The T13 kit includes new turbochargers, a more efficient intercooling system and low-backpressure catalytic converters, as well as reprogrammed engine electronics. Output climbs from 517-630 horsepower, with torque jumping from 612-738 pound-feet.

Brabus tested a Mercedes S600 with the T13 kit at Italy's Nardo circuit and achieved a top speed of 203.2 mph. Acceleration from zero to 60 mph takes less than 4.3 seconds.
