The Brabus 800 S63 Coupe is Menacingly Cool!

Hey guys, I'm shmee, hello to you and welcome back to the channel where you join me today to take a look at one of the

cool

est cars money can buy. I'm on

brabus

and this is the

brabus

800 based on the s63

coupe

. from amg and as the name suggests it has 800 horsepower so let's take a look at the car, talk about the brabus modifications and then hear how it sounds and take it out for a spin to see what it's like so let's get started and check it out. Let's start with a tour and then introduce the car we are looking at today, the brabus 800 based on the mercedes amg s63 4matic and of course the s class is the flagship of the mercedes-benz line.

You can have the Car with different body styles, from the normal saloon to the super extended limousine called Pullman and also the convertible and the

coupe

. It combines luxury with technology to become the ultimate powerhouse and I don't think there are many better ways to achieve it. that in one of these when it goes to amg to receive its treatment in this case for the facelift they have eliminated the old 5.5 liter v8 and the car now has the 4 liter biturbo v8 that is standard with the permanent everything - The Brabus drive configuration would offer 612 horsepower, then take that number and increase it by almost 200 horsepower to 800 and the torque also goes from 850 Nm to 1000 in total, which means that it does not go below 100 kilometers per hour of the standard.

Three and a half seconds for this car doing it in just 3.1. Visually you can see that there are a series of changes. We can zoom in to see them in more detail, but as is always the case with Brabus, it comes in black paint. menacing and aggressive, so if we start from the front, we have the Panamericana front grille with the radar sensor transformed into the Brabus logo, smoked logos, in fact, there and also worn at the top going down, although towards the lower section you can see the carbon. fiber front splitter, you also have those carbon surrounds around the

cool

ing inlets and the fins on the sides, plus the facelift brought new headlights, they do the trick, very smart lights as you can imagine, and then you come back . on the side and you have the 21-inch f forged monoblock wheels; in fact down at the bottom there is even a plaque that tells us so and for this car they have mixed in some red details so the brabus logo here is brabus. logo also on the brake caliper and notice how big those discs are when you look at them, we've got some carbon fiber mirror caps, 21 inch wheels all around and then at the rear you've got the carbon fiber spoiler on the trunk lid with its shape, in addition to surrounding the brabus and the 800 logo designation for the identification badges and then towards the rear, of course we have the carbon fiber diffuser and the exclusive brabus exhaust system, the new stainless steel.

The exhaust that has been installed on this we can hear in a second when we jump to give it life. So what's so special about the coupe? I think this type of shape, especially in a large car, is something that exudes elegance style and in this case combines it with technology and if you look at the interior, in fact, you have dual digital screens, there are no Brabus updates on the interior of this specific car, they can do complete refits and tuning of different models, but you have every technology option you can imagine that you want to have, so let's step here right now, the keyless system, turn it on and it comes to life so that you have several different driving modes that are controlled through the dynamic selector here on the center console which also changed the exhaust valve, so from comfort to sporty, if we go to sport plus you can hear how the revs increase but also the opening of the valve, which is also open in the race, although the engine is cold at this time we cannot.

I hear a lot of this, we'll come back for a sound check later, but just to give you a taste, this is going to sound epic, so in terms of internal technology, it has dual 12.3 inch digital displays for the dash. and for the infotainment, look inside the glove box where you have the fragrance dispenser, if you want your favorite smell to be inside the cabin of the car, something that I really like is the roof, you can open it, open the big glass. roof and you will also see that you have the electric glass that can be darkened and lightened with the push of a button if you want to have the big sunroof style above you and then in the back if I lean over here inside the back there .

There's even a refrigerator in there if you want to keep your champagne bottles cool inside the car while you're driving so you feel like we've got a lot to play with, but let's get out now and see what this is like. on the roads to enjoy driving, the thing is you start driving this car and it feels like a luxurious and quiet vehicle, there is nothing that intrudes in the cabin, it is incredibly smooth, the ride is smooth, we are in mode comfort, of course, and just cruise. Throughout the changes happen completely in the background, we have the AMG nine-speed gear shift.

