"The last time Brabus cooked up something this excessive, it was the E V12, which only had 790 hp and a claimed top speed of 230 mph. Like this 850 6.0 Biturbo, it was based on the E-Class. Keep in mind that in Europe, they use these things as lowly taxis packing less than 200 hp, so you can say that the chassis really covers the spread.  The standard E63 AMG makes a thoroughly adequate 577 hp, and I can personally confirm that it&amp;#039;s fast as hell\u2014we have a long-term E63 AMG S 4MATIC wagon in the fleet. Clearly, more than enough isn&amp;#039;t good enough, so Brabus went to work. The company bored and stroked the 5.5-liter block to 5.9 liters and loaded it up with billet internals. Then they fitted the engine with a larger air box and bespoke intake manifold along with a freer-flowing exhaust (with remote-actuated butterfly valves to crank up the volume). The tuner then ditched the old compressors in favor of unnamed Brabus-branded units, and to top it all off, the intake and compressor ducting were wrapped in gold-foil reflective sheeting. Serious stuff. PHOTOS: 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe Brabus claims the modifications are good for a 3.1-second sprint to 62 mph and a top speed of 217 mph depending on configuration. Impressively, Brabus will even warranty the creation for three years or 62,000 miles. That&amp;#039;s generous considering the geological-scale forces churning through its drivetrain.  Whether you buy one directly from Brabus or bring your own for conversion, prepare to wire a significant amount of your liquid funds from whatever offshore banking operation you prefer. Brabus doesn&amp;#039;t even hint at what it&amp;#039;ll cost to build you a 1069 lb-ft-capable E-Class, but figure it&amp;#039;ll be more than what a German taxi operator spends to put a partition in their E200 CDi.
