One of the cars that will deffinitely make this year’s Dubai Motor Show edition very veruy special is the 2012 Mercedes CL 800 Coupe By Brabus, which will be the world’s fastest and most powerful luxury coupe. The Brabus 800 Coupe was based on the Mercedes CL600, and as we are about to see, the combination between the two companies has brought one of the most interesting result.
In order to improve performance, the standard Mercedes CL600 received a few aerodynamic changes which include a new front spoiler, an understated rear spoiler on the trunk lid, and a rear fascia insert. These upgrades have been rigurously tested in the wind tunnel in order to ensure that they will be succesful. After this, the car received a new set of wheels, size 18″ to 22″ depending on the customer’s wishes, and a lowering module to bring the two-door car by some 25 millimeters (about 1″).
A combination of white leather and black Alcantara with contrasting seams and diamond-pattern top-stitching make the interiour of the car, along with an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel, Brabus logo, aluminum pedals, foot rest, and shifter and seats combined with carbon-fiber elements.
And now for the icing on the cake, the outstanding upgrades that were brought to the Mercedes CL600 by Brabus. First, the displacement of the engine was increased from 5.5L to 6.3L, then added a high-end turbocharging system designed by the Brabus engine specialists. This system features two custom exhaust manifolds with integrated turbine housings and high-performance turbochargers, as well as four water-to-air intercoolers. A carbon-fiber ram-air intake was also integrated into the hood.
The result of all this is 800 HP at a low 5,500 rpm and 1,047 lb-ft of torque available from 2,100 rpm. However, the peak torque will be limited electronically to 811 lb-ft, but even having that limitation, the sprint from 0 to 60 mph is still made in 3.9 seconds and the 0 to 124 mph sprint in 10.3 seconds, while top speed is electronically limited to 217 mph.
Unfortunately, pricing isn’t yet availailable, but we will sure keep an eye on this one!
