A stylish package for the new-generation Mercedes SL is an example of the fine work consistently turned out by the German powerhouse BRABUS. With a range of upgrades including a new front apron, side skirts, rear apron and 20-inch wheels, BRABUS has managed to successfully infuse a slightly more assertive character into the redesigned model without sacrificing its original, overall feel.
Of course, if you opt for one of the BRABUS performance packages – such as the S V12 S package for one of the V12 SL variants – the incredible amount of power at your disposal will speak for itself. Although BRABUS has yet to release the official details for the 2009 variants, for the previous SL, the S V12 S package increased output to 730 hp / 537 kW and and 1,350 Nm or torque, enough to propel the model from 0-62 mph in 4.0 seconds and reach a top speed of 217 mph.
If that’s not Mercedes tuning at its finest, I don’t know what is.