You have a good sitting position, very comfortable seats, in fact the steering wheel is good, I really like the amg sports steering wheel with the controls, the whole interaction. You have and basically it's a very, very nice place to be. You can activate adaptive cruise control. You have lane assist. You have blind spot monitoring. You have almost every security system you can imagine under the sun. everything, but let's head out onto the highways and try to find some open stretches because I've been driving like that, what else can I tell you other than it's super smooth and a really, really nice place to relax. until stopping it, obviously we have stop and start, you probably want to put it in different driving modes, so let's move on to sport, let's move on to sport and in fact, where obviously the gearbox will stay in a much lower gear, we will have more. throttle response, the suspension has been firmed up and also has independent control of the air suspension system.

Basically the s class has always been the springboard for new technology products within Mercedes cars and that has not stopped at any point, so this car has everything you can imagine is available in a Mercedes car in one and I am in a little bit. I'm a big fan, of course, of cars. I really like this engine and I like it even more in Brabus. setup with about 800 horsepower, that's the noise of a car that just can't merge into the corner and lets us in unfortunately, but we'll get out, we've got a slower stretch to start with and see what we can find I would say. that this will be the normal habitat for this type of car, however, I am going to put the suspension in the softest mode, which is a little nicer on the highway, it gets a little firm but of course the car has a Pretty good dynamics. capabilities when I take it to the race track, I'm also going to put it in manual so we can use the paddle shifters and just drop some gears and experience a little bit of what this car can do on the restricted highways and this is where the numbers just They ramp up so easily, honestly, sometimes I can use that term too much, but in this car with a thousand newton meters of torque you really feel like it could fly down the highways.

I'm short shifting slightly because we're still on a pretty early engine, but we're going over 200 kilometers per hour and it's just going absolutely full throttle, so let's go back to braking, obviously, as I showed you before, we have a lot of stopping power thanks to some huge s-class discs. It's by no means a lightweight vehicle, but this is where you can access the cruise control. Turn it on with the left side of the steering wheel. Activate cruise control. Adjust it to the desired speed. There is a great front screen that gives me a lot of information. information and now it just handles things on its own and you also have with the mode selector the individual mode so you can set the car exactly how you would like it to be set up, you could set this mode for example aggressively in terms of the train motor throttle response but soft on the suspension now we have a little stretch just opening up the front again actually fifth gear instant torque the numbers just start going up with my foot I press down to the floor no damage or stress or anything to the car it just oozes out and You are sitting here all the time in an S-Class, being a larger car, you have a slightly higher seating position than in the smaller variants, but everything you can see, touch and feel is very, very nice, so Of course, from a technology side, like I said, we have a lot more to show you when we get back, but there's a heater that you can turn off right behind your neck, you have massage seats, literally, honestly, you think about it, it's probably inside this car.

You drive like this, just go, just go so easily, how about this? A little ironic, the sound deadening on this car is so good and it's so quiet that if I shift down a few gears, you can't really hear everything. Up to that point you can hear a little bit of creaking in some clicks when upshifting, but it's not really that loud, it's a long car, so the exhausts are very far back and well, we don't hear much of Those, if I open the window quickly, you can hear a little bit more, it's a cool sound, clicking, banging, I think you know it's a cheeky feature of a car that is otherwise very, very quiet, so the coupe s you know it's a statement .

True piece, it is the slightly less practical version of a sedan. It is big, it is powerful, maybe it is not the most necessary, but it is great, great, why not update the bravus 800? We have a stretch that is not restricted but looks very busy on the motorways today, but what I can tell you from previous experience because I drove the s class saloon with the Brabus 800 engine upgrade is that the speed increases towards the v- max, which is limited to around i. Think about just over 300 kilometers per hour, basically 190 miles per hour, give or take, basically more than fast enough, it gets there in a way that not much else does, calmly, smoothly and that complete ease and feeling of power that there really isn't much else I can replicate to be completely honest and I wish we could put our foot down and hear a bit more of this but sadly it doesn't look like that's going to be the case today.

