Brabus 800HP Mercedes E-Klasse Cabriolet

The aftermarket specialist at Brabus have just released details and photos of what it is claimed to be the most powerful and fastest four-seater cabriolet, a car that is built to order and priced from EUR478,000. Dubbed Brabus E V12 Cabriolet, the project is based on the open-top version of the Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse.


The car comes fitted with the Brabus 800 V12 Biturbo twelve-cylinder high-capacity engine, which is coupled with a five-speed automatic transmission. A stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with four tailpipes was also created specifically for the E-Klasse Cabriolet.

Performance figures are impressive: the unit develops 800 horsepower and 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) of torque, limited electronically in the car to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft). This enables the car to sprint from naught to sixty in just 3.7 seconds. After 9.9 seconds it reaches a speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). The 300 km/h (186 mph) barrier comes after 23.9 seconds. Depending on the final-drive ratio the BRABUS 800 E V12 Cabriolet has a top speed of up to 370 km/h (231 mph).
