Founded in Germany in 1977, Brabus has grown to become the largest tuning firm specialising in Mercedes-Benz products, other than the Mercedes' own AMG subsidiary. This breathtaking example of Brabus's handiwork is based on the ultra-luxurious Mercedes Maybach S650 sports saloon, one of the face-lifted Mercedes-Benz S-Class models introduced in 2014. The German tuner's upgrades boost the 6.3-litre twin-turbo V12 engine's maximum output to a staggering 900 PS (887 bhp) and 1,106lb/ft of torque - figures way beyond those of even the none-too-shabby S650's stock 6.0-litre unit (621 bhp/738 lb/ft). The result is a top speed of over 217mph and a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of just 3.7 seconds - true supercar performance from a vehicle weighing 2.8 tons (2,845 kg). German car magazine Auto Bild pitted a selection of supercars against one another in a test of acceleration where the Brabus 900, despite being the heaviest contestant, reached a speed 211.4 mph in a mere 3,000 metres (1.86 miles).
But Brabus's cars have always offered more than greatly improved engine output, and in the S650's case the German tuner also added a new aero-enhancing front bumper, custom alloy wheels, 'Brabus' logos, and a luxurious leather interior complete with a rear-seat entertainment system and 'Brabus' entrance lights. Of course, with a bespoke vehicle such as this, individual customers could vary the specification to their personal choice, though inevitably that would add to the already not inconsiderable base price of a little over € 500,000.
Finished in black with brown interior, this spectacular Brabus 900 has covered a mere 620km since it left the factory and is presented in effectively 'as new' condition throughout. Noteworthy features include twin sunroofs and Platinum Edition 21" forged wheels, and the car comes complete with an iPad mini, Microsoft Surface, optional touch-screen operation, Apple TV, wireless connectivity, and an LAN router. Sold with all Mercedes-Benz books and a Brabus owner's manual, it needs only for the battery to be charged and will be ready to go. The car is offered with Equatorial Guinea registration document and technical inspection.
