The tuning pros at Brabus have customized the Mercedes SLS AMG with a wide-body version called the Widestar. Modifications include a new carbon fiber body kit consisting of a front spoiler, rear spoiler, and rear diffuser, along with wider body panels and fenders featuring air intakes and side outlets. The rear was widened 20 mm from these customizations, and Brabus added some lightweight wheels next. Their Monoblock F Platinum Edition rims to be exact, measuring 20×9.5 in the front, and 21×11 at the rear. They come wrapped in either Pirelli or Yokohama high performance tires, and the wheels are available in a brushed design or ceramics polished surface, as well as any color of your choice.

The Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series is already an impressive car, but the Brabus tuning company had to modify it even further for a customer in Dubai. Calling it the Vanish, Brabus hooked up the Mercedes SL65 with larger turbos, huge brakes, a new transmission, matte black wrap, and a strange plastic piece on the hood to push 800 horsepower. The tuned Mercedes SL65 AMG features the 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 all concealed inside the complete carbon fiber body that shaved off a whopping 551 pounds. This raised the top speed to 199 mph, accomplished a 0-60 time in the three second range, but sadly only 350 will ever be made.

Here we have the latest Mercedes E-Class Cabrio project from the famous tuning company Brabus, who hooked it up with several upgrades. At the exterior level, the car received a new styling package to improve aerodynamics and strengthen the vehicle with Pur-R-Rim plastic technology. Included in the kit is a new front spoiler with integrated LED daytime running lights, new fenders, rear valance, and a new rear spoiler. The elegant Mercedes E-Class exterior was enhanced further with one-piece or multi-piece Brabus monoblock alloy wheels available in either 17″, 18″, or 19″ sizes. Customers have the option of any wheel and tire combination, which include Pirelli or Yokohama high performance tires.

Here we have a Brabus car released at the Geneva Auto Show, based off the Mercedes E-Class Coupe, and hiding a powerful V12 motor under the hood. They’re calling it the “Brabus E V12 Coupe,” but the tuners did more than just engine modifications. At the exterior level, the Mercedes coupe features a carbon fiber body kit consisting of a new front spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser, and air vents in the front to reduce lifting forces. Several other exterior upgrades to the E-Class coupe include LED daytime running lights, a new adjustable coilover suspension kit, and underneath the 19-inch wheels, a high performance braking system. Be ready to hand over a ton of paper for this job however, since Brabus tuning doesn’t come cheap under the hood.

This isn’t the prettiest Mercedes GLK we’ve seen, but it does hold the title for being the fastest SUV in the world, custom tuned by Brabus. First off, Brabus swapped the factory engine with one of Mercedes V12 power plants to claim a whopping 211 mph top speed. The new V12 under the hood was increased from 5.5-liters to 6.3-liters, and then Brabus hooked it up with two turbochargers, two intercoolers, and a large stainless steel exhaust system with high flowing catalytic converters. Showing off typical Brabus performance numbers, the modified Mercedes GLK boasts 740 hp and 995 ft lbs of torque.