I'm changing onto another road that might be a little better for us, but we'll see, in any case, it's a lot of fun, it's empty highways for sure, this is what we like, the way we go, the power delivery with the stability of the four-wheel drive system. so impressively takes advantage of a small opportunity that is unfortunately too busy today, but we head back to brabus because there is a lot more to show you about this car inside, including the infrared camera system of course, because who? It is not necessary to have infrared inside the car.

One thing that bothers me a little if you approach the traffic light to move lanes, for example, and you don't indicate to do so, sometimes he grabs you by the steering wheel and pulls you back. a little louder than you want, of course, it's a Mercedes security system. It makes sense, but it's a bit much in my opinion. I wish it were a little less intrusive in the way it works. Anyway, just slow down. The tunnel, hey, under the bridge, because why not? I'm going to get out of here and show you more through the inside.

Let me explain some of the features we have in this car. Believe me, there are almost too many. I'll actually show it to you in one video, but we can explore it a little bit by starting, I think right away with the dual cockpit screens, you have these two 12.3-inch screens, one in front of you that's controlled from the left side. of the steering wheel. steering wheel and the one on the right for the main infotainment navigation music, that kind of thing controlled by the right side or by the switch here on the center console, but the steering wheel itself just has this slightly square appearance. these touch controls to cycle through the different screens, for example, um, and I think this whole system works so incredibly well.

I've shown in previous videos with different Mercedes models how everything works and the different screens you have available, but can you literally know how to name it? You can set this up however you want and that noise, by the way, was the retractable seat handlers, I guess they come back because when you get in the car, they actually come forward like this to feed into the seat belt so it's a little bit easier to grab, so in here, for example, the front screen, can you see this right in front of me? A clear screen, lots of information, your cruise control and the like, everything is displayed above. there and you can even change the entire screen to one viewcompletely different, from sporty to classic to progressive, depending on how you want it to look, it's all a very, very nice system and then down here also on the left you have your cruiser.

The control changes the distance to the vehicle in front to jump up and down. You can press it and go three miles an hour in one go or resume or cancel on the left side as well, but on the right side you have controls similar to Make the main center screen where you scroll through the different screens and you also have the switch here which has a cool feature, so it turns quite freely, but when you get to the right side it actually physically stops the turn. Later on, same with the left, so you can just pass instead of endlessly turning more there at the end, but here, if we get into the vehicle, of course, we're currently in German language, but I can tell you a little bit, obviously, the climate control energizes. comfort, which is a single system that basically merges many different features, such as air conditioning, heated seats, lumbar control for a number of different moods, and the fragrance dispenser all together, depending on how you want it, in dynamic selection you can individually configure your driving mode so you can see here you have the engine, you have the gearbox, you have the suspension control, the exhaust noise and the traction, all configurable to your ideal specification if we just go back with you.

You have track control, yes, you have the ability to load race tracks and control your time and your stuff here and then I went one step further than I intended, it's some fuel economy data for the assist, where it literally controls everything, so read. traffic signs that inform you here and also on the head-up display um the camera and the parking and parking assistant the headlights or the detection I'm sorry active braking of the vehicle in front brakes then the car also brakes lane control assistance attention if it is necessary to go for a coffee, I am doing the best I can, yes, detecting the white lines on the side of the road, monitoring the blind spot, um, everything, basically, absolutely everything, the safety of pedestrians too, so there are many, many, many, many security systems. available, which is very good to have in the car office, you can have a SIM card here, it can feed data and be a hotspot to your mobile phone.

