Brabus SV12 R pe baza lui Mercedes Clasa S

World Debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show IAA 2009

• The Fastest and Most Powerful Office on Wheels in the World

• 1,350 Nm (995 lb-ft) and 340 km/h (211 mph)

With the business version of the BRABUS SV12 R BRABUS presents
the world’s fastest and most powerful luxury sedan. The
high-performance automobile reaches a top speed of 340 km/h (211
mph). It is built based on the latest Mercedes S 600 facelift model
and is powered by a BRABUS SV12 R Biturbo 750 twelve-cylinder
engine with 750 hp (740 bhp) / 552 kW and a peak torque of 1,350 Nm
(995 lb-ft).

The BRABUS SV12 R Biturbo 750 engine is a prime example for the
old adage that nothing can replace displacement except more
displacement. A special crankshaft with longer stroke, forged
pistons with a larger diameter and an increased cylinder bore
result in a displacement increase from standard 5.5 to now 6.3
liters (336 to 385 cu. in.). In addition the inlet and outlet ports
of both cylinder heads are optimized for improved mixture flow.
Four special camshafts also contribute to that same effect.

The BRABUS engine specialists further equip the engine with
larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooling system and a
stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with four tailpipes
and metal catalysts with low back pressure. Newly programmed engine
electronics ensure that all new components work together
flawlessly. They also contribute to maximum power yield and to
meeting current exhaust emission limits.

The rated power output of 750 hp (740 bhp) / 552 kW at 5,500 rpm
produced by the BRABUS SV12 R Biturbo 750 engine is as superlative
as the peak torque of 1,350 Nm (995 lb-ft) at 2,100 rpm. In the car
peak torque is electronically limited to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).

This extraordinary performance makes the BRABUS SV12 R not just
the most powerful but also the fastest luxury sedan in the world: 0
– 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.0 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) after just
11.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 340 km/h
(211 mph).

Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a modified
five-speed automatic transmission. An optional BRABUS locking
differential optimizes traction. All BRABUS powertrain components
are operated exclusively with ARAL high-performance lubricants.

BRABUS also offers performance tuning for the S 600 and S 65
models. The list ranges from the T12 performance kit for 580 hp
(572 bhp) / 419 kW to the T 65 S performance tuning that boosts
power output of the S 65 model to 715 hp (705 bhp) / 526 kW.

This enormous performance potential of the BRABUS SV12 R places
the highest demands on the car’s aerodynamic properties. The
aerodynamic-enhancement components for the facelift generation of
the Mercedes S-Class were designed from scratch. The BRABUS
designers went into the wind tunnel to develop a striking front
apron whose sophisticated shape reduces lift on the front axle. The
large centrally located air duct optimizes the cooling of engine
and front brakes. Integrated auxiliary headlights and LED daytime
running lights further improve active safety.

To make the S-Class sedan even more extravagant the BRABUS
designers have developed custom-tailored front aluminum sport
fenders that replace their production counterparts. The exclusive
appearance is characterized by an air vent made from clear-coated
carbon and a horizontal brace that spans the outlet with embossed
BRABUS signet and integrated LED lights. The latter are activated
just like the ones in the BRABUS rocker panels via the keyless
remote or by pulling on a door handle.

For optimizing the airflow around the sides of the vehicle the
designers shaped BRABUS rocker panels 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 and the new rear apron for the
facelift-generation of the S-Class. The latter features a centrally
located reflector and custom cutouts for the BRABUS quad sport
exhaust system. The underside of the rear apron also features
integrated LED lights which illuminate the ground behind the
vehicle. They help avoid any unfortunate missteps into puddles of
potholes lurking in the dark.

The enormous performance of the BRABUS SV12 R is kept safely
under control with custom-tailored solutions for tires, brakes and
suspension. They include BRABUS Monoblock light-alloy wheels with
diameters ranging from 17 to 21 inches.

