Brabus 800 based on the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600

For years, the Brabus has been considered the best in upgrading Mercedes models. This has also been demonstrated by improving the performance of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600.

The Brabus 800, as it is called, is equipped with high-quality carbon elements. This includes a new BRABUS front grille, rear diffuser, air suspension that brings the car closer to the ground by an additional 25 millimeters. It rides on reinforced 24-inch Monoblock M Platinum Edition alloy wheels with Continental SportContact 6 295/35 (front) and 335/30 (rear) tires.

Inside, the seats, trim elements and the foot wells are upholstered in Leonis-Orange leather. There are also aluminum pedals, as well as many carbon elements around the dashboard and door panels. At the rear of the cabin there are two adjustable, ventilated and heated single seats. For a better atmosphere there is a backlit BRABUS logo, which changes color in sync with the ambient lighting.

Under the hood is a 4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 800 hp (588 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 4.5 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph (300 km / h).

The three-pointed star has been removed from the vehicle, but there is no doubt that the sporty Brabus 800 SUV will leave anyone indifferent.

Every year, in the United States, an event is held where unusual cars are presented. At this year’s SEMA Show, the attention of visitors was drawn to the Porsche 911 (964) with a Tesla engine.

The electrified Porsche 911 is the work of the Electric GT company. The car is equipped with larger wheel arches, a new bonnet, a new front hood, rear spoiler, and Hoosier A1 tires mounted on a set of black wheels.

It is powered by a Tesla electric motor with 436 hp (321 kW) and 331 lb-ft (448 Nm) of torque. The engine is equipped with a 47 kWh battery that, when fully charged, provides a range of 160 miles (257 kilometers). The battery can be charged up to 85 percent via a 6.6 kW charger in just 45 minutes.

The price of this equipment kit is $ 55,000. This amount does not include the price of the Porsche 911 (964) model.
