The Brabus E V12 gets a 6.3-litre power train
Brabus, the famous German tuning specialists, developed this ultimate Mercedes E-Class and they claim it is the fastest sports sedan in the world.
The engine for the Brabus E V12 normally resides in the new Mercedes S 600. It was extensively modified by the Brabus powerplant engineers.
The engine delivers a maximum power output of 464 kW at 5100 rpm and produces an enormous maximum torque of 1 000Nm from 1 750 rpm. This is almost a 100kW and 300Nm more than the Mercedes E55.
Optimal lubrication is essential with this kind of power. That's why engine, custom five-speed automatic transmission and rear differential are all operated with high-performance lubricants from Brabus technology partner ARAL.
Performance figures for the Brabus E V12 Concept Car are on a level normally reserved for the world's very fastest sports cars: 0 - 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds, 12.9 seconds for 0 - 200 km/h and a top speed of 340 km/h are the most important figures of this exclusive high-performance sedan.
Special tyres
The enormous performance necessitates the use of special tyres and Brabus' technology partner Michelin supplied the exclusive footwear for this car.
The multi-piece Brabus Monoblock VI light-alloy wheels in sizes 8.5Jx19 on the front axle and 9.5Jx19 in the rear are fitted with Michelin high-performance tires in size 255/35 ZR 19 in front combined with 285/30 ZR 19 tires on the rear axle.
Brabus also custom-developed a matching BRABUS sport suspension and stronger sway bars. In addition Brabus equips the new E V12 with a custom high-performance brake system matched to the electro-hydraulic SBC brake system of the E-Class.
It features 375-millimeter disks and 12-piston aluminum calipers on the front axle and 6-piston calipers and 355-millimeter disks in the rear
