Brabus SV12 S Biturbo Coupe: tuned CL600
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 liter engine in the CL600 was both bored and stroked to 6.3 liter, 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.

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.
