Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo estate unveiled

The Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo package, which is now available in estate form, is all about remarkable numbers.

Based on the Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG - itself no stranger to some impressive stats - Brabus engineers began their conversion by enlarging the displacement of the V8 engine from 5,461 cc to 5,912 cc. Next, bespoke pistons, an upgraded crankshaft, a carbon fibre air intake, bigger turbochargers, recalibrated management software and a special stainless steel exhaust system were all fitted.

The result is 838 bhp (625 kW / 850 PS), an increase of 50% compared to the regular E 63 AMG. Even more astonishing is the peak torque figure, which has been doubled to a massive 1,450 Nm (1,069 lb/ft).

Of course, performance is impressive. With all-wheel drive the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes just 3.1 seconds, a time that’s 0.7 seconds quicker than the standard car’s. Top speed is electronically restricted to 186 mph (300 km/h) to protect the tyres.

To match the powertrain improvements, Brabus also offers 19” or 20” alloy wheels, a subtle carbon fibre body kit and custom leather- and Alcantara-trimmed interiors.
