Brabus E V12 Coupe

Brabus E V12 Coupe This is the new Brabus E V12 Coupe, a two-door version of the must-Sectioned V12, twin-turbo E-class that the Bottrop-based tuner unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show last September. Brabus E V12 as the sedan, the Coupe 6.3-liter develops 789bhp and a chassis-bending 1047 lbs ft torque. The benefits are so predictable, with the E V12 coupe able to sprint from zero to 62 km / h in 3.7secs and press 231 mph flat out.

Mercedes-Benz F800 Style

Mercedes-Benz F800 Style Mercedes has just announced its latest "research vehicle," the F800 Style, and as concepts are wont to do, it intersperses some extremely ambitious goals with plenty of viable and forthcoming improvements. The two powertrain options touted by the company represent this best. On the one hand, there's a perfectly reasonable PHEV setup that will generate north of 400bhp combined grunt and offer an 18-mile range when abstaining from gas power.

Mercedes-Benz F800 Style Mercedes-Benz also touts the concept's flexible powertrain platform. The realistic option is a plug-in hybrid system that's basically an offshoot of the V6 light-hybrid setup found in the S400 sedan. Mercedes says this new plug-in gas-electric system, which is good for over 400 combined horsepower, gives the car an EV-only driving range of 18 miles.

Mercedes-Benz F800 Style The F800 concept also introduces two new technologies that will doubtless appear in upcoming models. Distronic Plus Traffic Jam Assistant is an enhanced version of Mercedes' active cruise control system, which can now steer the car through curves as long as it's traveling under 25 mph. Neat. Also new is the Pre-Safe 360-degree system, which expands the existing Pre-Safe collision detection/mitigation system to the rear of the car. Now, if Pre-Safe senses that a rear-end impact is imminent, it'll apply the brakes in a bid to keep the car from getting into an additional chain-reaction accident involving other cars or pedestrians.

Mercedes-Benz F800 Style The â€œtechnology platformâ€ bit is held up by two advanced propulsion proposals â€“ plug-in hybrid and fuel cell. The former combines a 300 bhp V6 petrol engine with a hybrid module rated at 109 bhp. The lithium-ion batteries with a storage capacity of over 10 kWh can be recharged either at a charging station or a household power socket, and can solely power the car for up to 30 km. Claimed fuel consumption is 34.5 km/l coupled to CO2 emissions of only 68 g/km. Performance isnâ€™t sacrificed for this â€“ 0-96 km/h is done in 4.7 seconds while top speed is 250 km/h. In electric mode, maximum velocity is 120 km/h. This system will be launched together with the next-gen S-Class.
