Brabus E V12 - The World’s Most Powerful Sedan

Brabus E V12

Brabus isn’t messing around when it comes to making ultra-powerful modified cars, mainly from Mercedes. Just a few days after we heard about the Brabus SV12, they give us the E V12 - an ultra-powerful version of the Mercedes E-Class. So powerful in fact, they’re calling it “The World’s Most Powerful High-Performance Sedan.” I don’t doubt that for a minute, considering the specs.

Here’s some more heavy German iron set to roll out at the upcoming Frankfurt show: The BRABUS SV12 R. Brabus calls it “The Fastest and Most Powerful Office on Wheels in the World” and with 750 hp, 995 lb-ft of torque on tap and a terminal velocity of 211 mph, I’m not going to start arguing with them.

Essentially the German tuning firm took a Mercedes-Benz S 600 and threw their catalogue at it … and their engineers, aerodynamicists and stylists for that matter and came up with what the well-healed German businessman should be using to get from Frankfurt to Cologne faster than their Gulfstream jet.
