Twin turboed Brabus E-class...
Holy shat...
============
Even More Power for the World's Fastest Sedan Brabus E V12 S Biturbo with 730 hp (537 kW).
With a top speed of 217 mph (350.2 kph) in Nardo the Brabus E V12 Biturbo is the world's fastest street-legal sedan. Now Brabus offers the Brabus E V12 S Biturbo, the next evolutionary stage with 730 hp (537 kW).
This new Brabus high-performance automobile is built in small-series production based on the current generation of the Mercedes E-Class W 21series. The Brabus E V12 S Biturbo is features the most powerful Brabus engine ever. Performance increase through displacements increase is the concept behind the S V12 S Biturbo specification as well. By installing a specially designed millet-steel crankshaft, increasing cylinder bore and inserting larger-diameter pistons including precision-balanced piston rods displacement is enlarged to 6.3 liters.
The turbocharged V12 further is equipped with two larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooling system, and a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with metal catalysts and low back pressure. Custom programmed engine electronics ensure the optimal interaction of all components.
The impressive figures for the Brabus E V12 S Biturbo reflect the tuning measures: With 730 hp (537 kW) and a peak torque of an incredible 973 ft lbs (1,320) Nm from 2,100 rpm the Brabus engine sets new performance standards. In the car peak torque is limited electronically to 811 ft lbs (1,100 Nm) using custom mapping.
Power is transferred by a reinforced five-speed automatic transmission and a special Brabus locking differential. The entire drivetrain is operated with ARAL high-performance lubricants.
The added power translates into even more superior performance for the Brabus E V12 S Biturbo: With a sprint time of 4.0 seconds from rest to 62 mph (100 kph), 10.5 seconds to 124 mph (200 km/h) and 29.5 seconds to the 186 mph (300 kph) barrier the evolutionary model exceeds the world record car.
Top speed is limited electronically to 217 mph (350 km/h).
The sedan runs on the new Brabus Monoblock S light-alloy wheels in sizes 8.5Jx19 on the front and 9.5Jx19 on the rear axle. The high-performance tires come from Brabus technology partner Pirelli and are mounted in size 255/35 ZR 19 on the front axle and in size 285/30 ZR 19 in the rear.
The suspension of the Brabus E V12 S Biturbo is sporty yet comfortable with a ride height lowered by some 30 millimeters compared to the production car. Brabus sport sway bars support the sporty handling with its high safety reserves and excellent ride comfort
Brabus also equips the new E V12 S Biturbo with a special high-performance brake system. The system is calibrated to the electro-hydraulic SBC brake of the E-Class and consists of 15 inch (375 mm) ceramic discs and 12-poiston aluminum calipers on the front axle and 6-piston calipers and 14 inch (355 mm) vented and perforated steel discs in the rear
At the extremely high speeds so effortlessly attained by the new Brabus E V12 S Biturbo favorable aerodynamic properties are of utmost importance which is why Brabus conducted extensive wind-tunnel testing: The Brabus front bumper with integrated spoiler and additional carbon lip not only looks great. It also reduces lift on the front axle thus improving directional stability at high speeds. Its aerodynamic counterpart in the rear is the custom-developed Brabus spoiler lip for the trunk lid, which reduces lift on the rear axle at high
speeds.
The Brabus side sills give the exclusive sedan a longer appearance and offer an additional interesting feature: Pushing a button on the keyless-entry remote of the vehicle or pulling on a door handle activates entrance lights integrated into the underside of the sills. They illuminate the ground next to the vehicle and make entering and exiting the vehicle safer. The strikingly
styled Brabus rear apron rounds out the sporty yet elegant exterior design of the E V12 S Biturbo perfectly.
The interior of the Brabus E V12 S Biturbo offers a highly special ambiance: The four-door is equipped with an exclusive Brabus fully leather interior made from a combination of especially soft yet durable Brabus Mastik leather and Alcantara. Genuine carbon inlays on dashboard, center console and door panels create a sporty atmosphere. The sedan can be further equipped with a state-of-the-art Brabus multimedia package with DVD player and LCD monitors integrated into the front headrests.
The small-series Brabus E V12 S Biturbo starts at $371 000 USD (317,000 Euros) MSRP.

That thing is sick.... $370K is a little steep but I'm not that surprised. Everything is practically Brabus and Brabus is amazing quality. Back in college I did a nice sized report on the company for a global marketing class. The company was very helpful in answering any of my questions... and I learned a lot.

With the Brabus stuff on the car, it def doesn't look like just $70K...
Perhaps the Ferarri would be better for the cost - but you can drive this car everyday if you want, get groceries in it, pick up the kids/friends/etc. Plus I'm sure this is going to be pretty rare, esp in the states. Just something diff....

I agree to a point but if I am shoveling over 350+ thousand dollars I would want some real visual punch to go with it.
Probably just my vanity, i want people to love me and respect me for spending lots of money on cars :

^^ ^^ Exactly. Sleepers are the best. Nothing better than a sedan that is faster/just as fast as ferraris and lambos.
95gt how can u even say $50K? wtf. ! lol... IMO I wouldnt give a shit if a moron didn't appreciate my Brabusfied E class.
I seriously would rather have that car vs a Lambo or whatever b/c its so much more rare.

The look on the face of the C6 Z06 owner when I blow by him would be worth the price of admission.

Well not sure I would go that far. I think this car is really cool but I would take a lambo over it in a heartbeat. Something just a little cooler about one of those rare exotics that looks like nothing else on the road.
I was comparing it to a 50k car because at first glance probably about 90% of the public would not think an E350 and this car were not very different. And I know that about 99% would not imagine a 300k price difference in the two.
As said before, sweet car but overpriced.
