Anything is possible....only your wallet holds you back



This is the Brabus SLS 700 Biturbo Roadster



Belgian car website Autofans.be managed to get two pictures of the upcoming Brabus SLS 700 Biturbo Roadster, which will be revealed tomorrow at the Essen Motor Show 2011. The roofless SLS follows the release of the tuned coupe at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in March.

The Germans fitted a similar setup to the SLS AMG Roadster as they did on the Gullwing. This means you will be able to get 700hp at 6,600rpm and a peak torque of 850Nm at 4,300rpm, which gives the car enough power to reach a top speed of 340km/h. To achieve this, Brabus have used custom-developed twin-turbochargers fitted with air diverter valves. What’s more, these turbochargers both rotate different ways; the left side turning left of the engine and the right side turning right.

The front fascia of the coupe has the new Brabus front spoiler. The spoiler further reduces lift on the front axle at high speeds. The two Brabus covers for the upper air inlets in the bumper lend provide better cooling air supply. The rear appearance of the Mercedes SLS AMG has the Brabus rear spoiler and the Brabus rear fascia element that features custom-tailored cutouts for the four exhaust tips of the Brabus sport exhaust system. All components are available either made from clear-coated carbon fiber for a true racing flair or can be painted to match or contrast with the car’s exterior color.


Forged wheels are custom-developed for the SLS. You can choose for a staggered tire/wheel combination with diameters of 20 inches in front and 21 inches on the rear axle. The ultra-light Brabus Monoblock F Platinum Edition cross-spoke wheels are up to twelve percent lighter than the stock wheels and are mounted in size 9.5Jx20 in front and in size 11Jx21 on the rear axle. The wide high-performance tires in sizes 275/30 ZR 20 and 295/25 ZR 21 are supplied by Pirelli and Yokohama.

We also expect to see a height-adjustable Brabus smooth-ride suspension and a speedometer with 400km/h scale (250 mph) fitted to the sports car from Stuttgart. An ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel is also part of the Brabus customization program as are stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated Brabus logo and matteanodized pedals.

$3x on wheels. I would not Munda having this in 500 hp it looks so awesome.
Although the overall shape from the back reminds me of prowler.

If I want to turbo my C63 it would only take me like $3000-$4000 from Squire turbo systems. They have single universal ball bearing turboskit twin turbo applications for much much less. Their single rear mounted turbo its just about any car in the world.

It just not known by 99.999999% of the Mercedes owners but it is a popular kit

I think that the problem with installing a kit like that is making your ecu work properly. If yo don't get a kit that was designed for your car like kleemann has it will take another 3 grand to get the tune to work. It's not like rice rockets in the 90s just forse air and forget about it.

^^ I know what you mean. Is just a path that no one has done it but realistically it just takes a good tuner and a good tune. These kits only blow 5-6 psi though. They normally don't come with an intercooler but if you add the intercooler you are adding more to the cost of course.

People usually dont do the STS kit because no one really wants to deal with 10 seconds of turbo lag....

It's not really "responsive" when you run 8 feet of tube from the back of the car to the front and expect to get somewhat instant throttle response.

I've seen the guys on HorsePower TV install that kit on a Vette a long time ago and pull some big numbers. But 600 hp really doesn't matter when you're waiting half a day for the boost to kick in....

just sayin

C63newdude

^^^Actually, I thought the same way but found out that the lag is minimal. The big displacement takes care of that. Wath anyof the videos online on youtube, the turbolag is almost unnoticable..

700 HP isn't too impressive.. Supercharged SLS' at 730 HP are wiping the floor with everything they can find on Gustav's channel

Ok the benchmark has been set

Just a note to everyone who is thinking of going FI. make sure your fuel system is up to the task. fuel pump/injectors. You don't want to lean out and have it detonate. Also an intercooler is pretty much required for all turbo applications or else you just end up blowing hot air into the intake.

You think so? lol
