German supertuner Brabus has transformed the Mercedes S 600 into what it modestly calls
“the world’s fastest and most powerful luxury sedan.” It doesn’t sound like exaggeration, either – the Brabus
V12 S Biturbo puts out a stunning 730 hp and a peak torque of 974 foot-pounds through a hard-working 5-speed automatic
transmission.
The standard 5.5-liter engine is stroked and bored to 6.3-liters, and gets a full porting
treatment, special camshafts and bigger turbochargers. All that engine work pays off with a 0-62 mph time of 4.0
seconds. Pretty damned impressive for a two-ton sedan! Top speed is restricted to a modest 211 mph.
21-inch
wheels, monster brakes with 12-piston calipers up front, 6-piston in the rear, an aero body kit, and an uprated
suspension complete the picture for the uber-sedan.
