Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren by Brabus

[TT]

As always, there will be somebody not happy enough with a stock SLR :roll:

The Brabus one has a new differential created especially for it. The engine thanks to some magic reaches 660 hp / 6500 rpm, the 0-100 km/h is achived in 3.6 sec and the top speed is 340 km/h.
Modified suspensions. Front lip and diffuser are in bare carbon fiber.
New interior too, with carbon, alcantar and leather. Different steering wheel with flat lower part.

Prize: 600'000 €, delivered by plane to your door, anywhere in the world.

well it was only a matter of time.....but I like it, the wheels are better then the stock ones IMO :D

[komotar]

wild thing, ta na na na na, you make my heart sing......

[pimrusis]

A new, metal interior might make that price tag worth it. And when you say "delivered by plane" do they do affix a parachute to it and have it land in your front yard?! That would be cool.

[TT]

Well with some extra I guess you can have some parachutes too :D

[abdul123]

I have this great mental image of an slr being pushed out the back of a hercules c130 and falling faster and faster..

then the parachute fails to open...

oooh what a disaster :mrgreen:

[TT]

Of course it would be priceless to be there and see the "happy" owner face when it would happen :D .. actually it could even crash directly into his home (or garage) to make things worse :P

[adamwich]

WOW - insane!

I like the new carbon interior - looks cool!

[T5]

:lol:

Even better than the original!Great car! :)

[COFair]

:) hey! i like it! Brabus, you're the best!

[MercedeSChink]

Amazing, but you know what!? I've been thinking for a long time to bring a merc to get the special treatment from one of these infamous tuners. The only downside is there's no fukin dealers for them anywhere around the toronto region!!! For christ sakes Brabus, Lorinser, Renntech or Kleemann!!! Please do something about it!!!!

[JiggaStyles09]

sweet car, i would get this over a regular SLR, i mean its a bit faster and i like the carbon fiber interior better too. looks great. :D

[loliea]

Very nice interior, muuuch better than the fade original.

Deliver by plane to my door? My neighbor is not going to be happy to know that...

[robruf]

this is a better looking car for sure, however for resale value the original SLR would be better, but I really like this car

[chest3r]

WOW!!! Very very nice!! :o :o :o :o I wasn't expecting too see an SLR tuned by Brabus. The wheels are very good ( as always ). The stock ones are nothing special IMO.
And the car seems lower. The stock one looks too high for a supercar, specially when it brakes.

I just don't like the bicolor interior :x :x :x

But I think is an excelent buy. A super exclusif version of an already exclusif car :o

[PATo355]

I like it , but its a little overpriced ,its just a little faster than the stock one

[twboy1999]

extra 200000 for like 50 hp more

what front lip?? looks same to me

[racer_f50]

the rims are certainly nice, but they didn't change the ugliest part of the car: the front end :P

[blah]

Brabus has gone mad again. First the Brabus Maybach now this. I should go down to Newport beach and see it.

[philios55]

Wow, never imagine anything like that will ever happen, modified a supercar with 626 bhp!!!! :shock:

[Just_me]

Its not hard to understand that the stock engine is very near it's limits of design.
660 vs 626 not a big difference andI take a stock SLR over this Brabus thing anyday.

I agree the SLR is a car that doesn't need to be tuned, even if I like Brabus.

[SilviaEvo]

a better idea of a drop landing is from a helicopter on the front lawn. imagine some heavy crosswinds :lol: :lol: :lol: but it seems its not worth the extra money i mean rims ans the exterior doesnt really look different neither does the interior and its just a bit faster

[MBW124]

Wow, I knew this was coming. Any word if Brabus has a tuned SLR in Newport Beach anyone?

[TT]

Dude, the SLR is launched in Geneva Motorshow this week, so definitely the answer is "no".

And BTW, the muffler isn't road legal in most countries LOL.. and as always I bet the most of the production (very limited obviously), will end up in Dubai and similar countries :D

[MBW124]

I meant if Brabus of NA will..not currently. sorry I wasn't being specific tt.

[budagboy2]

I think the changes look pretty sweet, rims look great :)

[sentra_dude]

The interior is definitely a huge improvement over the shitty stock interior, but overall these modifications are not worth the price...maybe if they threw in a conversion to a 6spd manual. 8)

[Chaos in 1983!]

I knew this was coming, but I don't thing it's worth it...I mean it's not that big of a difference from the stock one...

I'm surprised they didn't change the Merc badge for a Brabus one...

[findleybeast]

oooh what a disaster :mrgreen:

haha nothing like your house being bombed by your own 600,000 euro automobile :mrgreen:

the car does look great, tho that may be just cuz I think the SLR is gorgeous in black

[Evo]

Amazing, but you know what!? I've been thinking for a long time to bring a merc to get the special treatment from one of these infamous tuners.

Be cleaver and you be a dealer in your area.. :D

[acs power]

I was wondering how the weight changed after it was tuned...

[cho_888]

this is such an agressive looking car!!! it looks like it could cut you in half. I am not a big brabus fan but this is fantastic

[mv]

Wow, never imagine anything like that will ever happen, modified a supercar with 626 bhp!!!! :shock:

It doesn't really surprise me as there have been some rumours about both an exhaust and a power kit straight from the factory and since nothing of that kind has come Brabus has probably decided to make it on its own.

[E 55]

stuuuuuuuuuning :D i like it

[davide]

Well that's just insane... 660 bhp :D :D :D

[raphaelws]

8) yeah!!
fantastic

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

Jesus....the Brabus staff are able to make cars or monsters above even a car enthusiasts imagination, i did never realise that Brabus was able to improve even the SLR.......Its not an exagerated idea if brabus creates a CLK-DTM Brabus as the next car modification as Dani stated

[jon_s]

God I love Brabus!

Those wheels are fantastic!

[stelittler]

Brabus as always: doing what McLaren and Mercedes couldn't. It looks completely awesome - like all Brabi, great alloys. Please can I have a job at brabus - it must be so much fun! :D

[ARMAN]

just going to start this thread then saw this.

here is more pics

Thanx DrijF360! Nice pics :o

[kksh]

Great car but not worth the extra price though. 44 bhp doesn't make much difference in this field of supercars.

Would be better if it went on a diet.

[DeMoN]

well it does look nice and black is the color to go on that car.. but damn, that thing having an AUTO gearbox ruins everything.

[04RCSTI]

very nice, but as someone said before me, it looks the same. and 50 more hp...
