Auto Tune: Brabus gives the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe 788bhp

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Brabus, the German tuner has upgraded the Mercedes -Benz E-Class Coupe, giving it a whopping 788bhp with a V12 Biturbo engine.

Brabus calls its creation the EV12 Coupe Gran Turismo, and the car is capable of producing 788bhp and an incredible 1420Nm of torque. This allows the Brabus EV12 Gran Turismo to go from 0-100km/h in under 4 seconds, 0-200km/h in 9.9 seconds, 0-300km/h in 23.9 seconds, and reach its electronically-limited top speed of 350km/h.

Brabus upgraded the Mercedes-Benz’s 5.5-litre V12 to 6.3-litres, by installing a new crankshaft, larger cylinder bore and bigger pistons, as well as tinkering with the electronics, and of course, by adding its twin-turbo, called the Brabus SV12R Biturbo.

With the 5-speed automatic transmission, the power is transmitted that has been reinforced and enhanced with a high-performance limited slip differential for the rear-wheel drive system. Brabus has also installed a new air intake system and a stainless-steel sport exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts.

Brabus has also given the EV12 a new body kit made from carbon fibre, with the front sports fender with integrated air vents helping to reduce aerodynamic lift. Integrated LED daytime running lights and a coil-over suspension with adjustable ride height are also among the modifications, as are high-performance brakes and 19-inch rims