The largest version features size 9Jx21 wheels on the front axle
and size 10.5Jx21 in back. Customers can choose from three
different designs: Three-piece forged and high-gloss polished
BRABUS Monoblock VI wheels with six double spokes, Monoblock E
multi-spoke wheels and the especially exclusive Monoblock F
PLATINUM EDITION forged wheels with cross-spoke design. All
versions are fitted with Pirelli or YOKOHAMA tires in size 265/30
ZR 21 in front and in size 295/30 ZR 21 on the rear axle.

For all S 350, S 500 and S 350 CDI models with short wheelbase
BRABUS also certified Monoblock VI, E, G, Q and S wheels in size
10Jx22 with high-performance tires in size 275/25 ZR 22 in front
combined with size 295/25 ZR 22 tires on the rear axle. Thanks to a
tire design specifically calibrated for luxury sedans and
high-performance coupes the new BRABUS tire/wheel combination
offers sporty and agile handling combined with excellent ride
comfort.

The large wheels also create the necessary space for installing
the BRABUS high-performance brake system with 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.

The finest entertainment and communication technologies on board
a luxury sedan capable of reaching 340 km/h (211 mph): BRABUS has
developed a business concept for the Mercedes S-Class that combines
exclusivity, state-of-the-art technology and meticulous
craftsmanship at the highest level of perfection.

At the heart of the system is an ultra-slim 3-GHz notebook
computer housed safely in a docking station inside an electrically
deployed drawer in the trunk, underneath the rear shelf. The tablet
PC notebook can be easily removed for use outside the vehicle.

The entire BRABUS business concept equipment is operated via a
second COMAND controller conveniently placed in a special console
integrated into the rear compartment. This ensures that the user of
the PC system has no problems operating the system if and when he
or she moves from the driver’s seat to the power rear seats or vice
versa. The console in the rear also houses a color printer.

A 15.2-inch 16:9 TFT screen serves as computer monitor. It is
integrated into the supple leather of the headliner and deploys and
retracts at the push of a button. The BRABUS computer is connected
to the internet via UMTS. Two USB 2.0 ports integrated into the
rear compartment allow connecting various peripherals such as a
webcam for video conferencing or a digital camera. The printer is
housed in a custom-developed console located between the rear
seats.

To display the images from digital TV, DVD, Blu-Ray disc or game
console the BRABUS interior specialists have developed an interface
that transmits the signals to the extendable screen in the roof and
to the standard screens in the back of the front headrests. Also
available for the S-Class are special BRABUS seat consoles with
integrated tables that deploy at the push of a button. The table
tops are bordered by elegant aluminum frames and are available in
the same wood grains as the factory trim options of the S-Class or
in custom BRABUS veneers or even covered with leather. The angle of
the table top is infinitely adjustable and the tables offer ample
space for perusing documents or for the wireless keyboard of the
BRABUS computer system.

The computer’s integrated MP3 player can store more than 5,000
songs. The sound is carried by Sennheiser Noise Gard headphones
that filter out unwanted noises for unparalleled listening
enjoyment.

Maximum individuality and comfort in the interior is another
specialty of the BRABUS interior designers. That includes electric
curtains that provide the rear passengers with privacy. But that’s
not all: The list of options ranges from scuff plates with
illuminated BRABUS logo to ergonomically shaped sport steering
wheels to stainless-steel pedals.

Especially exclusive is the newly created BRABUS Yachting
precious-wood combination of maple and tropical Wenge wood, which
lends the luxury sedan a maritime ambiance. In traditional
craftsmanship hundreds of individual pieces are used to recreate
every piece of wood trim in the S-Class in the style of a miniature
ship veneer. The combination of maple and Wenge woods features
traditional open pores but is sealed according to the latest
automotive guidelines.

As a stylish and perfectly crafted complement the company
upholstery shop created an elegant fully leather interior in a
combination of light-beige and dark-brown leather that is
especially soft, breathable and extremely durable
