Renowned German tuner Brabus is at the 2011 Dubai Motor Show to unveil its own rendition of Mercedes CL 600, re-named 800 Coupe. The standard model is powered by a 5.5-litres V12 producing 517 hp and 830 Nm of peak torque, with a 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) sprint time of 4,6 seconds and 250km/h (155 mph) top speed, but the good people at Brabus just weren’t happy enough with that.

First off they upsized the engine displacement - going from 5.5 to 6.3 litres - and then replaced exhaust, braking and twin-turbo systems with more performing parts created by Brabus itself. These modifications are enough to provide the car with an output of 800 hp and an impressive 1,420 Nm of torque, although the latter gets electronically limited to 1,100 Nm. Quite obviously, performance figures for this model are astonishing: o-100 km/h in 3,9 seconds, 0-200 km/h (0-120 mph) in 10,3 seconds and 350 km/h top speed (217 mph).

This enormous power gets to the rear wheels through a reinforced 5-speed automatic gearbox, while aerodynamics have been improved with new front and rear spoilers. The 800 Coupe can come with 18″ to 22″ Brabus Monoblock alloy wheels and is equipped with a lowering module for the ABC suspension which lowers the car’s ride height by 25mm at the touch of a button. The interior has been upgraded to complement the diamond-white metallic paintjob and uses a lot of white leather and black Alcantara as well as some carbon-fiber inserts.
