2010 BRABUS E V12 based on E-class w212

At the Frankfurt Motor Show IAA 2009 the BRABUS E V12 “one of ten”
launched the fourth generation of the unique high-performance sedan based on the Mercedes E-Class w212. At the heart of the car lies the SV12 R Biturbo 800 evolution of the tried and proven BRABUS SV12 Biturbo displacement engine that fills the space in the modified E-Class engine bay. Before installation displacement of the twelve-cylinder engine from the latest Mercedes 600 models is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 384 cu. in.) The increase is facilitated with a special crankshaft with longer stroke, larger cylinder bore and precision-balanced piston rods and larger pistons. In addition, the cylinder heads are re-machined and fitted with special camshafts. The BRABUS E V12 Biturbo engine has a rated power output of 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. In the car peak torque is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).

The BRABUS E V12 delivers performance on a level that only a very few select super sports cars can hope to match: The sedan, which weighs in at 1,980 kilograms (4,365 lbs), sprints from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.7 seconds. After just 9.9 seconds the four-door car reaches a speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). The 300-km/h (186-mph) mark is reached after just 23.9 seconds. The top speed of 370 km/h (230 mph) is limited electronically for use on public roads to 350 km/h (217 mph).
