Brabus B63S-700 6x6, 2013

 

  

 

•  Brabus B63S-700 6x6, 2013

The innovative Brabus lighting concept sets further visual signals. It includes dark-tinted LED lights integrated into the front spoiler edges. Even more dominant are the black Brabus xenon headlights and daytime running lights with integrated turn-signal function for all current models of the venerable off-roader. The now obsolete production turn signals on top of the fenders are replaced with clear-coated matt carbon-fiber covers. In conjunction with the matt carbon-fiber structure on the hood and the carbon-fiber shells for the exterior mirrors they round out the belligerent 6x6 look to full effect.

2 wheels more than normal, plus power in abundance as is the norm for Brabus: in the Brabus B63S-700 6x6 a particularly exclusive power off-roader based on the Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6 celebrates its world premiere at the 2013 IAA in Frankfurt/Main.

The Brabus lends the most exclusive G-Class of all times even more punch: powered by a 5.5-liter V8 Biturbo with Brabus B63S-700 engine tuning producing 515 kW / 700 hp (690 bhp), the six-wheel drive powerhouse weighing in at around four tons sprints from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 7.4 seconds. The top speed is limited electronically to 160 km/h (100 mph) due to the 37-inch off-road tires.

As a contrast to the striking black, chrome and carbon-fiber Brabus exterior, the Brabus interior designers picked a fiery red Mastik leather/Alcantara interior.

The Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6 built in small-series production comes normally with a 5.5-liter eight-cylinder four-valve Biturbo engine producing 400 kW / 544 hp (536 bhp). Brabus can draw upon the world's most extensive engine tuning program for Mercedes-Benz automobiles in the case of this special model as well.

The Brabus B63S-700 performance kit, which is also available for all other current Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG SUVs, unleashes the inherent power slumbering in the turbocharged V8 engine. To realize the enormous power increase by 115 kW / 156 hp (154 bhp) the peripherals of the V8 are modified extensively.

The production turbochargers are replaced by two special Brabus turbochargers with larger compressor unit, which produce a higher boost pressure. Brabus Gold Heat Reflection sheathing for the intake and charge-air pipes further lower the charge-air temperature. This measure contributes equally to the power yield and to the flawless durability, which also manifests itself in the Brabus Tuning Warranty of three years, up to 100,000 kilometers/62,000 miles (see Brabus Warranty Terms and Conditions, updated July 2013) that is unparalleled in the industry.

Special high-performance metal catalysts with 75-mm (2.9 in.) downpipes are installed to lower the back pressure. The stainless-steel sport exhaust system with controlled butterfly valve was custom-developed for the G63 6x6 AMG and offers both optimized power yield and active control of the exhaust note. Drivers can select at the push of a button between the subtle "Coming Home" mode and a markedly potent exhaust note in the "Sport" position. The Brabus exhaust system also puts its visual stamp on both sides of the vehicles with two striking dual sidepipes.

Specially calibrated Brabus mapping for the engine management system coordinates the perfect interaction of all high-performance components while also ensuring compliance with the stringent Euro V emission standards.

With these major modifications the B63S-700 engine, which is also available for the G63 AMG 4x4 model, produces 515 kW / 700 hp (690 bhp) at a low 5,300 rpm. The Brabus engine also delivers a much heftier torque: between 2,000 rpm and 4,500 rpm the engine sends a massive 960 Nm (708 lb-ft) of torque instead of the standard 760 Nm (561 lb-ft) to the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission. This is complemented by special Brabus aluminum shift paddles that facilitate manual gearshifts from the multifunction steering wheel of the G-Class. The high-tech lubricants for the entire powertrain are supplied by technology partner Motul.

The equipped the six-wheeled heavyweight turns in an acceleration performance that can measure up to full-blooded sports cars. 7.4 seconds for 0 - 100 km/h (62 mph) are absolute tops for a vehicle weighing in at just less than four tons. The heavy-duty off-road tires the 6x6 is equipped with necessitate limiting the top speed to 160 km/h (100 mph).

Brabus also gives the 6x6 a strategic visual upgrade. The imposing nature of the front is further strengthened by purposeful modifications. The Brabus front spoiler edges attach to the production fascia and are combined with an additional molding below the special radiator grille with integrated Brabus logo. The Brabus carbon-fiber hood scoop adds another striking highlight. The mirror-polished Brabus underride guard provides an interesting contrast to the all-black paintwork.

Other focus of the Brabus refinement for the mightiest G model ever is in the cockpit. The company upholstery shop meticulously crafted an exclusive Brabus fine leather ambiance from a combination of fiery red and black leather and Alcantara.

The great love of detail and the quality of the upholsterers' craftsmanship is evident in the pinpoint precision of the topstitching of the leather floor and the headliner. The passengers are welcomed by stainless-steel scuff plates with backlit Brabus logo. The Brabus interior designers add some pronounced accents with aluminum components such as pedals and door-lock pins.

