Brabus goes ballistic

It takes longer to say the name of Brabus latest super-saloon than it does for the Brabus S V12 S Biturbo to go from 0-62mph.

Making all of this possible is a V12 engine increased to 6.3 litres and with a bigger pair of turbochargers slapped on for good measure.

The result is 730bhp and a 974lb ft wallop of torque that sees 0-125mph dispatched in 11.9 seconds.

In typical Brabus style, there are bigger brakes and wheels, and lowered suspension.

The S V12 S Biturbo makes its debut at the Geneva motor show, where Brabus will announce prices.
