Killer Brabus - evil looking beast

Modest 800 hp. That is what the experienced Mercedes tuners from BRABUS have squeezed under the hood of the new Mercedes E-Class Coupé.

True to tradition, the hot-tempered super car is painted black everywhere and has been stripped of the star on the radiator - emphasizing the evil look.

But the 800 hp is not the most impressive of this car. It is actually the raw torque of the V12 bi-turbo. 1420 Nm available already from 2100 rpm. BRABUS has had to put a electronic limit at 1100 Nm, in order to give the car a chance to transfer forces to the road!

Its top speed is also limited. But luckily only at 217 mph (350 km/h). And the speed it takes not long to achieve. 60 mph takes only 3.7 seconds - 186 mph (300 km/h) is reached after 23.9 seconds.

Facts:
Engine: V12 800 bhp
Top speed: Limited to 217 mph (350 km/h)
0-60: 3.5 seconds
Price: Prototype

Brabus police car

The German Autobahn (highway) is among the fastest in the world - some stretches even without speed limits and people from all over Europe drives to Germany for this reason alone. So it is not a surprise that the police need something truly extraordinary to patrol the autobahn.
The supercar builder Brabus has taken a Mercedes Benz CLS V12 and turned it into a evermore awesome ride - although the car is mostly for PR purposes as it show the technically skills of Brabus.
