Brabus SV12 S Biturbo Roadster

The Mercedes SL-Class is set to continue its long success story after the latest product update. The Brabus engineers and designers have left no stone unturned to make the roadster even sportier and more exclusive. Equipped with the Brabus SV12 S Biturbo twelve-cylinder twin-turbo engine that delivers 730 bhp, the SL 600 turns into the world's most powerful roadster. 0 - 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and 124 mph after just 10.9 seconds speak to its prowess as does its top speed electronically limited to 217 mph.
More power by increasing displacement is one of the core philosophies behind the Brabus SV12 S Biturbo engine. The displacement of the twelve-cylinder three-valve engine is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters with the help of a billet steel crankshaft, larger cylinder bore, special pistons and piston rods. The conversion also includes re-machining the cylinder heads and fitting them with special camshafts.
The peripherals of the twin-turbo engine also play a large role in the engine's power yield. The Brabus engineers have also developed a completely new turbocharging system with two larger turbochargers and more efficient intercoolers. Metal catalysts with low back pressure let the Brabus SV12 S Biturbo displacement engine breathe more freely.
The Brabus SV12 S Biturbo Engine
Rated power output jumps from standard 517 bhp at 5,000 rpm to 730 bhp at just 5,100 rpm. Simultaneously peak torque grows from 613 lb-ft to 974 lb-ft, available from 2,100 rpm. Custom engine mapping ensures that peak torque in the car is limited electronically to 812 lb-ft.
Performance of the powerful two-seater speaks volumes: With a sprint time of 3.8 seconds from rest to 60 mph, 10.5 seconds to 124 mph, 29.5 seconds to 186 mph and an electronically limited top speed of 217 mph, the Brabus SV S 12 Biturbo roadster is one of the fastest sports cars in the world.
Form and Function at the Highest Level of Perfection
The Brabus aerodynamic-enhancement parts are available for all current SL models and give the SL a sporty yet elegant appearance while at the same time providing aerodynamic benefits. At high speeds they reduce lift on the front axle and thus further improve directional stability.
For the latest SL generation the Brabus designers have developed a strikingly styled front fascia whose sophisticated shape reduces lift on the front axle. The large central air inlet further optimizes cooling of engine and front brakes. The high-quality Pur-R-Rim Brabus front fascia with its four auxiliary headlights is designed to be fastened to the original mounting points and thus simply replaces the production bumper.
The Brabus rocker panels smooth the airstream between the wheel arches and come with a useful extra feature: Pushing a button on the keyless-entry remote or pulling on an inside door handle activates four LED entrance lights on either side of the car. They illuminate the ground next to the vehicle and help to avoid unfortunate missteps in the dark.
The Brabus designer suit for the new SL is rounded out by the Brabus rear fascia with integrated diffuser. It too was designed to replace the original part and fits precisely in its place.
Just as important for a customized look are one-piece or multi-piece Brabus Monoblock light-alloy wheels that can be mounted on the two-seater in various designs and diameters ranging from 17 to 20 inches. The largest possible version for the R 230 series SL features multi-piece Brabus Monoblock VI, S or E wheels in size 9Jx20 in front with size 255/30 ZR20 tires. On the rear axle the wheels measure 10.5Jx20 with Pirelli or Yokohama tires in size 305/25 ZR20.
For further improving the incredible handling of the latest SL roadster Brabus has developed an electronic module for the ABC suspension that lowers the ride height by about half an inch.

