BRABUS S V12 Engine

Press Release

SL 600 Biturbo - BRABUS S V12 Program Form and function at the highest levels of perfection: The BRABUS aerodynamic-enhancement parts for all current SL models offer sporty yet elegant looks and improved aerodynamic properties. At high speeds they further reduce lift on the front axle thus further improving directional stability. The BRABUS front apron from high-quality Pur-R-Rim with four auxiliary headlights was designed to be fastened to the original mounting points, making an exchange for the production bumper fast and easy. The BRABUS side sills create an especially aerodynamic transition between the wheelhouses and on top of that offer another feature that is as exciting as it is useful: Pushing a button on the remote control of the keyless-entry system or pulling on the inside door handle activates four LED lights on the underside of each sill. They illuminate the ground next to the vehicle, avoiding many unfortunate steps into puddles or holes that may lurk in the dark. The BRABUS designer suit for the new SL is rounded out by the BRABUS rear apron with integrated diffuser. It was also designed to replace its production counterpart seamlessly. Just as important for a customized look are one-piece and multi-piece BRABUS Monoblock light-alloy wheels, which can be mounted on the new roadster in three different designs and sizes (18-, 19- and 20-inch). The largest version for the new SL combines multi-piece BRABUS Monoblock VI wheels in sizes 9Jx20 in front and 255/35 ZR 20 tires with 10.5Jx20 wheels and 305/25 ZR 20 tires on the rear axle. To further improve the already impressive handling of the current SL roadster BRABUS developed an electronic module for the ABC suspension, which lowers the vehicle's body by about 15 millimeters. The BRABUS high-performance brake system with ventilated and perforated super-size 375 x 36 mm disks and 12-piston fixed calipers in front, and ventilated and perforated 355 x 28 mm disks and six-piston fixed calipers on the rear axle easily handles even the most extreme stress. Luxurious and highly individualized interiors are yet another BRABUS specialty. The range of exclusive accessories includes sill plates made from genuine carbon with illuminated BRABUS logo, ergonomically shaped safety steering wheels with airbag and heated rim, a speedometer with 360 km/h scale and genuine carbon interior trim. BRABUS also offers the integration of a DVD changer to upgrade the COMAND system. In addition the company-own upholstery shop creates exclusive BRABUS interiors from a combination of especially soft yet highly durable BRABUS Mastik and Alcantara leathers.