Brabus 800 Roadster, 2013

 

 

 

•  Brabus 800 Roadster, 2013

Based on the Mercedes SL65 AMG - Brabus builds the world's most powerful roadster. The two-seater is powered by a 12-cylinder Biturbo engine uprated by Brabus T65 RS tuning. It produces 588 kW / 800 hp (788 bhp) of power and a peak torque of 1,420 Nm. A sprint time of 3.7 seconds from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) and of 9.8 seconds to 200 km/h (124 mph) are impressive testaments to the car's special status that is further bolstered by an electronically limited top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph). The exclusive equipment features also include Brabus carbon-fiber bodywork components designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, custom-tailored Brabus wheels with diameters up to 20 inches and exclusive options for the cockpit.

Brabus T65 RS tuning unleashes the latent power reserves of the six-liter V12 engine. To this end, the Brabus engine professionals have developed a Brabus high-tech Biturbo system with custom high-performance manifolds that feature integrated turbine housings and high-performance turbochargers. The tuning also includes four water-to-air intercoolers, housed in space provided by the Brabus carbon-fiber hood scoop. Another custom development for the SL65 power upgrade is the special Brabus stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system. It features free-flow metal catalysts and ceramic-coated tailpipes with distinctive Brabus design. An integrated butterfly valve in the exhaust provides an active sound management on the steering wheel: at the push of a button the driver can chose between a discrete "coming home" and a markedly sporty exhaust note.

The newly calibrated engine electronics complete with high-performance mapping for injection and ignition coordinate the perfect interaction of the high-end components while also ensuring compliance with Euro V emission standards. The high-tech lubricants for the entire powertrain are supplied by technology partner Motul.

The Brabus T65 RS engine produces 588 kW / 800 hp (788 bhp) of power at 5,500 rpm and an even more impressive peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft), available from a low 2,100 rpm. In the car, peak torque is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).

In conjunction with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC transmission, whose gears can be shifted automatically or manually with the Brabus aluminum shift paddles on the steering wheel, the Brabus 800 Roadster rises to the become the most powerful of its kind. From rest the sports car weighing in at about two metric tons (2.2 tons) sprints to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.7 seconds. The two-door car reaches a speed of 200 km/h (124 mph) after just 9.8 seconds. Top speed is limited electronically to 350 km/h (217 mph).

To master these enormous speeds at all times, a Brabus aerodynamic-enhancement kit for the SL 65 was developed in the wind tunnel. All components are manufactured from carbon fibers and are available either with a matt or high-gloss surface finish. It goes without saying; they can also be painted in the car's exterior color.

The Brabus front spoiler attaches to the lower section of the bumper. It lends the roadster a more sporty appearance and reduces lift on the front axle. Brabus covers for the side air vents round out the striking front for the SL65 AMG.

The sides are refined with custom-tailored attachments for the air vents integrated into the front fenders and with rocker panels.

To achieve an optimal aerodynamic balance, the rear section is upgraded with a diffuser insert for the fascia.

As an alternative to the 19-inch stock tires of the SL 65, the Brabus suspension engineers have developed an exclusive 20-inch high-tech variant. The new Brabus Monoblock R "Platinum Edition" forged wheel offers the perfect symbiosis of lightweight construction and maximum strength thanks to state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. In addition to the innovative construction, this wheel design also offers unique looks with ten double spokes arranged in two matt titanium and fully polished planes. The front axle is fitted with wheels in size 9Jx20 shod with size 255/30 ZR 20 tires. In the rear, tires in size 305/25 ZR 20 mounted on size 10.5Jx20 wheels transfer the Brabus 800 Roadster's power of 800 horses to the asphalt. Brabus recommends high-performance tires from Continental, Pirelli and YOKOHAMA.

To give the two-seater even more agile handling, Brabus developed a special control module for the ABC suspension of the SL65 AMG. It lowers the ride height by about 25 millimeters (1.0 inches).

The Brabus limited-slip rear differential with a locking rate of 40 percent can enhance handling performance further still.

Brabus adds even more luxury and custom features to the two-seat interior upon request as well. The product portfolio ranges from scuff plates with backlit Brabus logo and a speedometer with 360-km/h dial (220 mph) to carbon-fiber and wood trim sets in any color imaginable and with a variety of surface finishes.

The company upholstery shop crafts exquisite Brabus interiors from especially soft yet durable Brabus Mastik leather and Alcantara. A prime example for the precision craftsmanship is the leather-clad trunk of the show car at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show that features meticulous and precise honeycomb stitching throughout.

