German Mercedes-Benz 'enhancers' Brabus have today announced the third addition to their E-Class line-up. Dubbed the E V12 Cabriolet, Brabus claims it is the world's fastest four-seater convertible with a top speed of 370 km/h. What makes the latest Brabus so fast is the heavily modified V12 that produces 800 hp and 1,420 Nm of torque. For gearbox reliability reasons, this is limited to an equally impressive 1,100 Nm. It is not just fast but also very quick; the acceleration to 300 km/h can be achieved in under 24 seconds. To handle all this speed, the E V12 Cabriolet features uprated, adjustable suspension.
Renault will present this Frendzy Concept at the upcoming IAA in Frankfurt. To compensate for the lack of sound produced by its electric drivetrain, the Renault engineers have partnered with a specialist company to create a 'soundtrack' for the car. This helps improve the awareness of the car with the other road users and as a result increase safety. Labelled a rolling office, the Frendzy Concept comes equipped with the latest technological features including RIM's recently released 'Playbook'.
Abarth have expanded their line-up with the 'esseesse' version of the Fiat Punto Evo. In good Abarth tradition this upgrade comes in kit form and can be ordered with new cars or applied to existing Puntos that are less than a year old. As part of the package the turbocharged engine's performance is increased from 165 to 180 bhp. The esseesse also features revised springs complete with Koni dampers.
