Brabus G63 AMG

Brabus has prepared an upgrade kit for the latest Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG. In typical Brabus tradition, the power of the V8 5.5-liter bi-turbo engine has been increased to 620 HP (456 kW), up from the standard 544 HP (400 kW). In addition, the torque figure is also up by 40 Nm (29 lb-ft) to 800 Nm (590 lb-ft). Aside from the healthy power boost, Brabus installed a new set of huge 23-inch, twin-spoke alloy wheels and painted the brake calipers in yellow. Other highlights include the ride control comfort suspension and valve-controlled exhaust system.

Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake by Brabus

Brabus has released an extensive upgrade program for the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake that brings not only a power boost but a few styling changes as well such as a new front spoiler, front fascia attachments with LED DRLs, side skirts and fenders. The models that feature the AMG sport package can get a new front spoiler lip, while the CLS 63 AMG is available with an additional front spoiler and fender attachments.

The CLS Shooting Brake can ride on a new set of Brabus Monoblock wheels in sizes varying from 8.5Jx17 to 10.5Jx20 and available in six designs. There are also new suspension options created in collaboration with Bilstein that are specifically calibrated to use with low-profile tires and can lower the car by approximately 35mm.

As you would expect, there’s also a power boost via the ECO PowerXtra D4 performance kit that increases the power of the CLS 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY by 31 hp (22.8 kW) and lifts torque figure to 446 lb-ft (560 Nm).

The CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY can be equipped with the ECO PowerXtra D6S package that raises the output to 313 hp (230 kW) in sport mode, enough for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 5.9 seconds.

The CLS 500 BlueEFFICIENCY has its own tuning kit that produces 500 hp (368 kW) and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm). With the Brabus Vmax unit installed, the car can hit a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h).

The CLS 63 AMG can generate 619 hp (455 kW) and a peak torque of 663 lb-ft (737 Nm), propelling the car to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph (320 km/h).

Mercedes SL-Class by Brabus

Brabus has introduced a new tuning program for the 2013 Mercedes SL-Class. Starting with the exterior, the model can be outfitted with a body kit that includes new bumpers, revised side skirts, front fender vents and a trunk-mounted spoiler. Customers can also order a sports exhaust system and Monoblock wheels that are available in sizes ranging from 18- to 20-inches. To spruce up the cabin, Brabus offers premium leather upholstery, illuminated sill plates, wood / carbon fiber trim and a new speedometer that tops out at 320 km/h or 360 km/h (200 mph or 225 mph). The SL500 (aka 550) can be equipped with a 520 PowerXtra CGI power kit which enables the twin-turbo 4.7-liter V8 engine to produce 520 PS (382 kW / 512 hp) and 820 Nm (604 lb-ft) of torque. This allows the convertible to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, before hitting an electronically-limited top speed of 250, 275 or 300 km/h (155, 172, 186 mph). The car can also be equipped with a limited-slip differential and a revised suspension with sport springs (on the SL 350) or a reprogrammed ABC (Active Body Control) module that reduces the ride height by approximately 25mm.

2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class by Brabus

Brabus is bringing its tuned version of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class to the Essen Motor Show. The tuning program for the M-Class starts with a subtle body kit made of Pur-R-Rim plastics which includes new sill skirts that make the SUV look longer and sleeker and also feature entrance lights that turn on when pulling on the door handle. The program also includes a power upgrade on the ML 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC diesel variant by means of the BRABUS ECO PowerXtra D6S performance kit with output bumped up to 306 PS (225 kW / 301 hp) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque from the series 258 PS (190 kW / 254 hp) and 620 Nm (457 lb-ft). The sprint time from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) comes in at a flat 6 seconds and top speed is increased to 229 km/h (142 mph). Brabus also offers its Monoblock wheels sized between 18 and 22 inches on the M-Class. A standard suspension lowering of 30 mm is part of the program and for the M-Class with AIRMATIC suspension a Brabus module can lower the ride-height by 30-40 mm. Interior touches include the bi-color stainless-steel scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo as well as the matte-anodized aluminum pedals. Brabus also offers fully individualized finishes for the cabin.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster by Brabus

