The brand new Brabus E V12 sedan has been revealed as it is a pure upgrade kit for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class for 2010. Brabus has taken the standard 6.0-litre V12 engine from the E-Class and bored it out to 6.3-litres for a total of 800-horsepower and 1420Nm of biturbo power.

Although the details are limited Brabus did however include the news that they added a ram-air system, a quad exhaust pipe and a revised set of engine electronics.

The suspension has also been tuned for better power control and this means that the tuner added a new adjustable sport set up with new stabilizers. The wheels have been beefed up to 19-inches where the a set of performance brakes will slow these bad boys down.

Aerodynamic improvements are available as well, and they will benefit the engine ventilation and brake cooling. The front houses a new bumper, new front quarter panels, aggressive side sills while the rear has new wheel covers, a trunk mounted spoiler and a carbon fibre diffuser.

Acceleration figures are pretty entertaining as the Brabus E V12 gets from 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds, 0-200km/h in 9.9 seconds and 0-300km/h in 23.9 seconds. The top speed is limited to 350km/h while the fuel consumption rating is set at 15.7-litres per 100km.

The inside is covered with leather upholstery, Alcantara headliners and a mean looking carbon fibre trim.

Production is limited to 10 units where the price is set at 600,000 euros.
