Oh my...
Famed Mercedes tuner Brabus will showcase a 730 horsepower S-Class at the Geneva Motor. The car is based on the 2007 Mercedes S 600 and is powered by a Brabus S V12 S Biturbo twelve-cylinder engine. 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. 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. Torque peaks at 1,320 Nm at 2,100 rpm. Zero to 100 km/h is accomplished in 4.0 seconds, while zero to 200 km/h takes just 11.9 seconds. And an electronically limited top speed of 340 km/h should be sufficient for most drivers of this luxury sedan.
