Brabus has applied it’s tuning touch on the new Mercedes Benz CL600, resulting in the Brabus SV12 S Biturbo Coupe. Like it’s namesake, it is powered by the Brabus SV12 S Biturbo engine that Brabus seems to be plonking into all Mercedes Benz’s premium Brabus-tuned cars.
Basically, the 5.5 litre engine in the CL600 was both bored and stroked to 6.3 litre, and more optimised manifolds, larger turbos, and better efficiency intercoolers were installed. Of course, you can’t forget a better high-performance exhaust system to make the engine sound as good as it goes.
The result is 730 horsepower at 5,100rpm, and a potent 1320Nm at 2,100rpm. However, to help your gearbox and tyres have a lifespan of a wee bit longer, Brabus has electronically limited the torque output to 1,100Nm. Anyone for a tuned version of a tuned car without the torque limiter?

Can this oil-sucker engine get off the ground?
Probably yes, with a set of wings and propellers.
This thing makes more power than light aircrafts.
Noticed the lights at the side and rear skirtings. Nice….
Nice…can Brabus tune my waja to be like this? Hehehe…so damn cool….
BTW, what is the latest news bout the tune-up waja that is equipped with the Kleemann supercharger system???? Have they ditched the project? (sorry..out of the topic)
All of the power, none of the traction. See the Top gear episode with the previous CL going around the track, I think it just did better than an Evo or worst.
That takes nothing away from the fact that the CL is just AWESOME.
Nice sleek car, nad 1100nm of torque, with limiter! Monster! I want one, nice side entry lights.
Brabus V-engined cars are Torque monsters.
brabus always gets me a thumbs up!
Hoho damn…Now this is what i call a bloody car !! Such a grandeur and exalted masterpiece. Bravo Brabus.
