Brabus 6.0 Biturbo 850 for Geneva

Brabus Mercs can never put the power down, right? Now there's an 850hp S63 4Matic...

---

Here is why we need 4Matic Mercedes models in the UK. So that Brabus can sell an S-Class coupe with 850hp that stands a chance of using more than 100.

Usual Brabus work in here...

This 850 6.0 Biturbo Coupe is the Brabus take on the S63 AMG Coupe. The regular 5,461cc V8 is bored and stroked to 5,912cc, just as a small starter. The two turbos are bigger, there are forged pistons, a new Brabus intake plus a new exhaust too. The result is that headline power figure being available at 5,400rpm and an engine capable of producing 1,069lb ft. However, for the "longevity of the entire powertrain" torque is limited to 848lb ft. Spoilsports.

The combination of that power, a seven-speed auto and four-wheel drive traction produces some ludicrous acceleration figures. 62mph in 3.5 seconds is impressive for something so gigantic but 9.4 seconds to 124mph is absurd. Brabus limits the Biturbo to 217mph because of tyre limitations. What the hell could it really do?

And here too, sadly

To maintain stability at those speed, the Biturbo sits 15mm lower than a normal S63. There are a few aero tweaks as well, including a rear diffuser, plus subtle (for a Brabus) spoilers front and back.

Being a Brabus there are a wide variety of increasingly outlandish wheels offered too. This car will roll onto the Geneva stand with 'Shadow Gold Chrome' 21-inch rims but 22s are available should you desire. And the interior? Discuss amongst yourselves...

Brabus will sell the 850 6.0 Biturbo Coupe as a finished car or retrofitted to a regular S63. No price has been announced yet; we would guess a very large briefcase from your chosen Swiss bank account will be required.

Maybe not in that colour combination but wow, what a machine!

[Amirhussain]

Nice

[GTEYE]

One word.

Mental.

[Fire99]

Strewth... Rear reminds me of a Mitsubishi FTO...

[pSyCoSiS]

Bonkers HP output again from Brabus.

[Krikkit]

Oof, what a thing! Forget the drug-dealer spec wheels, something a bit more subtle and that'd do nicely.

[405dogvan]

Oh my...

I think I just had a moment - I mean HOLY fkING JESUSCAKES that's a thing...

I'm guessing it costs approx. 25% of Wales - pollutes an area 25% of Wales and wouldn't fit in Wales - lovely tho ;0

[Itsallicanafford]

Nice car but I think I will stick with the MX-5

[daytona365]

Is 1069 lb ft of torque a lot then ?

[X5TUU]

really looks like a BMW from the back ... surely that cant be a good thing for Merc/Brabus?!

Not a fan of the gold highlights either but still wouldnt say no to one lol

[Civpilot]

Drop the gold highlights and yeah, perfectly utterly mentally bonkers.

Obviously gutted that the torque is electronically limited to 'only' 848lb ft but think I could still live with it.

[dukeboy749r]

That bling is surely more Arabian than German?

That is some 'taste' they've got going on...

But as ever, a bonkers car to boot.

[Pesty]

Love it. I'd even keep the gold.

[Maldini35]

Absurd, irrelevant, magnificent.

inexplicably I too like the gold rims

They make it look easy.

[ManFromDelmonte]

Needs more cowbell.

[Nickbrapp]

HoW about a e class with the same power. Which they also do.

[nagsheadwarrior]

Hmm, modern cars aren't my bag, was really hoping this was about an old Volvo.

[Gilhooligan]

That is fantastically ridiculous. I'll have mine in dark blue with slightly smaller wheels in silver.

[ikarl]

Absolutely have to applaud this lunacy, and yeah, if I won the big one on the lottery, I'd def consider one of these
