What Happens When You Make the Fastest and Most Powerful Mercedes-Benz GLE 63 Coupe in the World? Here’s the Answer!

BRABUS Mercedes-Benz GLE 63 Coupe has many things to show, but mainly it can literally brag about being world’s most powerful and fastest SUV. It was revealed last week at the Geneva Motor Show, wearing new shoes specifically tailored for it: the Continental CS6 coming in 23-inches. This was the missing pivotal point that the tuners just had to add. In addition, the GLE has one-off BRABUS appearance with sportier stance, improved power output and exclusive custom interior. Here are the details.

The only thing lacking in this Mercedes-Benz were its standard wheels. BRABUS found an option with the production of the in-house made Monoblock Y “PLATINUM EDITION” high-tech forged alloys. Then it was the time to pick the appropriate size, which in this case was 10Jx23 at the front and 12Jx23 on the rear axle. The matching high-performance Continental tires were a must, and they come in sizes 295/35 R 23 and 335/30 R 23 for the front and rear, respectively.

The Fastest and Most Powerful GLE?

BRABUS Mercedes-Benz GLE 63 Coupe Engine

Yes, by far this is the most powerful and the fastest GLE currently on the market. The project is actually named BRABUS 850 6.0 Biturbo 4×4 Coupe, giving a hint of the horsepower of its engine, which by the way is a turbocharged V8 with a displacement increase to six liters.

It has a power output of 850 hp (625 kW) and a peak torque of 1,450 Nm (1,069 lb-ft) were achieve via engine conversion. This helps the supercar accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 320 km/h (200 mph).

For the power rating also take responsibility the aerodynamic-enhancement components made from naked carbon, the larger down pipes with a diameter of 75 millimeters (3.0 in) and a newly designed exhaust system. This exhaust system also produces active sound management with the throaty “Sport” mode and a subtle whisper in “Coming Home” mode. Because the announced performance needs a closer to the ground car, BRABUS added a special control module for the AIRMATIC air suspension, which lowers the ride height of the SUV by about 35 millimeters.

The in-house made high-tech carbon bodywork components include the front spoiler lip attached to the lower section of the bumper, the air intakes at the sides of the front bumper, sides with integrated LED side markers, carbon rear bumper with side air outlets and a diffuser insert, the ceramic-coated designer tailpipes marked with the BRABUS logo and tuner’s BRABUS roof spoiler. All chrome parts of the bodywork were painted in the color of the vehicle.

Speed and Power Need Refined Interior

The cabin of the vehicle is upholstered with the finest Cuoio-colored leather, Alcantara, etc. It can be seen literally everywhere: from the dashboard and seats to the door panels and the headliner. The extraordinary finish includes braided sections on the seats and door panels as well as light brown piping create custom highlights; while the headliner is made from chocolate-colored Alcantara. In addition, the BRABUS interior carbon and wood trim sets also contributes for the best in-car driving experience.

There is also a wide range of custom accessories made specifically for this cockpit and they feature aluminum door-lock pins, pedals and BRABUS RACE paddle shifters and the stainless-steel scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo.

BRABUS 850 6.0 Biturbo 4×4 Coupe can be currently ordered as a complete car, or the tuning company can convert your GLE 63 if you are interested.

BRABUS Announces Mercedes-Benz G 500 4×4² Project for Frankfurt

BRABUS Mercedes-Benz G 500 4x4² Front View BRABUS Mercedes-Benz G 500 4×4² is going to be revealed tomorrow at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It will be shown at BRABUS stand next to the recently announced custom Mercedes-AMG GT S. Just like the AMG GT S, the G 500 features similar improvements: power uprating and various improvements to the exterior and interior. Let’s see what has happened here.

Engine Uprating via BRABUS B40 – 500 PowerXtra Performance Kit

Mercedes G 500 4×4² is typically driven by the four-liter eight-cylinder twin-turbo engine. Without any modifications it produces 422 hp (310 kW) and 610 Nm (450 lb-ft) of optimum torque. The tuners decided to apply the BRABUS B40 – 500 PowerXtra performance kit onto the powerful V8, thus giving it an addition of 78 hp (58 kW) and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft).