Mercedes tuner Brabus has unveiled its package for the SLS AMG Roadster which it will premiere at the Essen Motor Show this weekend. The German tuner starts things off with a complete carbon fiber aerodynamic kit which it offers either in a high-gloss or matte finish. The body kit includes a front spoiler, newly designed air vents for the front fenders, side skirts, rear spoiler, side air vents for the rear fascia and a diffuser with integrated quad-exhaust. Brabus then fits its own Monoblock F "Platinum Edition" forged wheels, offered in several finishes, with 20-inch rims for the front and 21-inch rims at the rear axle. The Brabus Ride Control suspension system lowers the car by up to 40 mm at the touch of a button where the driver also gets to choose between different damper settings. The tuner also offers a Front Lift System which can raise the front axle of the car by 50 mm to navigate speed bumps or other obstacles. For a power upgrade Brabus adds a titanium sport exhaust system with quad pipes measuring 84 mm in diameter and an engine tuning that raises output on the 6.3 liter V8 from the series 571 PS (420 kW / 563 hp) to 611 PS (448 kW / 600 hp). For the interior, Brabus offers fully individualized finishes using the finest leather and Alcantara materials with carbon-fiber or exotic-wood trims.

Brabus 800 Coupe based on Mercedes-Benz CL 600

German tuner Brabus has introduced the Brabus 800 Coupe, based on the Mercedes-Benz CL 600, at the 2011 Dubai International Motor Show.

The tuner turns the 12-cylinder 5.5 liter unit into one displacing 6.3 liters for a total output of 800 PS (588 kW / 788 hp) and 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) of torque.

The engine work consists of a new crankshaft with a longer stroke, a larger cylinder bore and larger forged pistons. Brabus also replaces the twin-turbo system with its own for those serious power figures. Transmission is a five-speed automatic.

Top speed has to be electronically-limited to 350 km/h (217-mph) and torque on the car is also electronically governed to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft). The 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint takes just 3.9 seconds and the car reaches 200 km/h (124 mph) in 10.3 seconds.

Brabus adds an aero kit, 21-inch wheels and a lowering module that brings the car 25 mm closer to the ground in order to keep things stable. To reign it all in is Brabus's high-performance brake system.

For the inside is a finish in white leather and black Alcantara with contrasting diamond stitching. Carbon fiber trims, matte surfaces in checkered flag design, aluminum pedals and a sport steering round out the package.

Press release:

