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.

The new W212 Mercedes E-Class will arrive on the market in 2010 and well known tuner Brabus already revealed an exclusive tuning package for the new Mercedes. Their designers developed an aerodynamic kit made from Pur-R-Rim plastics that will add a sportier look to the car with striking lines. The new body kit consists of a front apron with a sophisticated shape which reduces lift on the front axle and gives an aggressive face to this stylish sedan. It contains LED daytime running lights, auxiliary headlights and customers could choose between high beams or fog lamps too. Brabus installed aluminum front sport quart panels which will improve cooling and venting and add a sporty flair. The rocker panels will improve the airflow and also feature integrated LED entrance lights. The rear side of this Mercedes E-Class received a rear apron that houses a new sport exhaust with two chrome plated tailpipes on either sides and it also comes with a rear spoiler.

Brabus, the well known Mercedes specialist, has unveiled today at the Geneva Motor Show the new BRABUS Mercedes ML63 biturbo, based on the Mercedes AMG ML 63. Their modified car will set new standards for SUV performance and styling. Powered by a 6.3L V8 engine which delivers 650 HP, this ML could reach a top speed of 310 km/h and it has an incredible acceleration time for it’s size: just 4.2 seconds from 0 to 100. Engineers from Brabus spent almost two years to improve this car’s engine with twin turbochargers and the new system added over 140 HP. The twin turbo system also includes a large intercooler, a dual flow intake manifold and high performance free-flow metal catalysts. Only the high performance B63 Biturbo engine costs 69,800 Euros but it offers more power than any other SUV in the world.

Today we will reveal a major surprise from Brabus. The well known german tuner that modified a lot of cars from Mercedes recently released a tuning kit for an electric car, Tesla Roadster. Brabus focused only on exterior and interior modifications and hasn’t improved the car’s performances. This small electric car received a new aerodynamic kit, LED lights, 18″ alloy rims on the front side and 19″ rims on the rear side of the car. They also installed wide Pirelli P-Zero tires and the car is fully painted with white. I think it could use a Fukken Wax treatment to shine anywhere. In the car’s interior we find a lot leather insertions and alcantara. For those interested, this Tesla Roadster modified by Brabus could be admired at Essen Motor Show in the 1st week of december.