BRABUS SV 12 Biturbo Roadster

640 hp / 471 kW, 1,026 Nm and 310 km/h:
The New Open Super Sports Car Based on the Mercedes SL 600
640 hp / 471 kW, a peak torque of 1,026 Nm and an electronically limited top speed of 310 km/h:
BRABUS presents the BRABUS SV 12 bi-turbo roadster, a powerful and
exclusive super sports car based on the new Mercedes SL 600.
The heart of this car is the new BRABUS SV 12 increased-displacement engine, created on the
basis of the current twelve-cylinder bi-turbo engine. This engine is also available for the CL 600
coupe and S 600 sedan.
Nothing beats replacement except more displacement and that is just as valid for the new
Mercedes SL 600. Reason enough for the BRABUS engineers to develop the BRABUS SV 12
Biturbo increased-displacement engine. Installation of a custom-designed crankshaft milled from
one piece, larger diameter pistons and precision-balanced piston rods increase displacement from
standard 5.5 to 6.3 liters.
The turbocharged V12 is also fitted with a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with
less flow resistance and metal catalysts. Custom-programmed engine electronics ensure the
flawless interaction of all components.
Performance of the BRABUS SV 12 bi-turbo roadster is highly impressive: The BRABUS engine
sets new performance standards with 640 hp / 471 kW and a peak torque of 1,026 Nm from 1,750
rpm. Power is transferred via a reinforced five-speed automatic transmission that is operated with
ARAL high-performance lubricants, as are all BRABUS engines.
Performance of the two-seater is equally impressive: 4.3 seconds from rest to 100 km/h, 13.0
seconds to 200 km/h and an electronically limited top speed of 310 km/h make the BRABUS SV 12
bi-turbo roadster one of the fastest sports cars in the world.
Form and function at the highest level of perfection: The BRABUS aerodynamic-enhancement
parts, which are available for all current SL models, create a sporty yet elegant appearance and
offer aerodynamic advantages as well. At high speeds they help reduce lift on the front axle thus
further improving directional stability.
The high-quality Pur-R-Rim BRABUS front apron with four auxiliary headlights is designed to be
bolted to the original mounting points, making an exchange for the production bumper fast and
easy.
The BRABUS side sills create an especially aerodynamically efficient transition between the wheel
houses and further offer an additional useful and exciting feature: Pushing a button on the keyless-
entry remote or pulling on the inside door handle activates four LED lights on each side which
illuminate the ground on either side of the vehicle, and help prevent an unfortunate step into a hole
or puddle hidden in the dark.
The BRABUS designer suit for the new SL is rounded out by the BRABUS rear apron with
integrated diffuser. With its perfect fit this aerodynamic-enhancement part is also designed to
simply replace the production apron.
Just as important for a customized appearance are one-piece and multi-piece BRABUS Monoblock
light-alloy wheels, which can be mounted on the new roadster in three different designs with 18-,
19- and 20-inch diameters. Largest possible wheels on the SL of the R 230 series are multi-piece
BRABUS Monoblock VI wheels in sizes 9Jx20 in front with 255/35 ZR 20 tires, and 10.5Jx20 with
305/25 ZR 20 tires on the rear axle.
To further increase the already impressive handling characteristics of the current SL roadster
BRABUS developed an electronic module for the ABC suspension, which lowers the ride height by
about 15 millimeters.
The BRABUS high-performance brake system easily handles even the most extreme braking
stress. It features 375 x 36-mm vented and cross-drilled mega-sized discs with 12-piston fixed
calipers in front, and vented and cross-drilled 355 x 28-mm discs with six-piston fixed calipers on
the rear axle.
Unadulterated luxury and individuality in the interior are yet another BRABUS specialty. The list of
available exclusive interior options includes sill plates made from genuine carbon with illuminated
BRABUS logo, ergonomically shaped safety steering wheels with airbag, steering-wheel shifter
and heated rim, a speedometer with 360-km/h scale, and an interior trim kit made from genuine
carbon.
To upgrade the COMAND system BRABUS offers the integration of a DVD changer, a digital DVB-
T television tuner for areas served exclusively by digital TV signals, and the BRABUS Internet
system. The latter is operated with the standard buttons of the COMAND system - no additional
equipment is necessary. This innovative new development uses its own Internet platform and the
GPRS standard to connect to numerous content providers such as traffic or news services,
weather forecasts, hotel reservations, and many other useful online services.
To top it all off the company-own upholstery shop creates especially exclusive BRABUS interiors
from a combination of especially soft yet durable BRABUS Mastik and Alcantara leathers.

