New Brabus 800 Mercedes-Benz Coupe Lands at Dubai Motor Show



The latest Mercedes-Benz CL 600 is a great road, but how do you do better? In fact, how make what Brabus calls "luxury coupe fastest and most powerful in the world"?

To start, you take the standard V12 bi-turbo 5.5-liter and a grant-designed Brabus crankshaft with a longer stroke, increasing the cylinder bore and larger pistons. Now that you have a V12 with a displacement of 6.3 liters, you add four new camshafts and beautiful machine the two heads of the V12 in order to optimize the flow of the mixture.

This is just the beginning: to replace the file with the new twin turbos, high-performance turbochargers with custom exhaust manifolds with integrated turbine housings. You can install four water-air cooler to keep temperatures under control, and a cap integrated carbon fiber ram air intake and exhaust system to replace the CL with a new, stainless steel unit with the free movement of the catalysts.

Then, the ECU must be reprogrammed to coordinate all these new high performance parts not only for maximum efficiency, but also for the Euro 5 emissions standards.

As you may have already guessed, this is not your average job development. It could not be outrageous for the production of 800 Brabus 800HP and 1420 Nm (1047 lb-ft) of torque (limited electronically in 1100 Nm/811 lb-ft), in which case all other luxury Grand Tourer specifications your mirrors.

The numbers speak for themselves: the CL listening accelerates from 0-100 km / h (0-62 mph) in 3.9 seconds, 0-200 km / h (0 to 124 km / h) in 10.3 seconds, and when an electronically limited top speed of 350 km / h (217 mph).

All this power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a heavily reinforced five-speed automatic transmission that can handle the enormous torque, and the 295/25 ZR 21 rear tires. A suspension lowered by 25mm, a limited slip diff with a rate of 40% blocking and all the electronic stability system is responsible for handling - and if you smoke your specially developed rear Continental, Pirelli or Yokohama within seconds, you can completely disable gadgets.

When such performance, updated braking system is a necessity. Therefore, Brabus has a 405 mm ventilated front discs and six-piston cross-drilled 380 mm front and rear disc four-piston calipers that not only ensures maximum braking power, but also for a long while braking at high speed.

Of course, the 800 Coupé is fitted with a Brabus body kit designed and had full leather and Alcantara Brabus logos-Plus treatment inside.

The 800 Coupé can be purchased as a new car, or alternatively, the package can be installed on any current generation CL 600.

Jaguar Introduces New Sport and Speed Packages for XJ Saloon at Dubai Motor Show


It ain't the NSX replacement that many were expecting to see at this year's edition of the Tokyo Motor Show, but it is a sports cars - albeit one in a small package and with a pure electric drivetrain.

Honda dropped the first official sketches of the provisionally named Small Sports EV Concept before it makes its debut in person and in the flesh at the Tokyo Motor Show floors on November 30.

Frustratingly, the Japanese automaker released close to nothing about the targa-top sports car. All we get from Honda is this Spartan press blurb:

"A next-generation EV sports model which maximizes the fun of driving while achieving excellent environmental performance." Yes, that explains everything…

From what we can tell by looking at the trio of renderings, the two-seater model appears to introduce new styling cues such as the front end design, but we'll have to wait a couple of weeks to find out for sure.

In the meantime, scroll down to check out the gallery.

New Chevrolet Trailblazer SUV Study Revealed Ahead of Dubai Motor Show



In October, General Motors has fallen twilight rendering of a new midsize SUVs, the Chevrolet Trailblazer and a statement that will be in production for global markets will start in Thailand in early 2012.

Today we have the first official images of the pre-production that adorn the floors of 2011 this week, Dubai International Motor Show.

In the same way that the concept of pre-production of the new Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck sized, which is based Trailblazer are only a few elements that are purely material shows such as lights, bumpers and alloy wheels, with some parts trim inside.

Being based on the new Colorado means that Trail Blazer has a traditional body-on-frame structure offer more off-road and towing capabilities, but reduces road ride comfort and handling.

We are always short on the rest of the details, but expect a similar range of engines, perhaps with the addition of one or more units of fuel, such as Colorado.

General Motors has not said whether it will offer the next Trailblazer 2013 in the United States, but is it the new Colorado will be manufactured and sold in the United States, is a very good chance we'll see SUV as its variant.
