Bring AMG and Mercedes-Benz together and you get the most powerful lineup of Mercedes cars ever produced. Then add a bit of flavor from a tuner near Bottrop, Germany, and you get even more performance, speed and challenging improvements to the looks of any type of sports car they get their hands on. Now take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, a modern redesign of the classic 1955 300SL coupe, and there it is; the Brabus SLS AMG.

Brabus is Mercedes’ official tuner and has an extensive history of upgrading Mercedes-Benz sports cars, running the AMG badge. One of their latest project is the SLS AMG, available in two versions the SLS AMG with a subtle performance upgrade, discussed here, and the SLS AMG 700 Biturbo, fitted with an additional custom-developed twin-turbocharger fitted with air diverter valves producing up to 700hp and 850Nm of torque. What’s more, these turbochargers both rotate different ways; the left side turning left of the engine and the right side turning right.

With the biturbo package not yet available for drive tests, we were handed the keys to a Le Mans Red SLS AMG packed with every single option on the available list. Parked outside on the Brabus parking lot and awaiting our arrival, we reached for the left door handle situated low down, pulled it and let the door rise easily and lightly above our head. With the door open, we ducked under it and stepped into the sports car, ready for a drive in this bolder looking Gullwing re-birth.

Sex on Wheels!!!

The Exhaust is amazing, fully titanium and when the valves open hell breaks loose (heard one in person).

 

Love that sound! Not too keen on the aero bits, but the exhaust works for me!

 

That sounds so mean. It'll definitely piss off some neighbors!

 

Nice job mates.
