Brabus Maybach
Wow, I just love horsepower wars. Brabus also has a tuned Maybach that will be on display at the Geneva Motor Show this March. This is even more powerful than the AMG tuned Maybach 57S. There are apparently 2 Brabus Maybach tuned engines, the first one with 620 bhp and a later one with 640 bhp. The AMG tuned 57S makes 612 hp.
The Brabus Maybach uses a slightly higher displacement engine which displaces 6.3L as compared to the 6.0L one in the Maybach 57S. Torque figures also increase to 757 lb-ft from as low as 1750 rpm. That's 19 lb-ft more torque than the 57S has, and it comes 250 rpm sooner.
The Brabus Maybach has been tested to run 195 mph already! That's 25 mph faster than the 57S. 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) should be under the 57S time of 5 seconds.
