A new masterpiece by the most prestigious Mercedes tuner, the Brabus SV12-R based on the new facelifted S600 is a meeting point for some amazing numbers! 750 hp, 1350 nm of torque and top speed of 340 km/h. And it’s not a supercar we are speaking of, it is an ultra lux saloon which weighs over two tons and is better equipped than an Airbus A380 business cabin!
Brabus engineers have increased the capacity of engine from 5.5 to 6.3 and further equip the engine with larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooling system and a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with four tailpipes and metal catalysts with low back pressure. Newly programmed engine electronics ensure that all new components work together flawlessly. They also contribute to maximum power yield and to meeting current exhaust emission limits.
As you know Mansory has bought the Porsche tuning arm of the Swiss company Rinspeed some months ago. Since then, the combination of Mansory’s elegance and Rinspeed’s lunacy has created some amazing machines! This is the new Chopster based on Porsche Cayenne, and it features a full carbon fiber re-styled body, has been dropped by 45 mm and is powered by a modified V8 developing 710 hp with top speed of 302 kph! Oh My!
Mansory relies on most modern manufacturing methods and solely uses the ultra-light and high-strength material carbon for its extensive auto body modifications. Whether front- or rear apron, doors, bonnet or the wings which broaden the cars by 80 millimeters – all components are formed out of carbon and hardened under strong pressure and high temperatures in the autoclave. The advantages of the high-tech method are evident: reducing the car weight does not only improve the acceleration values, but also reduces the braking distance and the fuel consumption of the Chopster.