Brabus B63-620 Widestar, 2013

 

 

•  Brabus B63-620 Widestar, 2013

The Brabus B63-620 Widestar is the new exclusive power off-roader based on the latest Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG. Powered by a 5.5-liter V8 Biturbo engine that produces 456.3 kW / 620 hp (611 bhp) of power, the all-wheel-drive car accelerates from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 5.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph). Visually the power off-roader impresses with its striking Widestar wide-body version and its 23-inch Brabus "Platinum Edition" Monoblock E, F or R forged wheels. The Brabus Dynamic Ride Control suspension offers a perfect symbiosis of outstanding ride comfort and dynamic handling. Exclusive interior options round out the product program for the latest evolution of the Mercedes G-Class.

Brabus offers the world's most extensive engine tuning program for Mercedes-Benz automobiles - all covered by the one-of-a-kind Brabus tuning warranty of three years, up to 100,000 kilometers / 62,000 miles. For the new Mercedes G 63 AMG the Brabus engine specialists developed the B63-620 performance kit, which is also available in custom versions for all other AMG 63 models powered by a Biturbo eight-cylinder engine.

At the heart of the conversion is the Brabus B63-620 PowerXtra module, which is integrated into the engine electronics as a plug-and-play device. Moderately increasing boost pressure and recalibrating the mapping for ignition and injection results in a bump in power output from standard 400 kW / 544 hp (536 bhp) to 456.3 kW / 620 hp (611 bhp) at a low 5,750 rpm. Peak torque grows simultaneously from 760 to 820 Nm (560 to 604 lb-ft), available on a plateau between 2,000 and 5,000 rpm.

With Brabus B63-620 tuning, which is available for the Mercedes G 63 AMG starting at 5,900 euros, the sprint time for 0-100 km/h (62 mph) is shortened to 5.1 seconds. The top speed is limited electronically to 210 or 230 km/h (130 or 143 mph). The high-tech lubricants for the entire powertrain come from technology partner Motul.

The ideal complement to the engine tuning for the G 63 AMG is a fully stainless-steel Brabus sport exhaust system with butterfly valve. At the push of a button on the steering wheel the driver can choose between driving the V8 in the quiet "Coming Home" mode and enjoying a markedly sporty exhaust note in "Sport" mode. Two tailpipes on either side, exiting in front of the rear wheels and with either a standard or black chrome finish, also add some visual pizzazz.

Brabus upgrades the multifunction steering wheel of the G-Class optionally with aluminum shift paddles that allow the driver to shift gears manually just like in Formula One racing.

The looks of the new Brabus B63-620 Widestar are far from ordinary as well. The Brabus designers have styled a thrilling Widestar wide-body version specifically for the facelift generation of the G-Class.

The powerfully shaped fender flares add twelve centimeters (five inches) to the width of the body and thanks to integrated vents they optimize the ventilation of the wheel wells. The strikingly styled Brabus fender attachments, which continue on the front doors, lend the off-roader also a side view with high recognition value. The LED lights integrated into the front and rear Widestar fenders illuminate the stainless-steel running boards when a door handle is pulled or the remote is operated. The cross-braces in the fenders light up at the same time.

The fender flares also create space for extremely large wheels and tires. Brabus offers owners of the wide-body version, which is available for all latest five-door G-Class models, a wide range of custom-tailored tire/wheel combinations with diameters from 20 to 23 inches. The most exclusive option features 23-inch forged Brabus wheels that represent a perfect symbiosis of lightweight design and enormous strength. In addition to the two popular designs Monoblock E evo "Platinum Edition" and Monoblock F "Platinum Edition," the 11Jx23 wheels are now also available in the new Brabus Monoblock R design, which documents its high-tech nature with an integrated "Platinum Edition" badge and nine double spokes arranged in two plains of which one is fully polished and the other painted a matt titanium color. The size 305/35 R 23 high-performance tires come from Brabus technology partners Continental, Pirelli or Yokohama.

The Brabus front spoiler attaches to the production fascia and characterizes the front of the off-roader, among other things, with its integrated LED lights. The Brabus signets integrated on both sides light up when a door handle is pulled. An additional panel below the radiator grille too contributes to the widened G's enhanced passing clout. There is also a special insert with integrated Brabus logo for the front grille. The Brabus components for the front are also available for all G 63 AMG models without Widestar conversion.

The powerful design idiom of the Brabus Widestar wide-body version with stylized underride guard continues on the rear fascia. In addition to a central reflector, the Widestar bumper has a fog lamp and a backup light embedded on each side. The Station Wagon model can be further upgraded with a Brabus roof spoiler.

The Brabus B63-620 Widestar is equipped with the innovative Brabus Ride Control suspension that offers a perfect symbiosis of outstanding ride comfort and safe, sporty handling. It is available for all G-Class models. The Brabus high-tech suspension system, developed together with technology partner Bilstein, features two-way adjustable shock absorbers at all four corners.

