Geneva 2010: Brabus Delivers Another Amazing Makeover - The E V12 Coupe

(March 6, 2010 )

Brabus is based in Bottrop, Germany and is famed for the fantastic makeovers that?it gives Mercedes-Benz models. It usually takes the milder Mercedes-Benz products – the C, E, S class or the G and GL class SUVs- and invests them with a grandeur that?warranty and cost concerns would not permit AMG to think about. The Brabus E V12 coupe that was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this week?exemplifies what we are talking about.

The front fender and the rear fender are made out of carbon fiber. It has a carbon fiber rear diffuser too. The rear spoiler is defined as?"essential for well-balanced aerodynamics at high speed." The car’s exterior has a radical design, while the interior has illuminated sill plates, carbon fiber trim at all places and a new steering wheel.

Brabus has used the same method for the E V12 coupe as it had done with the E V12 sedan. After taking apart the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-12 from the Benz -Modification_31.html'>Mercedes S600, Brabus has enlarged it to 6.3 liters by widening the bores, inserting new pistons and a new crankshaft, along with a new intake system and new camshafts, and then put the whole thing inside an E-class coupe. The end product delivers a? whopping 788 horsepower and 1047 pound-feet of torque. Brabus claims that the E V12 coupe shall speed from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, from 0 to 124 miles per hour in 9.9 seconds and from 0 to 186 miles per hour in 23.9 seconds. The top speed is 217 miles per hour, although Brabus asserts that the car is capable of taking it up to 230 miles per hour.

The car is priced at €478,000.