World Debut at the 2011 DUBAI INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW
The World's Fastest and Most Powerful Luxury Coupe
BRABUS 800 Coupe with 800 hp, 1,420 Nm and 350-km/h Top Speed
800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW, 1,420 Nm (1,047 ft-lb) and a 350-km/h (217-mph) top speed: in the new BRABUS 800 Coupe based on the latest Mercedes CL 600 BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, D-46240 Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777-0, fax + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777 111, Internet www.brabus.com) celebrates the world debut of the world's fastest and most powerful luxury coupe at the 2011 DUBAI INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW. In addition to its unique performance the two-door car's most impressive features are its exclusive sporty-elegant design and its high-class interior.
The 12-cylinder engine of the CL 600 is reengineered thoroughly in the BRABUS engine-building shop that is equipped with state-of-the-art machine tools. Displacement is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 384 cu. in.) with the help of a special BRABUS crankshaft with longer stroke, larger cylinder bore and correspondingly larger forged pistons. Further performance-enhancing modifications to the engine itself are the fine-machining of the two cylinder heads for optimized mixture flow and the installation of four special camshafts.
The engine peripherals are modified extensively as well: the standard twin-turbo system is replaced with a high-end turbocharging system designed by the BRABUS engine specialists. The new system features two custom exhaust manifolds with integrated turbine housings and high-performance turbochargers as well as four water-to-air intercoolers. The combustion air is supplied by a carbon-fiber ram-air intake integrated into the hood. In addition there is a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts.
Precision-programmed mapping for injection and ignition coordinate the optimal interaction of the high-performance components in order to achieve not only maximum power yield but also to meet strict current EURO V emission limits. The high-tech lubricants for the entire powertrain are supplied by technology partner ARAL.
As a result of the extensive modifications the BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo engine delivers unparalleled performance figures: the engine produces its maximum rated power output of 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW at a low 5,500 rpm. Even more colossal is the peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 ft-lb) available from 2,100 rpm. In the car peak torque is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 ft-lb).
Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission that has been reinforced to handle the enormous power, and the BRABUS high-performance limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40 percent. Naturally the BRABUS 800 Coupe retains all modern vehicle stability systems that can be deactivated at the push of a button.
This engine under the hood makes the BRABUS 800 Coupe the world's most powerful and fastest four-seat luxury coupe. From rest the exclusive two-door car sprints to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds and reaches 200 km/h (124 mph) after a mere 10.3 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 350 km/h (217 mph).
These extremely fast speeds place especially high demands on the aerodynamic-enhancement components that were developed in the wind tunnel. The sophisticated shape of the BRABUS front spoiler that attaches to the production fascia reduces lift on the front axle for further improved directional stability at high speed.
To achieve a precise aerodynamic balance BRABUS equips the CL with an understated rear spoiler on the trunk lid and a rear fascia insert. The insert replaces its production counterpart in the bumper and features a central reflector as well as one custom-tailored cutout on either side to provide the perfect backdrop for the four tailpipes of the BRABUS sport exhaust system.
Exciting design, top-notch quality and further improved driving dynamics are the outstanding characteristics of the BRABUS Monoblock wheels, which are available for the Mercedes CL-Class with diameters ranging from 18 to 22 inches. To make safe use of the car's impressive performance requires BRABUS Monoblock 21-inch wheels, available as Monoblock VI, E or F designs. BRABUS technology partners Continental, Pirelli and YOKOHAMA supply tried and tested high-performance tires in size 265/30 ZR 21 in front and size 295/25 ZR 21 on the rear axle.
The BRABUS ride-height lowering module for the standard ABC suspension is specifically calibrated to these ultra-low-profile tires, and lowers the body of the two-door car by some 25 millimeters (1 inch).
To keep the stunning performance safely in check at all times the BRABUS 800 Coupe comes equipped with version IV of the BRABUS high-performance brake system. The front axle is fitted with six-piston aluminum fixed calipers and vented and cross-drilled discs measuring 405 x 34 millimeters (16 x 1.3 in.). Together with discs measuring 380 x 34 millimeters (15.0 x 1.34 in.) and 4-piston fixed aluminum calipers on the rear axle the system delivers outstanding stopping power and endurance.
The interior received a high-class upgrade to match the car's diamond-white metallic paint finish. The BRABUS upholsterers masterfully crafted an interior from a combination of white leather and black Alcantara, each with contrasting seams and diamond-pattern topstitching. Carbon-fiber elements in the cockpit add a markedly sporty touch. Their matte surfaces in "checkered flag" design make them textbook eye-catchers.
An ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel is also part of the extraordinary BRABUS interior refinement as are scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo, and aluminum pedals, foot rest and shifter.
The BRABUS 800 Coupe is available as a complete vehicle or can be built based on any current Mercedes CL 600 model.

Mercedes SLK by Brabus

On the styling front, the model can be outfitted with a front lip spoiler, lowering springs (which reduce the ride height by 30mm) and a variety of wheels in sizes from 17- to 20-inches. Out back, there's a trunk-mounted spoiler, a rear diffuser and a four-tailpipe sport exhaust system.

Inside, customers can order aluminum pedals, stainless-steel scuff plates and Mastik leather or Alcantara upholstery.

The four-cylinder engines can be equipped with ECO PowerXtra CGI auxiliary control modules which are "custom-tailored to each respective engine variant and can be installed by any authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer in less than an hour thanks to their ‘plug and play' design." It enables the SLK 200 BlueEFFICIENCY to produce 209 PS (154 kW / 207 hp) and 280 Nm (206 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 26 PS (19 kW / 25 hp) and 30 Nm (22 lb-ft).

On the other hand, the SLK 250 BlueEFFICIENCY produces 230 PS (169 kW / 226 hp) instead of the standard 204 PS (150 kW / 201 hp). An optional intercooler and wastegate valve can boost the output to 240 PS (176 kW / 236 hp) and 370 Nm (273 lb-ft) of torque, which enables the roadster to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 6.2 seconds and hit a top speed of 248 km/h (154 mph).
