2003 Brabus CL V12
Source: Brabus 570 hp, a maximum torque of 664 lb-ft, available from only 1900 rpm, just 4.6 seconds for the acceleration from 0 – 60 mph and an electronically limited top speed of 192 mph: Those are the cornerstones of the new Mercedes CL 600 with 12-cylinder bi-turbo engine and BRABUS T 12 engine tuning. BRABUS turns the top-of-the-line CL-Class into one of the world's fastest sedans. The BRABUS T 12 performance kit, which is also available for the new CL 600, was developed in an extensive process, which included tests on the stationary test bench as well as numerous test drives. Newly programmed engine electronics, an increased boost pressure and the installation of a BRABUS stainless-steel high-performance brake system with metal catalysts resulted in a pronounced performance increase. Instead of normally 500 hp the 5.5-liter engine with BRABUS T 12 engine tuning delivers 570 hp. Simultaneously maximum torque grows from 590 lb-ft to 664 lb-ft. This enormous torque is available from just 1900 rpm. Performance of the luxury sedan with BRABUS T12 tuning reflects this increase in power. The tuned CL-Class accelerates in just 4.6 seconds from 0 – 60 mph, top speed is electronically limited to 192 mph. To keep this enormous performance safely in check at all times the new S 600 too can be fitted with the BRABUS high-performance brake system. It features 375 x 36 mm perforated and vented disks as well as 12-piston fixed calipers in front, and six-piston fixed calipers and 355 x 28 mm disks on the rear axle, and was developed specifically for the large Mercedes models. To add more sporty accents to the elegant lines of the updated Mercedes CL-Class the BRABUS designers developed a new aerodynamic-enhancement kit. The BRABUS front spoiler bumper with four integrated auxiliary headlights not only lends the luxury sedan a more striking appearance, it also reduces lift on the front axle. Like the new front the BRABUS rear apron replaces the production bumper. BRABUS side sills with integrated entry lights are a custom BRABUS development. Pushing a button on the keyless- entry remote or pulling on the inside door handle activates five LED lights located in the underside of each side sill. These lights illuminate the ground next to the car to make entering and exiting the vehicle at night safer. Just as important for an individual look and for active safety are attractive BRABUS Monoblock light-alloy wheels, which are available in a number of different designs as one-piece and multi- piece rims. Largest possible wheel/tire combination is multi-piece BRABUS Monoblock VI double- spoke wheels in sizes 9.5Jx20 in front and 10Jx20 on the rear axle. Michelin and Pirelli supply the corresponding high-performance tires in sizes 245/35 ZR 20 and 275/30 ZR 20. Specifically matched to this tire/wheel combination is the BRABUS suspension module for the ABC suspension. It gives the CL 600 more sporty yet comfortable handling characteristics and lowers the body by about 20 millimeters. The BRABUS multimedia package represents the very latest in communication technology on wheels. The package is harmoniously integrated into the interior of the CL-Class and is controlled with an organizer. Luxurious and highly individualized interiors are yet another BRABUS specialty. The program ranges from sill plates with illuminated BRABUS logo to ergonomically shaped safety steering wheels with airbags to exclusive BRABUS interiors crafted from especially soft yet highly durable BRABUS Mastik leather or from the finest Alcantara.