Carlsson CM50 K – a symbiosis of technique and design
(Based on the SL 500)


• CM50 K based on the SL 500 with 430 bhp and 650 Nm
• Exclusive Carlsson 1/16 Ultra Light forged wheels
• Complete range of aerodynamic parts
The SL Class first generated a wave of excitement among Mercedes-Benz fans in 1954 and, since then, has enjoyed continuous popularity. Carlsson, the Mercedes-Benz tuning company from Merzig in Southwest Germany has turned its attention to this living legend and, via a supercharged power boost, aerodynamic components and exclusive wheel designs, given the thoroughbred roadster the finishing touches for everyone looking for greater individuality.
Breath-taking power increase to 430 bhp
The supercharger system for the CM50 K has been developed in close cooperation with Ogura Clutch Co. Ltd. The compressor and the ultra-efficient intercooler are integrated into the engine unit in a technically and visually optimum position between the cylinder banks. The advantages of this high-performance supercharger, which is built under licence from Wankel, include high efficiency (up to over 70 percent), low-wear, quiet running, great durability, immediate response and low weight.
Thanks to the Carlsson CM50 K supercharger, the engine output of the SL 500 jumps to a breath-taking 430 bhp / 316 kW coupled with maximum torque of 650 Nm at 4000 rpm. Top speed is 295 km/h while, for the standing start to 100 km/h, the roadster needs just 5.1 seconds.
Carlsson aerodynamic kit
To round off its handling characteristics, Carlsson has developed an aerodynamic package for the CM50 K. The individual components – Carlsson front spoiler lip, grill inlet and rear skirt inlet – cut lift and give the CM50 K outstanding driving qualities. Naturally, the aerodynamic parts blend in harmoniously with the appearance of the CM50 K. With just a few but effective modifications, Carlsson has succeeded in giving the SL its own personal note.
A sporting sound is achieved by the Carlsson rear-silencer system, which is made of stainless steel and has four aerodynamically-optimised oval tailpipes embossed with the Carlsson logo. Moreover, an elaborate absorption system cuts exhaust backpressure and improves the acceleration characteristics of the Carlsson CM50 K.
Electronic suspension lowering C-Tronic® SUSPENSION
Greater ride comfort in all situations
By means of the electronic lowering system C-Tronic® SUSPENSION, the centre of gravity of the vehicle is lowered by up to 30 mm. This results in a sporty look and better handling of the vehicle because of the limitation of roll. A further advantage of the improved aerodynamics, which are achieved by the lowering of the suspension, is the reduction in the front profile of the vehicle. This results in a higher top speed and better fuel consumption. Whilst usual lowering systems for vehicles with electronic suspension confine themselves to lowering the centre of gravity of the vehicle, the innovative technology of the C-Tronic® SUSPENSION allows for automatic intelligent interaction with road conditions. On poor road surfaces and in response to the persistent spring deflection, which they cause, the lowering effect is automatically attenuated in order to ensure the appropriate spring travel required for the most comfortable ride.
For lovers of detail: interior appointments by Carlsson
Exclusive but restrained interior details create the special Carlsson atmosphere. Particularly pleasing is the Carlsson sports steering wheel, which is covered in a combination of leather and Alcantara and ensures a perfect grip in all situations. The Carlsson pedal set and the door-locking knobs are made of aluminium. On request, account can be taken of individual wishes when deciding on the scope and colour of the leather upholstery.
Ultra light forged wheels - Exclusive wheels by Carlsson
Wheels are the easiest and most expressive way of giving a car that personal touch. And the choice of wheel is easy if a high technological standard is to be combined with sporting elegance: Carlsson wheels from the 1/16 Ultra Light series with the dimensions 9.5x20“ with 255/30 ZR 20 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres for the front axle and 11x20’’ with 305/25 ZR20 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres for the rear axle.
