German Merc tuner Brabus launched its powered-up version of the latest Mercedes S-Class - the one fitted with the V12 engine - at the Geneva Motor Show.
The S600's 517bhp/612lb-ft engine has been enlarged to 6.3 litres and fitted with a modified pair of turbos, new intake and exhaust systems and new camshafts, to give 730bhp and 974lb-ft.
The new engine will haul the super-saloon from 0-60mph in four seconds and up to a top speed - said to be electronically limited - of 211mph.
