The Brabus-tuned Mercedes-AMG GT S.
Brabus recently unveiled its new project involving the 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S. The famous German tuner specializing in autos bearing the three-pointed star marque gave the car a significant boost in its power as well as a few visual enhancements.
The Mercedes-AMG GT S already packs quite a kick in its 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine. To be exact, it is packing 503 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. Mated with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox with manual shifting mode and fitted with a light armor, it is capable of building speed from zero to 62 mph in only 3.8 seconds. Furthermore, its top speed can go up to 193 mph.
The new package of Brabus called the Brabus 600 takes the Mercedes-AMG GT S to another level though. Through the mere reconfiguration of the sports car’s ECU, its power is increased to 600 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. The cranked up numbers cut its acceleration from zero to 62 mph to 3.6 seconds while its top speed is raised to 201 mph.
In addition to the engine upgrade, the Brabus 600 offers a new set of wheels. The package includes 20-inch wheels in front and 21-inch wheels at the back. Moreover, it gets a new suspension plus a titanium exhaust system that allows the driver to control the exhaust volume of the car. Other add-ons are the new front splitter, intakes, side skirts, and diffuser.
It does not end there. Brabus refreshed the comfort and appeal of the GT S interior with its signature high-end leather covers for the seats, floor mats, as well as customized shifters and foot pedals made from aluminum.
The pricing of the package is yet to be revealed. But for those who want to see the car in the flesh, it will be making an appearance at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show next week.
