Brabus 800E V12 Cabriolet sizzles

….the Brabus tuned version of Benz's E-Class cabriolet delivers a staggering 588kW of power. It's powered by a Brabus 800 V12 bi-turbo 12 cylinder high-capacity engine and is able to reach a top speed of up to 370 km/h, with a 400km/h speedo.

Built to special order, this beauty could be yours for around $622,000.

The 5.5-litre donor bi-turbo V8 is bored out from 5.5 to 6.3 litres and develops 588kW of power at 5500 revs and peak torque of 1420Nm, limited electronically to 1100Nm.

To get this power to the ground it's fitted with a Brabus high-performance limited-slip diff with a locking rate of 40 percent, allowing the car to sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.

To provide improved directional stability at extremely high speeds and to further increase cornering speeds, the body has also been widened, with a wider track and larger wheels and tyres fitted, 265 front and 295 rear 19 inch rubber.

The suspension was developed together with Bilstein and features 10 selectable settings for bound and rebound front and back.

The ride height can be adjusted by up to 35mm to suit personal preferences.

To pull up this monster enormous 380x37mm, vented and grooved steel brake discs and 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers are fitted to the front.

The rear stops on 360 x 28mm discs with 6-piston aluminum fixed calipers.

Naturally the Brabus E V12 Cabriolet also features an especially exclusive interior.
