BRABUS 800 Coupe World Debut at the Dubai International Motor Show
The BRABUS 800 Coupe is available as a complete vehicle or can be built based on any current
Mercedes CL 600 model
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
The new BRABUS 800 Coupe based on the latest Mercedes-Benz CL 600 BRABUS, with 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW, 1,420 Nm (1,047 ft-lb) and
a 350-km/h (217-mph) top speed, celebrates the world debut of the world’s fastest and most powerful luxury coupe at the 2011 Dubai
international motor show. In addition to its unique performance the coupe’s most impressive features are its exclusive sporty-elegant design
and its high-class interior.

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.

The engine peripherals are modified extensively as well: the standard twin-turbo system is replaced with a high-end turbocharging system
designed by the BRABUS engine specialists. The new system features two custom exhaust manifolds with integrated turbine housings and
high-performance turbochargers as well as four water-to-air intercoolers. The combustion air is supplied by a carbon-fiber ram-air intake
integrated into the hood. In addition there is a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts.

Precision-programmed mapping for injection and ignition coordinate the optimal interaction of the high-performance components in order
to achieve not only maximum power yield but also to meet strict current EURO V emission limits. The high-tech lubricants for the entire
powertrain are supplied by technology partner ARAL.

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).
Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission that has been reinforced to handle the enormous power,
and the BRABUS high-performance limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40 percent. Naturally the BRABUS 800 Coupe retains all
modern vehicle stability systems that can be deactivated at the push of a button.

This engine under the hood makes the BRABUS 800 Coupe the world’s most powerful and fastest four-seat luxury coupe.
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).
These extremely fast speeds place especially high demands on the aerodynamic-enhancement components that were developed in the wind tunnel.
The sophisticated shape of the BRABUS front spoiler that attaches to the production fascia reduces lift on the front axle for further improved
directional stability at high speed.

To achieve a precise aerodynamic balance BRABUS equips the CL with an understated rear spoiler on the trunk lid and a rear fascia insert.
The insert replaces its production counterpart in the bumper and features a central reflector as well as one custom-tailored cutout on
either side to provide the perfect backdrop for the four tailpipes of the BRABUS sport exhaust system.
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 car’s impressive
performance requires BRABUS Monoblock 21-inch wheels, available as Monoblock VI, E or F designs. BRABUS technology partners Continental,
Pirelli and YOKOHAMA supply tried and tested high-performance tires in size 265/30 ZR 21 in front and size 295/25 ZR 21 on the rear axle.

The BRABUS ride-height lowering module for the standard ABC suspension is specifically calibrated to these ultra-low-profile tires,
and lowers the body of the two-door car by some 25 millimeters (1 inch).
To keep the stunning performance safely in check at all times the BRABUS 800 Coupe comes equipped with version IV of the BRABUS
high-performance brake system. The front axle is fitted with six-piston aluminum fixed calipers and vented and cross-drilled discs
measuring 405 x 34 millimeters (16 x 1.3 in.). Together with discs measuring 380 x 34 millimeters (15.0 x 1.34 in.) and 4-piston fixed
aluminum calipers on the rear axle the system delivers outstanding stopping power and endurance.

The interior received a high-class upgrade to match the car’s diamond-white metallic paint finish. The BRABUS upholsterers masterfully crafted
an interior from a combination of white leather and black Alcantara, each with contrasting seams and diamond-pattern topstitching.
Carbon-fiber elements in the cockpit add a markedly sporty touch. Their matte surfaces in “checkered flag” design make them
textbook eye-catchers.
An ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel is also part of the extraordinary BRABUS interior refinement as are scuff plates with
backlit BRABUS logo, and aluminum pedals, foot rest and shifter.
