Biturbo V12 Engine
The stock version of the turbocharged V12 engine of the Maybach produces 550 bhp / 405 kW. Increasing power output by increasing displacement is the BRABUS formula proven tens of thousands of times. For the Maybach engine the BRABUS engineers developed a special crankshaft with longer stroke as well as precision-balanced piston rods and pistons with larger diameters. Cylinder bore is increased accordingly. Displacement grows from 5.5 liters to 6.3 liters.
The BRABUS SV 12 Biturbo engine conversion also includes precision-machined cylinder heads, custom camshafts, new mapping for the engine electronics, and an exhaust system with metal catalysts, whose telling feature are the two ultra-slim tailpipes in the rear.
After the conversion the 12-cylinder twin-turbo engine delivers a maximum power output of 640 bhp / 471 kW at 5,100 rpm and a gigantic peak torque of 757 lb-ft, available already at just 1,750 rpm.
Performance of the luxury sedan improves accordingly: With BRABUS SV 12 Biturbo power the Maybach 57 accelerates in just 4.9 seconds from 0 – 62 mph. During high-speed testing by German car magazine 'auto motor und sport' on the test track in Nardo, Italy the tuned ultra luxury sedan reached a top speed of 195 mph.
Tires and Suspension
This enormous speed places extreme demands on tires and wheels. The BRABUS suspension engineers therefore custom-developed forged BRABUS Monoblock VI light-alloy wheels with 21-inch diameters for the Maybach. The fully polished multi-piece wheels with six double spokes come in sizes 9.0Jx21 in front and 10.5Jx21 on the rear axle and make optimal use of the available space under the wheel arches. Dunlop provides the corresponding high-performance tires in sizes 275/40 R21 on the front axle and 315/35 R21 in the rear.
The BRABUS air suspension module lowers the ride height of the Maybach by some 15 millimeters without any negative effects on the unique ride comfort.
