| Brabus 800 Widestar G-Wagon Lays Claim as the World's Most Powerful SUV Posted: 09 Mar 2011 05:23 AM PST
If you thought the Brabus G V12 S with its 700hp was too tame, German tuner superstar Brabus may have finally outdone themselves. The Brabus 800 Widestar picks up where that behemoth left off and increases power output to 788hp at 5,500 rpm with 811 lb-ft of twist. This comes by way of a hand-built 6.3-liter V12 engine outfitted with a special crankshaft with longer stroke and larger pistons and cylinder bores. In addition, two custom manifolds with built-in turbine housings and high-performance turbos are used to deliver such extreme output. Four water-to-air intercoolers keep things from overheating while a new intake system delivers ample oxygen and a stainless steel high-performance exhaust offers increased flow.
A reinforced 5-speed automatic transmission is used to put that power to the ground via all four wheels. A high-performance braking system including 6-pistcon calipers with 380mm vented discs up front and 4-piston calipers with 345mm vented rotors in back keeps things in check. The sprint from 0-62 mph takes a scant 4.0 seconds flat. Top speed is 168mph but it's electronically limited to 149 mph. Brabus Ride Control's automatic damping system helps balance driving comfort and sport handling making sure you don't have to suffer teeth chatter as you tear up terrain.

Ah yes... America's favorite franchise car film is returning for its fifth installment. All the usual suspects are coming back for Fast Five including the dynamic duo of Paul Walker and Vin Diesel who will be joined by Tyrese "Dammit Brian" Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Matt Schulze, Gal Gadot, Tego Calderon, Don Omar, Ludacris and Sung Kang, who has made a miraculous recovery after being blown-up and torched in Toyko Drift, a feat which has not gone unnoticed.
The plot of Fast Five centers around the this crackerjack crew of car junkies with compelling interpersonal issues all brought together for one final job. If you recall, in the last go-round, Brian and Mia sprung Dom from the big house and have been on the run every since.
