Geneva Motor Show 2009: Brabus G V12 S Biturbo is our kind of birthday cake
Nothing says "happy birthday" like 700 horsepower and nearly 1000 lb-ft of torque. That's what Brabus figures, at least, and we're with them. To mark the 30th anniversary of the indomitable Mercedes-Benz Gelndewagen, Brabus presented the G V12 S Biturbo here at the Geneva Motor Show, and it could hardly be missed in the middle of the Palexpo show floor. The tuned twin-turbo 6.3-liter V12 sits in a tricked out G-Wagen decked out in black with LED headlamps, custom bodywork, black leather everything, a 163-mph top end and a physics-defying 4.3-second spring to 60 mph. At nearly half a million on the sticker, you're not likely to see one parked at the local mini mall – unless you live in car-bonkers Abu Dhabi where a supposedly McLaren-powered G-Wagen was spotted last year .
The World's Most Powerful Off-Roader BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo with 700 hp (690 bhp) / 515 kW and 1,320 Nm (973 lb-ft) BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo: The world's most powerful off-roader comes from BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, D-46240 Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777-0, fax + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777 111, Internet www.brabus.com). It is built by hand based on the latest Mercedes G-Class. The exclusive five-door is powered by a BRABUS SV12 S displacement engine. Like all special models of BRABUS - recognized by the German Vehicle Registration Agency as a vehicle manufacturer - the BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo comes with a comprehensive luxury package. The ultra-powerful 4x4 starts at 379,000 Euros. The BRABUS SV12 S engine is based on the V12 Biturbo engine from the latest Mercedes S 600. Before being implanted in the engine bay of the G-Class, displacement of the three-valve engine is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 384 cubic inches) using a special crankshaft with longer stroke, larger cylinders and larger bore. In addition, the cylinder heads are re-machined and fitted with special camshafts. The engine peripherals were upgraded with larger turbochargers, an optimized intercooling system and a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts. The exahust was custom-developed for the G-Class and features dual chrome-plated tailpipes that exit in front of the rear wheels on the left and right side. New precision mapping for the engine electronics coordinate the perfect interaction of all new components. The results are an exemplary smooth-running engine and maximum power yield while meeting the strict limits set by the EURO IV emission norm. In the G-Class the BRABUS S V12 S displacement engine produces 700 hp (690 bhp) / 515 kW at 5,100 rpm. The turbocharged twelve-cylinder engine delivers its peak torque of 1,320 Nm (973 lb-ft) at 2,100 rpm. In the car, the peak torque is electronically limited to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft). The BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo offers acceleration performance almost unimaginable for a true off-roader: Combined with a special five-speed automatic transmission and permanent four-wheel drive the exclusive SUV catapults itself from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.3 seconds. Top speed is limited electronically to 240 km/h (150 mph). Without the self-imposed limit the high-tech G-Class model could reach 260 km/h (163 mph). This superior performance necessitates the use of custom-tailored BRABUS Monoblock wheels. Below the subtle fender flares is room for Monoblock light-alloy wheels with diameters between 20 and 22 inches, mounted with high-performance tires from Pirelli or YOKOHAMA. The forged BRABUS Monoblock VI 10.5Jx21 light-alloys are shod with size 295/40 R 21 tires front and back. BRABUS offers a wide selection of ten-inch wide wheels in the five different Monoblock VI, E, G, Q and S designs with a diameter of 22 inches. For optimal handling BRABUS equips the special model G V12 S Biturbo with a comfortable custom suspension. To keep the incredible performance safely in check at all times the BRABUS high-performance brake system comes standard. The body of the BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo is distinguished by sporty yet elegant aerodynamic-enhancement components. The BRABUS front apron with its LED daytime running lights below the main headlights lends the 4x4 an even more striking face. The rear is customized with the BRABUS rear bumper. The BRABUS designers have developed special caps for the standard running boards of the Mercedes G-Class. They add some visual pizzazz to the G-Class and for added practicality feature integrated LED lights activated by the key fob or by opening a door. They illuminate the running boards in the dark. The custom interior of the BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo is highly exclusive as well: It includes an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel, a speedometer with 280-km/h scale (175 mph), stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated BRABUS logo and a handcrafted BRABUS fully leather interior made from especially soft and breathable BRABUS Mastik leather. Upon customer request BRABUS transforms the SUV into fully functional all-terrain office on wheels or can integrate a custom-tailored high-tech multimedia system with state-of-the-art communication technology, DVD changer, DVBT TV tuner, game console and eight-inch LCD screens in the back of the front headrests. The sound in the rear compartment is reproduced by infrared headphones. ![]() More Mercedes-Benz Cars in www Car Com: + First Look: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG + New Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe Revealed Before Geneva Debut + Another hard-to-say Carlsson: Aigner CK55 RS Rascasse + First Test: 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 4Matic + Preview: 2011 Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabrio + Detroit Auto Show 2009 Preview:SLR Stirling Moss won't be offered in North America + First Look: Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss + Spy shots: 2010 Mercedes Benz R-Class facelift + Spy shots: First prototypes for next-gen Mercedes Benz CLS + 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class unveiled via web leak + Carlsson Present Noble RS-design Kit for Mercedes S-Class + ASMA Design turns evil eye towards Merc SL-Class + Hamann Volcano Based on Mercedes Mclaren SLR Officially Detailed + New diesels won't run when the urea tanks is dry + Mercedes-Benz GLK ready to storm 2008 SEMA Motor Show + VIDEO: Mercedes-Benz ConceptFASCINATION + Mercedes SLR McLaren 722 Edition Roadster First Spy Photos + Time to change your desktop: new SL65 AMG Black Series wallpaper + In The Autoblog Garage: 2008 Mercedes SLK55 AMG + First Look: 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series + Pics galore: clean diesel Mercedes BlueTec SUVs coming to America + Mercedes-Benz shows off 2009 G 55 AMG + Daimler Welcomes 500,000th Mercedes SLK + First Drive: 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class More about Geneva Motor Show 2009 in www Car Com: + Geneva Motor Show 2009: Bleu who?
