The Incredible 850hp Brabus Mercedes S63 AMG is One Fast Coupe!

With a 577 hp biturbo V8 under the hood, the 2015 Mercedes S63 AMG is by no means an underpowered car. From the factory the S63 can rocket to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. Ever since our partners at Brabus have gotten ahold of it, this car has been making waves!

Simply put, Brabus has produced the fastest coupe ever!The Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo Coupe bolts to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and doesn't stop accelerating until the needle hits 350 km/h!

Brabus has boosted the displacement of the S63 from 5.5 liters to 6.0 liters with specially designed crankshaft, larger cylinder bore and enlarged forged pistons.



From there Brabus has replaced Mercedes' turbos with a pair of its own, adding its own intake module and heat shield, remapping the injection and ignition, and routing the exhaust through a stainless steel sport system with actively controlled butterfly valve.

From these modifications, Brabus has boosted the power output of the S63 by 260 hp, giving the Brabus 850 the 850 hp designation it wears in its name.

An aerodynamics kit helps the 850 make full use of its super-potent powertrain. The kit includes a carbon fiber front spoiler, carbon-trimmed front bumper intakes, a carbon fiber rear diffuser and a subtle carbon trunk lid spoiler.



Impressive? We think that's an understatement! We're very excited about the Brabus 850 and as a Brabus-certified dealer/installer, we're ready to turn your S63 AMG into one wicked coupe!
