Brabus Dials V12 Maybach S-Class Up To 6.3 Liters And 838 HP

德国调优公司Brabus刚刚再保险leased a new model called the Brabus 850. It's based on the2023 Mercedes-Maybach S, meaning it is one of the few luxury cars that still offer a V12 engine under the hood. Thestandard Maybach S 680uses a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 producing 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque sending power out to all-wheel-drive via a nine-speed automatic transmission. Brabus bores the block out to 6.3 liters and adds larger turbos, two high-pressure fuel pumps, and an engine control unit.

Combined with a Brabus flap exhaust system and a Ram pressure-reducing metal catalytic converter system, the Brabus 850 delivers a whopping 850 metric horsepower (838 hp in the US measurement). Brabus says the car will hit 62 mph in 4.1 seconds and go on to a 155 mph top speed. It's a bit slower than thehybrid S63 E Performance, but that car doesn't come with a V12.

Torque increases to as much as 1,033 lb-ft, but to prevent the nine-speed from destroying itself or the AWD system from burning to a crisp, that figure is electronically limited to 811 lb-ft.

To match the increased performance, Brabus adds a carbon fiber front spoiler lip and air intake attachments. These pieces don't just look cool, they also reduce lift forces to improve high-speed stability. At the back, a carbon fiber rear diffuser surrounds two blacked-out exhaust pipes. Almost every surface of the car, including the grille and wheels, is finished in black, giving the car a menacing look. Only a tiny, red "850" badge adds a splash of color.

Speaking of those wheels, they are 22-inch Monoblock Z forged wheels with lightweight construction. The air suspension also sits up to 0.79 inches lower than stock for a better stance.
