2013 Geneva Auto Show: Brabus 800 Roadster
Brabus is that other Mercedes Benz tuning specialist whose cars border on the clinically insane. Take for example this new 800 roadster. It's based on the new SL65AMG and yes it makes 800, well 811PS to be precise. But what really blows us away is the torque figure â" the twin turbo 6.0-lire V12 makes a mind numbing 1420Nm of torque, which is more than almost every production hyper car today, Veyron, LaFerrari, P1 included! That's so much torque that Brabus had to limit it to just 1,100Nm to prevent the engine from turning the 7-speed auto box into mush. The car supposedly shoots to 100kmph in 3.7 seconds and top speed has been limited to 350kmph. The car is full of tweaks like new 20-inch wheels an aggressive body kit and a nice free flowing exhaust to hear all the fury from that mental motor.
