More Power Available for Benz S600 Owners Through Brabus T13 Package

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

Brabus T13 S600 Mercedes Benz

A letter and two digits (T13); that’s the code-name for a package that Brabus offers, which makes mandatory the improvement of every adjective to describe the speed and power of Benz’s already very fast S600 sedan.

That 5.5-litre, twin-turbocharged V12 is bumped up by 113 horsepower via new turbochargers, a better cooling system and new catalytic converters with low back pressure. Your $26,000 US Dollars also removes the speed limiter, which very well could be the most important part of the whole package. Without it, owners would never be able to see its top speed of 327 km/h, 77 km/h more than what the standard car is capable of. It’s still not enough to out-run the Brabus Rocket, though.

Oh, and you’ll need to buy high-performance tires to cope with the speed and loads. That’ll set you back extra, too.
