The fastest roadster in the world, that’s the car Brabus brought to Geneva. A Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG is tuned by the gentlemen from Bottrop, just like we expected. Optical, the changes for this SL 65 AMG aren’t that big, besides an enormous air intake on the hood. The changes on the engine are enormous and they make this car the fastest roadster in the world. 800 hp in the front and an enormous amount of torque, 1420 Nm, unfortunately the torque is limited to 1100 Nm, but this is still an enormous amount!
It has to be limited, because the gearbox simply can’t handle so much torque from this V12. A special developed Bi-turbo system upgrades the power to 800 hp, but this isn’t the only adjustment. The engine also has four new coolers and that explains the gigantic air intake on the hood. The exhaust system is equipped with valves to reduce the sound level if you want to and because of the new turbos, the engine management system is also changed to make the engine function as optimal as possible.
The car has the following specifications, the sprint from zero to 100 kph takes 3.7 seconds, 200 kph is reached in 9.8 seconds and the top speed is limited to 350 kph! To be able to reach these speeds, a special aerodynamic package consisting several carbon fiber components is developed in a wind tunnel.
