Although only a month have passed since the launch of the facelifted Mercedes SL-Class, Brabus unveiled its latest body kit for the latest coupe cabriolet from the German manufacturer: the R230. The new body kit features a two-piece 20” forged Monoblock VI alloy wheels, a completely new front bumper and re-designed rear diffuser which includes an upgraded exhaust system. Another premiere would be also the daytime running lights which include the LED technology.
Brabus did not reveal any technical specs, but if we look at the 730 hp V12 engine of the previous Brabus SL that was able to hit 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds and had a top speed limited to 350 km/h, the performances of the new vehicle will be way better than these.
Due to the recently launch of the face-lifted Mercedes SLK, Brabus unveiled its new version of the little coupe cabriolet. Powered by a 6.1 liter V8 engine capable of delivering 445 hp the car can sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds while the top speed is of 305 km/h.
For the updated SLK Brabus offers various alloy wheels with diameters of 17, 18 and 19 inches. The vehicle features specially calibrated suspensions, lowering the car by 30 millimeters in order to make the car more stable at high speeds.
On the inside, the German tuner offers highly polished stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated Brabus logo, Mastik leather and Alcantara and a special designed speedometer with 330 km/h dial.
As usual, Brabus bring nice and clean style with unrestricted top speed.
