Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo Coupé launched

If the Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG or S 65 AMG Coupés simply aren't powerful enough, then Brabus now has a solution. Its latest creation, called the 850 6.0 Biturbo Coupé, takes an all-wheel drive S 63 AMG 4Matic and applies a comprehensive makeover.

At the heart of the conversion is a V8 biturbo engine. Brabus replaces the crankshaft, installs bigger forged pistons, modifies the turbochargers and enlarges the capacity from 5,461 cc to 5,912 cc. Furthermore, a stainless steel exhaust and a special air intake module are fitted. The end result is 838 bhp (625 kW / 850 PS) with a staggering 1,150 Nm (848 lb/ft) of torque.

That increased output is delivered to all four wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission. For anybody feeling particularly brave, a rear-wheel drive version will be available too.

The 850 6.0 Biturbo Coupé can sprint from rest to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.5 seconds before hitting an electronically-limited 217 mph (350 km/h) top speed. By comparison, a stock 576 bhp (430 kW / 585 PS) S 63 AMG 4Matic Coupé posts 3.9 seconds and 155 mph (250 km/h) for those same benchmarks.

Lowered suspension, Monoblock 21” alloy wheels, a lift-reducing front splitter, a boot lid spoiler and a rear diffuser are also part of the package. Inside, the usual upholstery is swapped for breathable Mastik leather, plus a black Alcantara headliner adds to the ambience.

Brabus is due to exhibit the 850 6.0 Biturbo Coupé at next month's Geneva Motor Show.
