2012 Brabus Mercedes-Benz CL 800 Coupe Specs and Review


The new BRABUS 800 Coupe is based on the latest Mercedes-Benz CL 600 BRABUS. The 12-cylinder engine of the CL 600 is reengineered thoroughly in the BRABUS engine-building shop that is equipped with state of the art machine tools. Displacement is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 384 cu. in.) with the help of a special BRABUS crankshaft with longer stroke, larger cylinder bore and correspondingly larger
forged pistons. Further performance-enhancing modifications to the engine itself are the fine-machining of the two cylinder heads for optimized mixture flow and the installation of four special camshafts.


As a result of the extensive modifications the BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo engine delivers unparalleled performance figures : the engine produces its maximum rated power output of 800 hp (788 bhp) 588 kW at a low 5,500 rpm. Even more colossal is the peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 ft-lb) available from 2,100 rpm. In the car peak torque is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 ft-lb).


From rest the exclusive two-door car sprints to 100 km h (62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds and reaches 200 km h (124 mph) after a mere 10.3 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 350 km h (217 mph).
Exciting design, top notch quality and further improved driving dynamics are the outstanding characteristics of the BRABUS Monoblock wheels, which are available for the Mercedes CL-Class with diameters ranging from 18 to 22 inches. To make safe use of the cars impressive performance requires BRABUS Monoblock 21-inch wheels, available as Monoblock VI, E or F designs.
