Dark Horse: Meet the Brabus 800 Roadster

German tuner BRABUS has just released its latest offering: the BRABUS 800 Roadster, based on the Mercedes-Benz SL 65AMG. True to its name, the car, which will be shown off at the Geneva auto show next week, gets to 800 horsepower thanks to its BRABUS-tuned 12-cylinder bi-turbo 6.0-liter V12 engine.

The BRABUS T65 RS tuning allows the engine to reach optimum performance. The engine contains specially developed high-performance manifolds, with high-perf turbochargers and integrated turbine housings. In addition, there are four intercoolers.

The Most EXTREME Mercedes SLK in the World

The Most EXTREME Mercedes SLK in the World

In Guangzhou City, which is located in the Guandong Province of China, you will find one of the most extreme makeovers ever done to a Mercedes-Benz car. Though it is no longer noticeable, the car used is a Mercedes-Benz R171 SLK.

Many say that the design is a hybrid of a car and a fighter jet. But for me, it’s more like a superhero express which is designed to match the futuristic features of the current Batmobile.

Big Black Truck: Meet the G500 XXL

Big Black Truck: Meet the G500 XXL

They call it the G500 XXL. It’s over 20 feet of lifted, stretched, flat black, unfiltered awesome that runs on dragon blood as fuel and jets flame from the exhaust. At least, it looks like it does. Even when empty, it still manages to weight well over three tons. Basically, this is the baddest G-Class […] More »

Chrome and Copper: Joe Dales ’69 Steampunk Benz

Chrome and Copper: Joe Dales ’69 Steampunk Benz

Photos: Kevin Trower @ StanceWorks Studs, rivets, copper and brass. These are not typically the types of materials we think about when talking about Mercedes. A plane? Sure. A tank? Yeah, alright. But Mercedes? That’s a name synonymous with high technology. Composite materials. Aluminium alloy. You’d be right too, at least when talking about a […] More »

Brabus Gets Started on the 2013 A-Class

Brabus Gets Started on the 2013 A-Class

Brabus is best known for turning mild-mannered Mercedes into brutally powerful road cars. So it’s with a quizzical eye that we look on their latest work: the Brabus A-Class. To be fair, Brabus is deals in all Mercedes. It’s just that we’re used to seeing the fire breathing torque monsters that haunt the dreams of […] More »

A Stretched Brabus G-Class? Only In Monaco.

A Stretched Brabus G-Class? Only In Monaco.

Captured recently on tape is this extended Mercedes-Benz G55. Enhanced by Brabus, it features revised headlights, bumpers and chrome trim. Done in black with black tint, it looks like a limousine that has the guts to go anywhere. And even though it’s powered by a 6.3-liter V8 in this case, one cannot expect any G-Class, with its barn-like aerodynamics, to get up and go. But that large engine will be put to good use in this particular vehicle, as you’d have to be cross-eyed not… Continue Reading &#187
