  • Brabus WIDESTAR Mercedes GL63 AMG

    Brabus has introduced their latest project based on the mighty SUV – Mercedes-Benz GL 63 AMG. The BRABUS WIDESTAR body conversion for the new GL-Class is characterized by the striking fender flares front and back that add 80 mm to the width of the grand SUV. The engine is also tuned, so the Brabus GL 63 AMG is superfast.

    Speaking about velocity, the 5.5 liter twin-turbocharged V8 has received a 620 PowerXtra kit. In other words, it produces 620HP (456 kW) and 820Nm (604 lb-ft) of torque. This is an increase of 63HP and 60Nm. 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph) – electronically-limited.

    The exterior boasts new front and rear bumpers, extended wheel arches and a tailgate-mounted spoiler. There is also a new rear diffuser, a stainless steel sports exhaust system, a new high-performance brake system and a suspension lowering module that reduces the ride height by 30 mm. There are different sets of wheels available in 21”, 22” and 23” as well tire sets from Yokohama or Pirelli.

    The interior comes with  alloy pedals, aluminum shift paddles and a 320 km/h (200 mph) speedometer. Other upgrades are illuminated sill plates, exotic wood trim and bespoke leather or Alcantara upholstery.

  • Brabus 800 Widestar at the 2013 Qatar Motor Show

    Brabus 800 Widestar is based on the new Mercedes G 65 AMG. It comes with complete aerodynamics package, big wheels, lowered suspension and awesome performance upgrade.

    The 6.0 liter V12 Bi-turbo is boosted to 800HP (588 kW) at 5,500RPM and 1,420Nm (1,047 lb-ft) of torque at just 2,100RPM. However, the peak torque is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) to prevent transmission problems. The engine is mated to a 7-speed automatic gearbox.

    0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) – electronically limited. Without the limiter the high-performance off-roader would be capable of reaching a speed of 270 km/h (168 mph).

    The exterior comes with optional BRABUS WIDESTAR wide-body kit including fender flares, front spoiler added to the production fascia, BRABUS rear fascia, BRABUS roof spoiler and BRABUS logos integrated into both sides of the SUV. The integrated air vents and the BRABUS attachment components on the doors add further striking highlights when viewed from the side.

    The widened wheel wells provide space for BRABUS forged wheels with a diameter of 23”. There are three BRABUS “Platinum Edition” 11J x 23” wheels to choose from: In addition to the popular Monoblock E evo and Monoblock F “Platinum Edition” designs, there is now also the BRABUS Monoblock R “Platinum Edition” forged wheel. This design has nine double spokes arranged in two matt titanium and fully polished plains. It is fitted with high-performance tires in size 305/35 R 23 from BRABUS technology partners Continental, Pirelli or YOKOHAMA.

    Another BRABUS high-tech feature is the Ride Control suspension developed in cooperation with technology partner BILSTEIN. An aluminum button sporting the BRABUS logo on the center console lets the driver manually choose between two setups for the two-way electrically adjustable shock absorbers. In comfort mode the off-roader provides exemplary ride comfort that even surpasses the production car. At higher speeds and for a spirited driving style the firmer sports setting offers more dynamic handling and even further increased safety reserves.

    The interior of the G 65 AMG can be custom-tailored to the owner’s personal preferences in the BRABUS upholstery shop. The choice of colors for the especially softy and breathable BRABUS Mastik leather and the fine Alcantara is virtually limitless. Just as boundless is the selection of upholstery designs and the variety of exclusive wood or carbon-fiber inlays. In this area as well BRABUS can fulfill special color requests and designs, including wood inlays in an especially exclusive yachting design.

    The BRABUS product range also includes stainless-steel scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo and further attractive accessories such as high-quality velour floor mats and BRABUS aluminum pedals and door-lock pins.

  • BRABUS ULTIMATE Electric Drive Smart ForTwo Convertible

    BRABUS ULTIMATE electric drive is based on Smart ForTwo convertible. It will hit the market in spring 2012 with more power and better performance than its production brethren. Still, there are no exact figures for the ecofriendly city sports car.

    Originally the electric drive vehicles has a less than thrilling sound and is particularly heard to hear for pedestrians and bicyclists alike. However, a BRABUS sound generator lends the ULTIMATE electric drive the sound of a V8 engine or space-age soundscapes whose volume is dependent on the position of the accelerator pedal. Great! First, we have to drive underpowered small electric cars and now we will make them to sound like a real car. No thanks!

    The exterior comes in matte white and features BRABUS WIDESTAR fender flares front and back to make space for the large BRABUS Monoblock VI in dimensions 7J x 18” with 205/35 R 18 high-performance tires up front and 8.5J x 18” with 235/30 R 18 for the rear.

    The wider track of the widened two-door car contributes to its agile and safe handling as does the height-adjustable coilover suspension.

    The front spoiler reduces lift on the front axle and the WIDESTAR side skirts of the wide version create a visually and aerodynamically harmonious transition between the fender flares front and back.

    The interior boasts all-leather upholstery including seats, door panels and dashboard. The white leather is sewn with the finest green thread. Green trim and green accessories in the cockpit add further contrasts.
