BRABUS, masters of the art of engine transplants, are proud to presents the ultimate high performance expression of the stylish Mercedes-Benz SLK roadster. 450 bhp from 6.5 litre V8 turns this compact roadster from an agile lightweight fighter into a heavyweight bruiser that can outpunch big league supercars with consummate ease. The first such BRABUS Q-car was born in 1985, when Germany's most innovative Mercedes tuner transplanted a 250 bhp 5.0 litre V8 engine into the Mercedes-Benz 190E. Humble compact Mercedes sedan became roadburning Q-car in a Jekyll and Hyde transformation described by an internationally respected motoring writer as "a four-seater AC Cobra." Last year, BRABUS produced a spiritual successor to this car, but on a higher plane. Built to order only, the BRABUS E V12 starts life as a humble E-Class midrange sedan but gains the ultimate power transfusion from the BRABUS "S"-spec 7.3 litre V12. A whopping 582 bhp propelled the first E V12 into the Guinness Book of Records as the Fastest Four-Door Sedan on the planet with an electronically limited (!) 330 km/h top speed. Hot on its heels was the BRABUS T V12, the 320 km/h station wagon version. While mulling over the basic concept of the SLK V8, BRABUS' engineers found that the SLK's engine compartment was dimensionally capable of housing the compact alloy V8 motor without significant modifications. The standard V8 motor from the E 420 comes with 279 bhp, nearly 100 bhp more than the SLK 230 quite spectacular performance. But BRABUS have never been known to do things in half measures, and decided to go for broke with their top-spec 450 bhp 6.5 litre motor. Stripped back to component form, the factory 4196 cc V8 receives a new alloy block, long- throw steel crankshaft, lightweight forged pistons and matching con-rods. The engine is as finely balanced as a Swiss watch and re-assembled. Gas-flow work is done on the cylinder head with high-lift camshafts and then, the revitalised motor pumps out 450 bhp/331 kW at 5.700 rpm under-pinned by a spectacular 662 Nm/488.6 lb ft of torque at 3.800 rpm. Faced with this level of power and torque, the standard five-speed automatic transmission had to be modified too. A bespoke propellor shaft takes the power to the high performance rear differential. Launched in anger, the 1,522 kg BRABUS SLK V8 will blast to 100 km/h in just 4,7 sec. and reaches double that speed from rest over a distance of just 548 meters! BRABUS has always offered its clients alternative final drive ratios which aid either top speed or acceleration. The ratio that allows these acceleration numbers gives a 285 km/h (178 mph) top speed. The alternative is a taller ratio allowing a 302 km/h (189 mph) top speed. Roadsters are driven for sheer fun more than anything, and a significant part of that experience is the soundtrack. The V8 rumble of the AC Cobra says "muscle car" in no uncertain terms, and so it is with the BRABUS SLK V8. The bespoke stainless steel high performance exhaust with its free-flowing metal catalysts emphasises the deep rumble of the four-valves-per-cylinder V8 at low rpm. At high revs, it turns into a powerful bellow which will gladden the hearts of car enthusiasts. The supercar league performance of the SLK V8 is matched with a similar level of chassis tuning. The brakes are uprated with BRABUS high performance brakes using huge grooved vented discs and four-pot alloy calipers. The weight distribution and total weight of the BRABUS SLK V8 is totally different from the standard car so the 30 mm lower ride height is achieved with special gas dampers and uprated progressive springs developed specially for this car. Body roll is controlled by a bespoke anti- roll bar kit. Visually, the first indication of the car's BRABUS origins come from the distinctive BRABUS Monoblock IV modular alloy wheels, 8,5Jx18-inch in front and 9,5Jx18-inch at the rear, these use the latest Dunlop SP 9000 tyres in 225/40 ZR 18 and 255/35 ZR 18 sizes. This combination is optimum for ride and handling as well as visually filling the wheelarches to perfection. BRABUS major on body aerodynamic components that improve drag coefficient and stability while retaining a discreet look. The BRABUS front spoiler integrates perfectly with the SLK's nose to reduce lift at speed and gives the car more overtaking presence on the autobahn. This works perfectly for the more modest power increases such as the BRABUS 250 bhp conversion for the SLK 230 Kompressor. But the SLK V8 has an additional 200 bhp and so a race car style carbon-kevlar spoiler lip has been developed to give additional downforce. The rear valence is deeper than standard and incorporates both a small wing on its trailing edge to clean up airflow as well as a cut-out for the two large, sloping exhaust tailpipes that are a BRABUS hallmark. The subtle side skirts visually tie the new front spoiler and rear valence together forming a harmonious composition. Fine details have always been a BRABUS strong point and when the clever powered roof is folded away, you can appreciate the two highly-polished stainless-steel roll-over bars which emphasise the classic roadster look. This material also forms the new gear-lever, handbrake and other fine details around the cabin like the door entry plates. Clients who love special interiors will fall in love with the backdrop to this fine detailing formed by standard bespoke full- leather trim in BRABUS Mastik leather. The special honeycombed pattern on the floor is a also BRABUS trademark. The hand-built BRABUS SLK V8 is the ultimate expression of the compact SLK roadster, and its price of DM 343.548 including 15% German VAT reflects that uniqueness.

