By itself, the Mercedes Benz SLS is already a superb automobile, as
close to perfection that a sports car can possibly achieve. But in the
hands of tuner company Brabus, they have elevated the already high
standards of this car to another level.
So what makes the 2011 Brabus Mercedes Benz SLS Roadster special?
Design
Hanging on to their reputation for “style and performance”, Brabus
has gone on to transform the SLS convertible into their definition of
the ultimate SLS. The aerodynamic kit that Brabus used for the SLS used
for the coupe is modified to adapt to the convertible’s different
aerodynamic characteristics. As usual, the aerodynamic parts are made of
carbon fiber, on par with what’s used on race cars.
If that doesn’t sound lightweight enough, custom made 21 inch Brabus
forged wheels further saves weight from the body. Brabus developed a
suspension in partnership with Bilstein, provides a perfect compromise
between razor sharp handling on the track and proper shock absorbing on
the road. A front lift system allows the front to be raised to avoid
obstacles such as speed humps to avoid damage.
Performance
Then Brabus proceeded to modifying the engine with their B63 S Tuning
Kit. Featuring new ECU settings and a high performance exhaust system
that is enough to raise the output of the SLS engine into 611
horsepower, which is not a small amount in any stretch of the
imagination.
Combine all that with a fully customizable high quality interior, and
you get the 2011 Brabus Mercedes Benz SLS Roadster, a car that is
special in almost every single way.
