimeters (0.6 inches).

Maximum deceleration is even more important than exceptional acceleration and thus the Brabus high-performance brake system is part of the high-tech package of the Brabus SV12 R Biturbo 800. The brake features 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.
