Mercedes-Benz tuning specialist Brabus has created a new tuning program for the latest SLK Roadster. The aero package begins with a pair of corner spoilers that attach to the factory front bumper, providing extra downforce. The flanks are treated to subtle sill extensions, while around the back sits a spoiler on the boot lid and diffuser for the rear bumper that helps to frame those new quad tailpipes. The wheels also receive an upgrade, with Brabus using its stunning 20-inch Monoblock F wheels finished in ‘Liquid Titanium’.
Apart from the new stainless steel exhaust system, Brabus can further power hikes across the entire engine range. Using its ECO PowerXtra CGI module, Brabus can give the SLK 200 BlueEFFICIENCY an extra 25 bhp (from 181 to 206 bhp), while two levels of tune are offered for the SLK 250 BlueEFFICIENCY: stage one uses the same method to jump from 201 bhp to 226 bhp, while the addition of a larger intercooler and BRABUS sport wastegate valve takes output to 236 bhp.
Inside, Brabus adds polished stainless steel scuff plates, and a new shifter and pedals crafted from aluminium. When it comes to the upholstery, Brabus uses breathable Mastik leather and Alcantara to finish the cabin, but can also satisfy individual requests.
