TWIN TURBO 63
Official: 2011 Brabus SLS AMG 700 BiTurbo
Brabus have officially released details on their Mercedes SLS AMG project, the 2011 Brabus SLS AMG 700 BiTurbo. As is usual for Brabus, they haven’t spared the details! This SLS is powered by the new twin-turbo engine developed by Brabus.
The headline figures are 700hp at 6,600rpm and a peak torque of 850Nm at 4,300rpm, which gives the car enough power to reach a top speed of 340km/h. To achieve this, Brabus have used custom-developed twin-turbochargers fitted with air diverter valves. What’s more, these turbochargers both rotate different ways; the left side turning left of the engine and the right side turning right. Brabus claims this solves the issue of turbo lag making the car more responsive under acceleration.
High-performance exhaust manifolds, a custom water-to-air intercooler system and specially manufactured forged pistons have also been added. All modifications have been optimised by ECU upgrades and an integrated electronic boost pressure control. Even with the modifications, the 700 BiTurbo still meets strict emission limits set by EURO V standards.
A new free-flow high-performance high-performance exhaust system has also been installed featuring four slanted tailpipes. This is manufactured from ultra-light titanium and weighs 12kg less than the production exhaust. A butterfly-type valve system can be controlled from the cockpit to give the appropriate soundtrack.
A Speedshift DCT seven-speed sport transmission aids in getting the SLS from rest to 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds and 200km/h in 10.2 seconds.

They didn't twin turbo a 63. It's a swap of the new 5.5 TT from the new AMG's which is the same motor as the GT3 SLS. Brabus is famous for their engine swapping and tuning.

Wrong...it's a 63
The B63 bi-turbo system features a left-turning charger attached to the left side of the engine as opposed to the more common right-charging, right-side fitted twin-turbochargers
The alternatively selectable sport setting gives the M159 6.3-liter eight-cylinder engine an even throatier note than the stock exhaust.

While this is mightily impressive, I don't see what's really groundbreaking about this. Brabus had already twin-turbocharged the M156 in the ML and GL a long time ago (relatively). This would simply be another application for some of that same hardware.
The SLS is certainly a great candidate for this upgrade, however.

Does the bad info come as a part of an RSS feed or something? This is a twin turbo 6.3 and the SLS GT3 has a 6.3 in it as well.
