W210 Brabus E65: The Car Before The EV12

Back in 1997 there were no Mercedes-AMG models of the w210 E-Class available in the United States and certainly no w210 capable of reaching 200MPH. Brabus set to build a w210 that was capable of such performance and what ended up as the result was their 6.5L M119 powered Brabus E65. Very impressive power figures at the time with 450HP and 488 pound feet of torque; numbers which rival the w211 E55 AMG Kompressor in a naturally aspirated lighter w210 chassis. Brabus fell short of their 200MPH goal by 2MPH and as the result the Brabus EV12 was born with a 7.3L M120 stuffed tightly into the w210's engine bay. This car is a piece of tuning past with such a large displacement motor which almost all of the tuners no longer do. While it was not enough for Brabus it is certainly a very impressive piece of engineering. This car is outfitted with the full Brabus treatment which includes: body kit, Brabus Mastik leather interior, 3 piece monoblock iv wheels, four piston brake calipers, suspension, drivetrain and exhaust.
