Press Release

S 600 Biturbo - BRABUS S V12 Program But BRABUS doesn't just offer more driving fun in the form of more power. The exclusive sport concept for the S 600 also includes professional modifications to brakes, suspension and aerodynamics. To keep the enormous performance safely in check at all times the new S 600 can be equipped with the BRABUS high-performance brake system, which was developed specifically for the big Mercedes models. The system comprises 375 x 36 mm vented and perforated disks with 12-piston fixed calipers on the front axle, and six-piston fixed calipers on 355 x 28 mm disks in the rear. Absolutely essential for the safe attainment of this kind of performance are attractive BRABUS Monoblock VI light-alloy wheels. The multi-piece BRABUS Monoblock VI double-spoke wheels in sizes 9.5Jx20 in front and 10Jx20 on the rear axle are fitted with Michelin or Pirelli high-performance tires in sizes 245/35 ZR 20 and 275/30 ZR 20. Specifically matched to this tire/wheel combination is the BRABUS suspension module for the ABC suspension. With it the S 600's ride becomes somewhat sportier but still comfortable while the body is lowered by about 20 millimeters. To add sporty highlights to the elegant lines of the facelift generation of the Mercedes S-Class the BRABUS designers developed a new aerodynamic-enhancement kit. The BRABUS front bumper with integrated spoiler features four auxiliary headlights and gives the luxury sedan an even more striking appearance while at the same time reducing lift on the front axle. Like its counterpart in the front the BRABUS rear apron imply replaces the production bumper entirely. BRABUS side sills with integrated entry lights are a custom BRABUS development. Pushing a button on the keyless-entry remote or pulling on the inside door handles activates five LED lights on the underside of the sills. These lights illuminate the ground next to the vehicle, making entering and exiting the vehicle safe in the dark. Luxurious and highly individualized interiors are a BRABUS specialty. The range of exclusive accessories includes sill plates with BRABUS logo, ergonomically shaped safety steering wheels with airbag and an exclusive BRABUS interior made from a combination of especially soft yet highly durable BRABUS Mastik and Alcantara leathers.