The result is spectacular, and before you calculate it yourself, I will tell you that it is 500 hp (368 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 710 Nm (523 lb-ft) of torque available between 2,250 and 4,250 rpm. Another great result of this tuning is that the performance optimization also gives the Mercedes the capabilities to sprint from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 6.9 seconds. The top speed of the SUV is limited electronically to 210 km/h (130 mph).

Powerful BRABUS-Inspired Exterior

The additional horsepower and torque demand the use of better exhaust. For this purpose, BRABUS installed their stainless-steel sports exhaust system with actively controlled butterfly valves, which control the level of the sound. In addition, the exhaust also features dual chrome tailpipes on each side of the vehicle, thus creating imposing stance. At the rear we also see a brand new bumper as well as mirror-polished underride guard.

The front looks as sophisticated as the rear. There we see new bumper panels on the left and right as well as a mirror-polished underride guard. There is an additional panel under the special radiator grille with integrated BRABUS logo. By the way, the hood scoop, the new radiator grille and headlamp surrounds are all made from carbon fiber.

Furthermore, the front bumper panels include LED lights with chrome surrounds, while the black-tinted BRABUS xenon headlamps and daytime running lights with integrated turn signal function are even more dominating features. Carbon fit covers replace the production turn signals on top of the fenders.

At last, the sides have been upgraded via underfloor lighting for the running boards. They are activated by pulling on a door handle or by operating the keyless-entry remote.

Interior Highlights

The interior was also included in the plans for optimization. BRABUS Mercedes G 500 4×4² features an upholstery made of the finest black Mastik leather with arrow-shaped quilting. The red seams add an intriguing contrast. Alcantara is also to be found in the cabin, precisely on the headliner plus other components in the interior.

The carbon inlays adds even more striking highlight, while the stainless-steel scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo welcome the passengers. And if someone finds that getting out or in the vehicle difficult, then BRABUS have created special power-retractable steps. At last, the tuning of the cabin is rounded out by the aluminum pedals and door pins.

BRABUS Releases a Classy Styling and Performance Update for Mercedes-AMG GT S

BRABUS Mercedes-AMG GT S Side View BRABUS Mercedes-AMG GT S is a very special car, which we will see debuting at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The experts have changed the sports-car thoroughly and have included a significant boost for the AMG engine, some exterior tweaks and more cozy and luxury imbibed cabin.

Generally the custom BRABUS vehicles are more likely to be ‘over-tuned’ and with very rugged and pompous styling. This isn’t the case with this Mercedes-AMG GT S. The exterior of the sports car has been moderately modified and the sense of style and classiness has been kept. Follow my thoughts and you’ll know why.

Reasonable Engine Boost?

BRABUS Mercedes-AMG GT S Engine

The AMG GT S has its capabilities when it comes to performance. So the question here is whether an engine boost is necessary. There will be always opinions on both positions, but BRABUS experts have been obviously chosen the side where one could never have enough power… especially when it comes to a sports car.

This is the reason they have developed the PowerXtra B40 – 600 performance kit. By the way this optimization comes only for the eight-cylinder twin-turbo engine of the GT S. As a result, it gives the enfine an additional 90 hp (66 kW) and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) of torque.

In other words, after the upgrade, the GT S is capable of putting out 600 hp (441 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) at 4,800 rpm. The acceleration time has been rated 3.6 seconds for the 0-100 km/h sprint, while the top speed has been unleashed from 310 to 325 km/h (190 to 201 mph).

Classiness for the Exterior

BRABUS Mercedes-AMG GT S Rear and Side View

BRABUS quad sports exhaust made from lightweight titanium with four tailpipes made from a combination of titanium and carbon is the perfect compliment for the engine tuning. The special thing about this exhaust is that it has been fitted with electronically controlled butterfly valves operated from the cockpit, thus giving the driver the choice of selecting the level of sound he or she is creating.

Carbon fiber, usually used in the Formula 1 racing, has been chosen for all bodywork components. Starting with the front, we see a front bumper which has been visually upgraded with BRABUS front spoiler. In addition, two covers for the side air intakes of the bumper lend the two-seater even more striking face. They also optimize the routing of cooling air. Integrated LED side markers optimize active safety.

