Page 1 of 2 Next >>  Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo "iBusiness": this is the type designation of a luxury multimedia sedan that Brabus presents at the 2013 IAA in a word premiere. The exclusively appointed luxury sedan based on the new Mercedes S-Class is powered by a V8 Biturbo high-capacity engine that produces 625 kW / 850 hp (838 bhp) and reaches a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).The "iBusiness " infotainment system is based on state-of-the-art components from Apple such as iPad, Mac mini, iPod touch and Apple TV, which are controlled and coordinated via the newly developed Brabus Remote app. In addition, the "iBusiness " system was designed to allow control of all functions of the COMAND system of the S-Class from the rear seats using an iPad mini. The exclusive appointments of the Brabus 850 "iBusiness " also include a sporty-elegant designer outfit for the body, forged Brabus "PLATINUM EDITION " 21-inch wheels, a high-performance braking system with carbon-ceramic discs and an exquisite, two-tone all-leather interior. With the presentation of the "iBusiness" at the IAA in Frankfurt the new Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo high-capacity engine also celebrates its world debut. In best Brabus tradition it follows the old but still true wisdom that nothing can substitute for displacement other than more displacement. The new engine is based on the latest Mercedes 63 AMG eight-cylinder four-valve engine. For the increase in displacement to 5,912 cc (361 cu. in.) the Brabus motor engineers brought their entire know-how amassed in the more than 35 years of the company's history to bear. Numerous engine components had to be newly developed and the engine block, cylinders and cylinder heads had to be extensively re-machined in the company engine-building shop. Increasing the eight cylinder bores to 99 millimeters (3.89 in.) allows the use of special forged pistons with modified surface contours to achieve an even more efficient combustion. They are connected by billet piston rods to the precision-balanced billet crankshaft with a stroke of 96 mm (3.77 in.). The two special Brabus turbochargers with larger compressor unit and modified exhaust manifolds are of course also a major factor in the enormous increase in power by 195 kW / 265 hp (261 bhp) over the stock engine. Other performance-enhancing upgrades on the exhaust side are the metal catalysts with 75-millimeter-thick (2.95 in.) downpipes and the Brabus stainless-steel sport exhaust whose pipe connectors have a diameter of 76 millimeters (3 in.). The Brabus installations on the intake side are immediately apparent upon opening the hood: in addition to the fiery-red Brabus design accents on the engine, the Brabus Gold Heat Reflection sheathing for the intake and charge-air tubes right away catches the eye. This measure also contributes to the high-performance experience provided by this engine, as does the newly designed Brabus 850 intake manifold for the eight-cylinder four-valve engine. It includes a larger air filter box with enlarged intake cross section, which gets its air supply via a special air duct in the hood. Also part of the package is the carbon-fiber intake pipe with larger diameter, which was positioned behind the new Brabus fascia directly exposed to the relative wind. Special mapping for the engine management system programmed on the Brabus high-tech engine test rigs and during road tests coordinate all high-performance components perfectly. This benefits not only the gigantic power yield, but also the outstanding throttle response and refinement of the engine across the entire rev range. The performance data of the Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo high-capacity engine are correspondingly impressive: the V8 produces its peak power of 625 kW / 850 hp (838 bhp) at a low 5,400 rpm U/min. The equally potent peak torque of 1,450 Nm (1,069 lb-ft) is limited in the car to 1,150 Nm (848 lb-ft) to protect the powertrain as a whole. It is available steadily on a plateau between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm. Brabus exclusively uses high-performance lubricants from technology partner MOTUL. A Brabus limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40 percent is available as an option. In conjunction with the modified AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission the Brabus 850 "iBusiness" delivers a performance only attained by a very few full-blooded and significantly lighter sports cars. Sprinting from 0 - 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds is just as unrivalled in this class of vehicles as is the electronically limited top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph). The transmission either sorts the gears automatically or allows drivers to shift manually using the Brabus aluminum shift paddles on the steering wheel. This unique driving sensation is accompanied by an exhaust note that can be either subtle or thrilling. The Brabus sport exhaust system with controlled butterfly valve offers drivers the option to actively control the exhaust note at the push of a button on the steering wheel. It determines whether the luxury sedan operates in a subtle and quiet "Coming Home" mode or announces its V8 power full-throated to the world in the "Sport" position to the enjoyment of the driver.