Still waters run deep, so the saying goes, and real power is often merely implied. This is certainly the case with the BRABUS E V12 and BRABUS T V12 which clothe a state-of-the-art 12-cylinder engine in the bodyshell of the current Mercedes-Benz E-Class saloon and station wagon.
The BRABUS 7.3S engine produces 582 hp / 428,3 kW along with 772 Nm of maximum torque at 4000 rpm. Such unprecedented levels of power in the four-door salon produce true supercar performance with an electronically limited top speed of 330 km/h and 0 - 100 km/h taking mere 4,9 seconds. The station wagon version has the same acceleration figures but is electronically restricted to a maximum speed of 320 km/h.
The subtle outward appearance of this car doesn't say much about the latent power inside: The discreet BRABUS frontspoiler with additional Carbon lip reduces the lift on the front axle at speed. The suspension strikes the perfect balance between handling and comfort and the competition brake system ensures that the car stops as well as it goes. The new 18 inch Monoblock IV alloy wheels with Michelin tires help transmit the power safely to the road.The interior is pure luxury, BRABUS style. The owner of an E V12 or T V12 can design his surroundings in the way that he might choose his home furnishings. The finest woods and leathers in colours and tones to suit individual tastes is there for the asking, while bespoke features such as mobile phone, high-end audio systems or a built-in cool box can also be incorporated.

The British call it a Q-car, the Americans refer to it as a sleeper, but the effect is the same; an unassuming four-door sedan with the performance to blow expensive sportscars into the weeds. In times when more and more people wish to travel quickly incognito, the understated supercar has come into its own.
With a 408 hp at 5500 rpm and a stump-pulling 604 Nm of torque at 3800 rpm, the 6.0 litre 32-valve V8 engine blasts the C-Class based BRABUS C V8 to 100 km/h in 5,4 seconds and on to a top speed up to 289 km/h depending on the chosen rear axle ratio. Built to special order only, the C V8, the smallest wolf in sheeps clothing from BRABUS, comes with an automatic transmission, frontspoiler, alloy wheels and a bespoke leather interior.

Short, powerful and exclusive are three words that describe the attributes of the new BRABUS G 5.6 S. This special limited edition vehicle addresses the needs of customers who wish to marry exclusivity to maximum tractive ability, formidable V8 power and a handy-sized vehicle. Mercedes-Benz sold their limited edition 500 GE very quickly, so BRABUS additionally offer the 5.6 S in long wheelbase to close this gap, and indeed, clients can specify the engine in any of the G-Class body options. The centre of attraction is the V8 engine which has been enlarged to 5.6 litres with the aim of increasing the power and torque to levels where drivers will not miss the performance of a luxury saloon car.
280 hp / 206 kW and 435 Nm of torque at 3000 rpm give the BRABUS G 5.6 S four-speed automatic outstanding acceleration. 0 - 100 km/h takes just 5.6 S 8,5 seconds and top speed is 195 km/h, performance figures normally associated with a sporting saloon or coupe.

A safe and luxurious office on wheels is the latest executive offering from BRABUS with the stretched Business Limousine based on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class: In a world first, this vehicle is offered with twin airbags for the rear occupants, in addition to the standard front airbags. Dignitaries can have their vehicles armoured to recognised balistic specifications. The specification for the BRABUS Business Limousine is flexible and can be tailored to individual requirements. With the BRABUS Business Limousine, the loss of front seat adjustment is slight, allowing the chauffeur to find a comfortable driving position, an added safety feature.
The rear compartment offers two individual seats divided by a console with an integrated coolbox. Electrically-operated burr walnut clad tables provide a working surface, while on the opposite console is a TV/video, mobile fax, two telephones and a notebook computer with modem. File storage facilities are provided and when the occupants are not working, a hi-fi system with CD changer provides in-car entertainment. This spacious compartment is selectively sealed off from the front of the car by an electrically-operated partition window that drops down into the partition wall behind the front seats. Dark-coloured curtains screen the occupants from the outside world. The BRABUS Business Limousine is open to the extensive range of colours and grades of leather that the company offers to all its clients, and similarly, different colours and shades of wood are available to complement the fine leathers. External appearance can be enhanced through the use of 19 or 20-inch alloy wheels.
The V8 engined S 420 and S 500 models can have their capacity increased to 6.0 litres. The V12 S-Class is open to 6.9, 7.3 or 7.3S specification engines which will give increases to 509, 530 and 582 hp. The significant torque of 772 Nm (570 lb ft) of the 7.3 S engine turns the BRABUS Business Limousine into the fastest mobile office in the world this side of a Lear Jet! Although the BRABUS Business Limousine has a plethora of secondary safety features to protect its occupants, primary safety is always better. To this end, all versions of this car come equipped with a high performance brake system with 370 mm diameter cross-drilled vented discs and four-pot calipers.
