BRABUS SV12 R Biturbo 800

The World’s Most Powerful and Fastest Luxury Sedan

BRABUS SV12 R Biturbo 800: 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW and a peak torque of 1,420 Nm
(1,047 lb-ft) transform the Mercedes S 600 in latest BRABUS specification into the world’s
most powerful luxury sedan. But that’s not all: With an electronically limited top speed of 350
km/h (217 mph) the exclusive four-seater also wins the ‘Blue Ribbon’as the world’s fastest
luxury liner. BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, D-46240 Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777-0, fax +
49 / (0) 2041 / 777 111, Internet www.brabus.com) rounds out the new high-performance
standard with a sporty yet elegant designer suit, custom-tailored wheels with diameters of up
to 21 inches, a high-performance brake system and customer-specific interior upgrades
including a state-of-the-art “iBusiness”multimedia system with Apple components.
Twelve-cylinder high-capacity engines in the S-Class look back on almost two decades of
tradition at BRABUS. Powered by the SV12 R Biturbo 800 engine originally developed for the
BRABUS E V12 “one of ten”the automotive luxury class now attains a new level of
performance.

Displacement of the V12 engine that normally powers the latest Mercedes 600 models is
increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 385 cu. in.) The displacement increase is the product
of a special crankshaft with longer stroke, precision-balanced piston rods, larger-diameter
pistons and corresponding larger cylinder bore. The inner workings of the BRABUS engine
are modified further by high-performance camshafts and flow-optimized cylinder heads.
The new air intake was custom-developed to fit in the available space under the hood of the
S-Class. The combustion air is routed through a special carbon-fiber system. Also newly
developed was the BRABUS Biturbo system with two special high-performance manifolds
with integrated turbine housings and high-performance turbochargers. The system also
includes four water-to-air intercoolers. The BRABUS stainless-steel high-performance
exhaust system with sport catalysts and four exhaust tips with BRABUS-characteristic design
optimizes power yield and gives the engine a more dominant exhaust note.

Newly calibrated engine electronics with precision-programmed mapping for injection and
ignition ensure exemplary power yield and compliance with strict EURO V emission limits.
The high-tech lubricants for the entire powertrain are supplied by technology partner ARAL.
The SV12 R Biturbo 800 engine produces 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.
For technical reasons peak torque is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).
Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a reinforced five-speed automatic transmission. A
BRABUS high-performance limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40 percent is
available as an option.

The extraordinary performance figures elevate the BRABUS SV12 R Biturbo 800 to the
exalted position of the world’s most powerful and fastest luxury sedan. Acceleration times
from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) of 3.9 seconds and of just 10.3 seconds to 200 km/h (124 mph)
are as unmatched in this vehicle category as is the electronically limited top speed of 350
km/h (217 mph).

To ensure that this level of performance can be enjoyed safely at all times BRABUS also
significantly upgrades suspension, brakes and aerodynamics.

These upgrades naturally also include tires capable of handling the speeds this car is
capable of. The SV12 R Biturbo 800 can be equipped with BRABUS Monoblock wheels with
diameters ranging from 19 to 21 inches. The largest version features wheels in size 9Jx21 on
the front axle and in size 10.5Jx21 in the rear. These wheels are available in four distinct
designs: Three-piece forged and high-gloss polished BRABUS Monoblock VI wheels with six
double spokes, multi-spoke Monoblock E wheels, Monoblock S wheels with double-spoke
design and especially exclusive Monoblock F PLATINUM EDITION forged wheels with crossspoke
design. All wheels are mounted with Pirelli or YOKOHAMA tires in sizes 265/30 ZR 21
in front and 295/30 ZR 21 on the rear axle.

To further improve the already excellent driving dynamics of the high-performance luxury
sedan BRABUS developed an electronics module for the Active Body Control suspension
that lowers the ride height by some 15 millimeters (0.6 inches).

Maximum deceleration is even more important than exceptional acceleration and thus the
BRABUS high-performance brake system is part of the high-tech package of the SV12 R
Biturbo 800. The brake features 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers and 380 x 36-mm (15.0 x
1.42 inches) vented and cross-drilled discs in front, and 355 x 28-mm (14.0 x 1.1 inches)
discs and six-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the rear axle.

BRABUS ensures extremely high directional stability with a sporty yet elegant designer suit
developed in the wind tunnel. The BRABUS front fascia lends the S-Class an even more
striking face while its sophisticated shape reduces lift on the front axle. The large central air
inlet optimizes cooling of engine and front brakes. Integrated auxiliary headlamps and LED
daytime running lights further improve active safety. The BRABUS front spoiler lip is made
from clear-coated carbon fiber and attaches to the underside of the BRABUS front fascia. It
further optimizes the car’s aerodynamic properties.

For an even more extravagant appearance of the sedan BRABUS offers custom-tailored
aluminum front fenders that replace their production counterparts. The exclusive character of
these fenders is embodied by an integrated air vent made from clear-coated carbon fiber and
a horizontal brace that spans the vent with embossed BRABUS signet and integrated LED
lights. The latter are activated just like the ones in the BRABUS side sills via the keyless
remote or by pulling on a door handle.

For optimizing the airflow around the sides of the vehicle the designers sculpted BRABUS sill
skirts that feature integrated entrance lights for added utility. They are activated by the
keyless remote or by pulling on a door handle as are the blue-illuminated BRABUS logos
integrated into the scuff plates on both sides of the vehicle.

The BRABUS aerodynamic-enhancement concept is rounded out by the BRABUS rear
spoiler lip, also available in a clear-coated carbon-fiber version, and the new rear fascia with
centrally located reflector and custom cutouts for the BRABUS quad sport exhaust system.
The underside of the rear fascia also features integrated LED lights which illuminate the
ground behind the vehicle. They help avoid any unfortunate missteps into puddles or
potholes lurking in the dark.

BRABUS combines this high-performance technical feast with exclusive interior options that
suit each customer’s personal taste down to the last detail. These options include fully
leather interiors in any color imaginable, Alcantara supplements and exclusive wood trim sets
which can be ordered in any desired color thanks to an innovative staining technology.
A particular BRABUS specialty is the creation of state-of-the-art multimedia equipment
including the innovative BRABUS “iBusiness”concept, where the BRABUS specialists for the
first time have integrated Apple components into the vehicle electronics of the Mercedes SClass