Navigation, actually the adaptive cruise control will automatically adjust as it detects and reads traffic signs on the side of the road at a new speed, it will detect when you come to a corner and slow it down slightly to go around the corner and make make the trip more comfortable. You know everything, then up here you have hotkeys for some. of these controls so you can see the power steering that shows the notification at the bottom left of the screen, the lane assist parking sensors, then you have the infrared camera, so if we load this, of course, right now , we can just see in front of us, but when it's completely dark outside, we can see ahead, not that you should drive with the lights off, but it gives you another view of what's happening in front of you and then the head-up display. and then the lift button, sorry, here the air suspension lift button to lift the whole car just to get over some bumps or rough terrain if need be, so again, a lot more going on behind the wheel.

You've got the manual shift paddles, if you choose to use them they stay completely out of the way, in fact if you're not using them, which again is very well placed, you've got the windscreen wipers and light lever on the left. Automatic wipers, automatic lights, automatic everything. As you can imagine, on the right side you have the gear selector, where you press it down to go into gear, up to reverse or park at the end if you want to park the vehicle where, given that we are currently as you can. look in race mode, let's bring this back to the main ride information, let's listen a little to what it sounds like, how can you not like those bumps and creaks?

It's such a good sound now with the dynamic selector here if we put it back to comfort mode. In fact, you can immediately hear the difference with this, basically it just doesn't have those rough cracks at the end, it's just a little bit quieter, so I'm going to leave it in comfort mode while I continue to show you a little bit more. around the interior so further down on the left you have the fog lights your electronic handbrake down here on the door obviously we have the Burmester sound system which sounds amazing your power seats with memory you have your two memory functions here in the In the top level you have the ventilated seat, if you want to be cooler through the perforations in the seat, you can hear the motors turning on blowing air through these perforations in the seat towards my back, you also have the heated seat, um. of course the standard functionality, then you have the button here that would control this, so in a convertible it's very nice to have warm air coming out of the back of your headdress, the air scarf system and finally you have the button here that releases the headrest so just turn off the heated seat for the moment and underneath you have the rear blinds so if I show you how it works I press that button and the blind will close over the back of the blind if you want it to stay a bit. refrigerator in the car and then press again, we'll open it again, but just look at this roof, such a big panel and piece right above us and then like I showed you before, just press the button and it dyes it with the electrochrome. and then it gets much darker and not too intense inside, so upstairs you have some other controls, obviously to close the blind with a single touch, here you have your usual emergency button, so in case of emergency you can press.

Press the button and contact someone who can help you use reading lights and a sunglasses storage bin. The rimless rear view mirror looks very very nice, although the rear visibility is not the best because we have a long car with a sloping rear roof but you can see, I guess there is something out there and one thing that I really like and of the one I need to talk about quickly by turning on the heated seat, the armrest gets heated too, this all gets hot if either side has the heated seat turned on How cool is that?

Continue with more controls you have on the front, some of your hotkeys to jump to certain things, such as seat settings, for example if you want to activate the massage function or adjust the lumbar area. You have several different massage modes, you can activate classic hot mobilization, whatever, you can adjust the side bolsters, uh, plus, that's all through seat control, navigation, radio, hazards, phone multimedia and directly to the car settings. Well if you want to get in there, again it's a one touch button, you have a return and a start and your toggle, then on either side you have some of your driving controls, so here you have the top down cameras. 360 camera viewers available, in fact there are many different modes available because you can load each camera independently depending on what you would like to see to make your life as easy as possible to park the vehicle and then you can also search for a parking spot .

