Mercedes’ official tuner, Brabus, has taking a stab at making the SLS better, by making it lighter, lower, and more powerful.

Llightweight forged wheels at 20 inches at the front and 21 at the rear wrapped in low-profile Michelin tires  creating a combo that are 12 per cent lighter than those on the regular model.

There is a unique carbon fibre lower splitter and optimised air intakes for the front bumper, as well as revised air outlets in the front wings – which incorporate Brabus lettering illuminated with LEDs. At the rear, a spoiler and carbon trim with cut-outs for the titanium sports exhaust.

There’s a total interior re-trim which each customer can have tailored to their individual taste and a Brabus recalibrated speedometer to read up to 250mph. Also, a set of three buttons on the centre console to the right of the gear selector. These complement the starter, traction control, rear wing and AMG switches already fitted to the standard car.

The new exhaust is made of titanium and weighs 12kg – or 40 per cent less than the standard unit. It adds an extra 10bhp to the already potent 6.2-litre V8’s output, taking total power to 573bhp.
