This is the 2011 Mercedes CL 600 tuned by tuning specialists Brabus to a hearty 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW, 1,420 Nm (1,047 ft-lb) and a 350-km/h (217-mph) claimed top speed. In addition to its unique performance the two-door car’s most impressive features are its exclusive sporty-elegant design and its high-class interior.
The 12-cylinder engine of the CL 600 is reengineered thoroughly in the Brabus engine-building shop that is equipped with state-of-the-art machine tools. Displacement is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 384 cu. in.) with the help of a special Brabus crankshaft with longer stroke, larger cylinder bore and correspondingly larger forged pistons. Further performance-enhancing modifications to the engine itself are the fine-machining of the two cylinder heads for optimized mixture flow and the installation of four special camshafts.
The engine peripherals are modified extensively as well: the standard twin-turbo system is replaced with a high-end turbocharging system designed by the Brabus engine specialists. The new system features two custom exhaust manifolds with integrated turbine housings and high-performance turbochargers as well as four water-to-air intercoolers. The combustion air is supplied by a carbon-fiber ram-air intake integrated into the hood. In addition there is a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts.
If you think over the top coupe is your cup of tea, please call in at the Naza Brabus showroom in Bangsar and I am sure they will be happy to get you a unit.
