The Maybach with BRABUS SV 12 Biturbo Engine
The World's Fastest and Most Exclusive Ultra-Luxury Sedan

Regardless of whether the rear passengers log on to the internet or whether they enjoy a movie
with Dolby Surround sound on two 15.2-inch color screens: The Maybach refined by BRABUS
(Brabus-Allee, D-46240 Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777-0, fax + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777 111,
Internet www.brabus.com) offers not only unique luxury but also the most comfortable way to
enjoy true high performance. The 640-hp / 471-kW BRABUS SV 12 Biturbo engine gives the
Maybach a top speed of 314 km/h, making it the fastest and most exclusive ultra-luxury sedan
in the world.

The stock version of the turbocharged V12 engine of the Maybach produces 550 hp / 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.

For lubrication of engine, automatic transmission and rear-axle differential BRABUS uses ARAL
high-performance lubricants exclusively.

After the conversion the 12-cylinder twin-turbo engine delivers a maximum power output of 640
hp / 471 kW at 5,100 rpm and a gigantic peak torque of 1,026 Nm, 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 – 100 km/h. 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 314 km/h.
