Mercedes McLaren SLR by Brabus

It’s rather unlikely to tune a Mercedes Mclaren SLR but the guys from Brabus couldn’t resist to create an upgrade for the Mclaren SLR Roadster. To minimize lift on the front axle, designers developed a front spoiler that attaches to the production bumper. The spoiler is made from exposed carbon fiber and its shape was fine-tuned in the wind tunnel.
The car sits on Brabus Monoblock VI 20 inch rimms having a six double spoke design.
The power tuning for the supercharged 5.5L engine consists of special camshafts, a fuel cooling system and a high-performance exhaust. Power output of the V8 compressor engine increases by 24 bhp to 650 bhp. Thanks to that Mclaren roadster will sprint to 62 mph (100kmh) in just 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 210mph (337kmh).
