2007: Brabus SV12 S Biturbo based on the CL 600

730 hp / 537 kW of power, 1,320 Nm of top and a top speed of 340 km/h: With the BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo coupe based on the latest Mercedes CL 600 model BRABUS presents the world’s fastest and most powerful coupe.

At the heart of this exclusive automobile is the BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo engine. It is based on the turbocharged Mercedes 600 twelve-cylinder engine and represents the most powerful street-legal V12 engine in the world. Installing a special BRABUS crankshaft with longer stroke, combined with a bigger bore and correspondingly sized forged pistons, increases displacement from 5.5 to 6.3 liters. Further engine modifications also include precision-machining the cylinder heads and fitting them with four special camshafts.

wow this car is amazing. it looks like the quality of a bentley gt coupe but obviously not as ultra luxury as that range. this car is one of the best looking to come out from mercedes since the cls in my opinion.

lexus should make a coupe like this one instead of concentrating so much on the lf-a eventhough it's very nice looking from what i see on the spy pictures. lexus would look good with a big luxury coupe like this one. maybe the next sc430 is going to be as good as this brabus cl but of course comparing to the regular cl 550.

It's amazing how the first post already brings up Lexus, bound to create arguemnts or bad comments like the following:

Lexus even if they could make a coupe like this, wouldn't beable to find the perfect balance MB do between luxury and performance. Not only that, they wouldn't be capable of styling such beauty. And next sc430 anything like this you have got to be kidding, live in your Lexus dream world.

my post is not meant to create arguments but we all know it will. lexus can make great cars as shown with the latest models. but i think lexus isnt the greatest at making 2 doors or winning convertibles. but they have what it takes.

Bentley already styled a better luxury coupe than the CL. It's called the Continental GT Coupe. I know this comment will end up at -100, but I can't help but think of Oldsmobile everytime I see a new CL. AMG packages are a must on all new Benzes. The bigger wheels and sportier front and rear air dams complete the new design language from Mercedes moreso than the standard models.

I disagree on the oldsmobile but I think your comment about the Continental GT being the better styled luxury coupe is purely subjective. I think they both are unique in there own ways. The price difference of the GT and the CL the Bentley should be styled better.

What I do agree is that the AMG packages make the cars look even better with the latest Benzes. The CLS and S550 look great with AMG packaging. The standard models look a bit too boring after awhile.