The car detects, as you can see, that it goes through the space and then parks, so it continues here, we have the auto start and stop, we have the driving modes, we have the manual gearbox, we have the different traction controls . Settings on the right we have our three stage multi stage air suspension system and the button here for the exhaust valve so you can open it when you're in comfort mode or hidden under the touchpad where you can type uh navigation. directions, for example, just press Home or swipe it for the next track and the last track and that kind of thing, then on the front, just to open, it has the keyboard charging sensor, it has some big cup holders, it has a Socket of 12 volts hidden there, all of that is neatly hidden underneath and you also have a tray that opens up here, a discreet little storage tray if you want to put your phone, for example, there and no one would know it's there under there than usual. controls for the climate control which, as you can imagine, offer many different modes, settings and configurations with these air conditioning vents perfectly integrated into the dash that actually rotate very nicely towards the door and then the same controls again for the passenger side, although there is a difference, the driver has the button right down here to open the power folding trunk, as well as in the back, just one other thing, I think I'll show you again inside the glove box, where we have a changer CD.

A little bit of space on top of that and our fragrances and a spare key at the moment, but yeah, oh, sort of, I guess as expected, so if you look back, just take a look at the seat of the passenger, you can see the style of it, it's quite bulky. element, but that's because it has a lot of motors and things to adjust, configure, control and change almost every setting you can imagine to make it as comfortable as possible, so if I stop the car for a moment and just get into Te I show the back for a moment back here and it also opens up the engine compartment.

Let's do this quickly before heading to the front, there we are going to look for the latch. If you fold the seat forward, it will be electronically motorized and you will do the rest. I have this weird cube in the back which isn't particularly useful because you can't put a document in there, but anyway, to continue around the back, there are more vent storage cubes here, you also have these storage areas and some 12- outlets in the back, but just some small items that you can put in there and we also have some Brabus mats down here, I noticed that, but basically the fit, finish and quality continues.

You also have heated seats back here. a control on the side and the sound system extends to the back and if we open it up you can see more storage space, another nice storage box, a bucket in the armrest, your cup holders in the front and then in the back, here We open it up, we have the refrigerator that There's literally a refrigerator in the back, so I'm going to jump in just to make it a little easier, but when it's on you can put some bottles in there, maybe I think three in total, but yeah, It takes up a bit of the trunk. space, but nice and easy, multiple layers so it's isolated in terms of sound, but it all works pretty well, so headroom, let's consider this, I think legroom will be the biggest issue.

Headroom is fine, I mean a tall person wouldn't be. particularly comfortable to be honest and if I do this let's see what I'm in because the seat was in my position okay that worked my knees are tight let's say but I could sit here for a short trip but probably a short trip . at most because it's quite claustrophobic anyway let me go back out, we need to take a look at the Braves engine bay. I thought it's definitely awkward to get out of there holding my feet when I did it, so I went around to the front, open this beautiful engine.

Bay, check out the carbon fiber engine cover over the four liter turbo v8 and one thing I really like is that there is gold metallic flake in the lacquer of the carbon fiber. It looks really great, so for extra power, new turbochargers. new ecu of course new exhaust system we are talking almost 200 horsepower or 188 more horsepower and 150 newton meters more too but all the wizards at work at brabus to make that possible always make it a very good package, let's leave this again exploring. around the outside again, I'll show you in the trunk, in fact, let's take a look at this, you can see the space available, you actually just open that up and it opens up, and there's also the rear camera, so it folds down. back to get the rear camera out so it stays clean back here you can see the cooler intruding into the rear space, but I guess there's not really an overall shortage of space, so what I was saying about this is when you put the car in reverse that kind of appears and then the rear camera appears so it never gets dirty, which is normally a rear camera problem, but I think that's pretty much all there is to show you today about the Brabus 850s coupe, so I hope you enjoyed it.

A pretty detailed look at the car.Today, unfortunately, not a great opportunity to really stretch your legs, but as I started, is there anything cooler and more fun than a Brabus S-Class coupe with 800 horsepower finished like that, glossy black with carbon? fiber accents in a car that combines a lot of luxury and technology. Many thanks to them for the opportunity to drive the car today. Thank you very much, as always, for watching. I appreciate your support, but that's all for this time. I will see you again very soon I encourage you
