13 Jul 2011|7,105 views
The Brabus 800E V12 Convertible is powered by a 6.3-litre V12 that produces 800bhp, and has a top speed of 370km/h, making it the world’s fastest four-seater convertible. The engine is taken from the Mercedes-Benz S600, but has been extensively modified by Brabus.The modifications include optimised cylinder heads, sports camshafts and a special crankshaft with longer stroke and larger pistons which along with the cylinders’ larger bore, increase the V12’s capacity from 5.5 to 6.3 litres. Additionally, there is also a new intake manifold, two exhaust manifolds with integrated turbochargers for better efficiency and four water-to-air intercoolers.
Brabus have also reprogrammed the ECU and reinforced the five-speed automatic gearbox in order to withstand the power and torque, which is restricted to 1,100Nm but can be pushed out to 1,420Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40%, and the Brabus 800E V12 Convertible is able hit 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds, 0-200km/h in 9.9 seconds, and 0-300km/h in 23.9 seconds, on to its top speed of 370km/h.
The 800E V12 Convertible’s suspension has also been recalibrated, with adjustable dampers, and the carbon fibre aerodynamic enhancements have been tested in a wind tunnel in order to reduce lift and provide stability for a car with the performance of the Brabus 800E.
