As symbols of motoring excess go, few can come close to the Mercedes S63 AMG Cabriolet. It is a drop leading, sure, but 1 engineered to keep you cocooned in a world totally free of buffeting, so you can enjoy the components with out ever becoming disturbed by them. And there is a lot of energy, sufficient to rocket you to one hundred km/h in less than 4 seconds.
Motorcycles News: Mercedes S63 AMG into world's fastest four-seat cabriolet
Brabus badges are scattered everywhere within the cabin Unique Brabus shift paddles control the gearbox The Brabus kickplates under the S-Class doors are an additional unique touch Among the ways Brabus is trying to maintain the S-Class Cabrio on the groundOccasionally, factory-spec energy and engineering is not enough, although. Brabus is usually prepared to step into that void, in this case delivering the world's quickest four-seat convertible: the 850 6.0 Biturbo Cabrio.
The modifications start below the hood, exactly where engineers in Bottrop have boosted the S63's twin-turbo V8 from 5,461 cc to five,912 cc having a forged crankshaft and longer stroke, an increased cylinder bore and forged pistons to match. The motor's cylinder heads have been re-machined to handle the additional grunt, as well.
Operating in tandem using the extra displacement is a throughly reworked turbo system, utilizing two new turbochargers with bigger compressors and modified exhaust manifolds. They are complemented by 75 mm (two.95 in) down pipes along with a stainless-steel exhaust system, with butterfly valves to keep the car quiet in coming house mode, but still give it a throaty roar in complete flight.To make sure there's a lot of fresh air obtaining in to the engine, there is a carbon fiber intake module and two new air filters, fed by a broad air intake integrated into the bonnet. You'll also notice there's gold heat shielding over the intake and charge-air pipes on the turbocharger, a touch that calls the legendary McLaren F1's engine bay to mind.
The net result of those sweeping changes is speed, and lots of it. Getting dispatched the one hundred km/h (62 mph) sprint in three.5 seconds, the all-wheel drive Brabus will smash through 200 km/h (124 mph) in just 9.4 seconds. Leading speed is 350 km/h (217 mph), although that figure isn't necessarily the car's ultimate maximum - it's limited to preserve the tires.
At that kind of speed, you'll need some severe downforce to stop your luxury convertible becoming a 625 kW (850 hp) luxury airplane. Even though small, Brabus says its carbon fiber chin extension and bootlid spoiler help keep you on the ground, as does the rear diffuser.
On the outside, it is business as usual for Brabus, which indicates plenty of black paint and big wheels. Within this case, the wheels are 21-inch forged alloys, 228 mm (9 inches) wide in the front and 267 mm (ten.five inches) wide in the rear. They're wrapped within the 255/35 front tires and 295/30 rear tires tasked with transmitting 1,150 Nm (848 lb.ft) to the road. The whole package sits 15 mm (0.59 in) lower than before, which might have a negative influence on the standard car's wafty ride high quality, but does add to its tougher look.Inside, there is a lot of aluminum and carbon fiber trim, whilst the speedo has been revised to run all of the method to 400 km/h (248 mph). Thus far, there is no word on pricing, or on what taking the S63 Cabriolet to its 350 km/h v-max would do to your haircut.