The blue-backlit aluminum button sporting the Brabus logo in the center console lets the driver manually choose between two setups: In comfort position the off-roader delivers exemplary ride comfort. At higher speeds and when driven in spirited fashion choosing the firmer sport setup provides more dynamic handling and even further increased safety reserves.

The Brabus Ride Control suspension also features automatic damper adjustment. If the vehicle sensors detect that certain parameters such as speed, lateral acceleration and steering angle might lead to a critical handling situation during spirited driving, the system automatically switches to the firmer sport setup within milliseconds. The sportier damper setup further increases the directional stability of the all-wheel-drive car. In return, the CAN controller also recognizes when the driver reverts to a more moderate driving style. The system then switches the shock absorbers back to the comfort position.

The cockpit can likewise be customized and refined. The passengers are welcomed by stainless-steel scuff plates with backlit Brabus logo. Other appealing accessories such as high-quality velour floor mats and Brabus aluminum pedals and door-lock pins are also available.

The Brabus interior can be custom-tailored to each owner's individual preferences with especially soft and breathable Brabus Mastik leather or Alcantara in a multitude of colors. Customers have equally unlimited choices in the upholstery design and the wood inlays. Upon request the latter can be ordered in any desired color, even including an especially exclusive yachting-design finish.

Brabus Ultimate 120, 2012

 

 

 

 

 Brabus Ultimate 120, 2012

Highly exclusive and equally dynamic limited-edition city sports cars have a long, successful history at Brabus. Reason enough for Brabus to celebrate yet another world debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show: based on the latest evolution of the smart fortwo cabrio there is now a successor to the sold-out limited-edition models Ultimate 101, Ultimate 112, Ultimate R and Ultimate style - the Brabus Ultimate 120. As the name indicates, this drop-top two-seater car is a supercar with 120 hp (118 bhp) / 88.3 kW and a top speed of 170 km/h (112 mph), which will be built in a small-series production run limited to just 120 consecutively numbered cars. The exclusive appointments range from a special paint finish as per customer specification to the WIDESTAR wide-body version with forged Brabus Monoblock F 18-inch wheels and an all-leather interior. MSRP for a Brabus Ultimate 120 starts at EUR 45,900.

In addition to the special paint finish, which on the car at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show is an intense metallic red, the Ultimate 120 immediately catches the eye with its muscular Brabus WIDESTAR body kit with front spoiler, side sills and Brabus WIDESTAR fender flares front and back.

The large wheel wells offers space for a tire/wheel combination that is highly unusual in this vehicle class and design: the new Brabus Monoblock F "Platinum Edition" forged wheels are mounted on the front axle in size 7Jx18 with size 205/35 R 18 high-performance tires. Size 8.5Jx18 wheels with size 235/30 R 18 tires in the rear provide plenty of grip for transferring the power of 120 horses to the asphalt with no slip.

The height-adjustable Brabus coilover suspension is custom-calibrated to the ultra-low-profile tires and the wider track. It combines direct and safe handling with excellent ride comfort. A Brabus high-performance brake system with cross-drilled discs and four-piston fixed calipers painted in body color on the front axle provides enormous stopping power and maximum durability.

This makes the Ultimate 120 perfectly suited for the installation of the powerful Brabus three-cylinder turbocharged engine. In keeping with its name, the Ultimate city sports car keeps a maximum power output of 120 hp (118 bhp) / 88.3 kW at 6,000 rpm on tap for its driver. However, even more important in day-to-day operation is the peak torque of 160 Nm (118 lb-ft), available between 2,250 and 3,750 rpm, and unparalleled in this vehicle class.

Gears in the Brabus Ultimate 120 are shifted either automatically or similar to Formula 1 racing manually with shift paddles on the ergonomically shaped Brabus steering wheel that has a diameter of just 34 centimeters (13.4 inches).

With a sprint time of 8.9 seconds for 0 - 100 km/h (62 mph) and an electronically limited top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph) the convertible also sets new class standards in these disciplines.

The performance is accompanied acoustically by the Brabus stainless-steel sport exhaust system with two chrome-plated tailpipes.

The Ultimate 120 also features a number of exquisite interior highlights: the entire interior is clad in especially soft and breathable black Brabus Mastik leather with red contrasting seams that match the outer skin. For perfect lateral support during fast cornering the city sports car is equipped with Recaro Sportster seats. These also are wrapped in the finest Brabus leather and their seat shells are painted in the same color as the car's exterior.

Numerous other details such as the speedometer, tach and clock including the instrument bezels, dashboard molding, turn signal stalks and door handles were also painted in body color. Brabus stainless-steel pedals as well as an aluminum shifter and emergency-brake lever create pure motor sports ambiance.

Air conditioning system, radio and navigation system are of course also part of the two-seat drop-top's standard equipment.
