BRABUS® 800 E V12 Cabriolet: The World’s Most Powerful and Fastest Four-Seater Cabrio

[MBFanToDeath]

Bottrop, Jul 08, 2011

First the sedan, then the coupe and now the cabriolet: With the 800-hp (788-bhp) / 588-kW BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo twelve-cylinder high-capacity engine in the body of the open-top Mercedes E-Class BRABUS further expands the legendary E V12 family.

Like its brethren, the BRABUS E V12 Cabriolet is a high-performance automobile of superlatives: the special model reaches a top speed of up to 370 km/h (231 mph) and is the world’s most powerful and fastest four-seater cabriolet. It is built to order starting at EUR 478,000. In building this supercar the BRABUS engineers drew upon the know-how gained from building numerous E V12 sedans and coupes. Precision work was required to implant the BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo engine and a reinforced five-speed automatic transmission in the engine bay of the E-Class Cabriolet. The most powerful engine in the BRABUS lineup is based on the three-valve V12 engine of the current Mercedes S 600 model. The company’s engine-building shop reengineers this engine in all aspects. A special crankshaft with longer stroke and larger pistons in conjunction with increased cylinder bore bumps displacement from standard 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 384 cu. in.). Further modifications to the engine’s inner workings include cylinder heads optimized for mixture flow and sports camshafts.

I want to see a top-speed run in Nardo. With the roof down and four persons onboard. 340-350 km/h?

This reminds me of the CLK DTM Convertible from a while ago, if people have the money and are willing to spend, then why not.

Helluva ugly IMO, interior I could live with but the rest, tasteless.

 

[Tarek]

I'd take the coupe please and minus the rear wing.

You may like the design or not, but...

Does anybody in the world will spend nearly half a million Euro to sit in a (very fast) E-Class (in fact a C-Class) Cabrio?

Not really.
I would choose without any doubt the Continetal GTC Speed instead of this... thing.
Anyhow: Its impressive what can be done, but the car hasn´t proofed the driveability and the top speed in a real test.

 

[Tarek]

Now why would u take that fat abomination of a car?

 

[emdem]

+1 for the Continental GT Cabby at that price...

 

[888]

the price tag is not to mark expensive, well not for the buyer, it keeps away the "others" who think that half a mil is too much for the car like that