At the sides, the experts added new air outlets for the front fenders, BRABUS logotypes and rocker panels. They lend the car lower and sleeker visual stance and also optimize the airflow between the front and rear wheel arches.

Going to the rear, we can’t argue that it isn’t athletic. The in-house made rear airfoil and diffuser with tailor-made cutouts for the four tailpipes of the exhaust system, contribute to optimized handling stability at high speeds.

Furthermore, BRABUS Mercedes-AMG GT S rides on custom wheels with 20-inches of size on the front axle and 21-inches – on the rear. The alloys are called Monoblock F “PLATINUM EDITION” and come coupled with tires of sizes 275/30 ZR 20 and 305/25 ZR 21 for the front and rear, respectively. At last, the new ‘shoes’ of the car demanded new sports springs that has been specifically tailored to the low profile tires. They lower the ride height of the GT S by about 15 millimeters.

BRABUS for the Interior

BRABUS Mercedes-AMG GT S Interior

Inside we see a BRABUS interior with exclusive accessories like the carbon scuff plates with stainless-steel inserts and a backlit BRABUS logo as well as chrome-plated aluminum pedals and aluminum paddle shifters in more ergonomic position on the steering wheel. The seats got premium fine leather upholstery, while the inlays were made from real carbon. There is also a wood upgrade the cockpit of the two-door car.

In conclusion, I must say that while I haven’t seen such a stylish upgrade by BRABUS. Well done guys!

BRABUS smart electric drive Goes Shopping

You must hurry with the Christmas presents if you haven’t already bought them, because the holidays are coming closer. And if in the city centre there’s not a parking space available, then BRABUS have the solution. They know a way around this: first – it has to be a late night shopping, and secondly – it has to be in 2014 BRABUS smart electric drive. We are not speaking mere talks, but this is exactly what happened at the Galleries Lafayette in Berlin, Germany.

Whether drawn by reindeer (in the case of Santa Claus) or in a normal car, finding a place to park, especially in a big capital city such as Berlin is always hard. And in fact, this is particularly challenging during winter holidays.

Why this emission-free smart BRABUS electric drive is the perfect solution? First, because one can transport loads of presents and can be also accompanied by someone special. In addition, they can find a parking space faster than in a bigger car … or Santa’s old sleigh. In fact, in the aforementioned gallery he was allowed to drive the smart directly into the store itself.

What is more, at the store, he also charged the smart battery with the help of a 220-volt socket. The other benefits of this little smart are that it is driven by a 60 kW electric motor. It is hardly believable that it can accelerate from 0 to 60 km/h in only 4.4 seconds and running to its maximum speed of 130 km/h.

The driving range of the 17.6 kWh lithium-ion battery is circa 145 kilometres in the city traffic. The advantage: there are no local emissions! This BRABUS smart fortwo electric drive is also available as a coupé and a cabrio, without the tuning of the famous company. However, it will be driven by a less potent 55 kW engine.

2014 BRABUS smart electric drive has a starting price of 18,910 euros.

Mercedes-Benz s63 AMG Reworked by Brabus

Starting with the power plant, the S63 AMG by Brabus retains the original twin-turbo V8 5.5-liter engine. This time around it no longer generates 585 HP (430 kW) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft). Thanks to the significant rework by the tuner, now the engine delivers a 850 HP (625 kW) at 5,400 rpm and 1,450 Nm (1,069 lb-ft) of torque in the 2,500 – 4,500 rpm range.

Even though there has not been confirmed any performance data, Brabus Mercedes-Benz S63 is going to be quicker than the well-known stock model in rear wheel drive configuration. The base car requires 4.4 seconds until it reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) while the 4MATIC version is able to achieve it in 4 seconds. Initially, Mercedes-Benz is offering the S63 AMG with a 155 mph (250 km/h) electronic top speed limiter but due to Brabus’ previous project this figure is increased to 202 mph (325 km/h).

The refined Mercedes arrives with new aerodynamic features too. For instance, the luxury sedan is equipped with carbon fiber front air intake surrounds, a carbon front splitter, carbon components behind the front wheels and carbon wing mirrors.
