560 kW, 1,350 Nm Brabus S-Class

I think the heading just about sums it up. Frankfurt Motor Show will be on the receiving end of Brabus’ latest and craziest creation: the SV12 R Biturbo 750.

This leather-laden juggernaught is powered by a 6.3 litre V12,  stroked out from the 5.5 litre block. Oh, i forgot to mention, it’s also aided by two turbochargers. The four camshafts are optimised, along with the inlet and outlet valves for improved flow.

For the multiple tsunamis of torque available from a mere flitter of the right boot, the SV12 R scoots out to 100 km/h in four seconds flat. So, on the way to governing your multinational conglomerate in your new Brabus, old mate in the Rolls-Royce Ghost poses no threat at the lights; even that guy in the Bentley Continental GT shouldn’t be so smug. You’re faster. It may also be comfortable to know that you are limited to 340 km/h, especially if you are running late for that merger meeting.

Those 21-inch custom Monoblock light alloys house 12-pot calipers per front wheel, and 6 pots at the back. That is some serious stopping power.

I doubt any of these will make it to humble Australia, so you may have to do with a HSV Grange in the meantime (kidding). I have only seen a couple of Brabus cars in my lifetime in Australia, and I even don’t know if they are just wankers who put the padge on an E220 with some big rims.I am more than happy to eat my words, though. God, I hate wankers.
