Brabus Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Widestar 2011
Tuesday, November 30, 2010
The new Brabus Widestar wide version represents a custom-tailored designer suit for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. In addition to the extravagant high-tech carbon-fiber body program for the gullwing the tuner also offers ultralight forged wheels, an electronically adjustable Ride Control smooth-ride suspension, a titanium high-performance exhaust system with electronically controlled sound management and custom Brabus interiors.
To give the SLS an even more muscular appearance the Brabus designers have developed custom-tailored Brabus Widestar components for the rear axle. Like all other body components they are made from extremely light yet very strong carbon fibers identical to the ones used in Formula 1 racing. The add-on parts for the rear fenders and the rear fascia create an even more spectacular look and make room for special wheels that widen the rear track by 20 millimeters for even further improved driving dynamics.
The suspension engineers developed custom-tailored versions of the ultralight Brabus Monoblock F Platinum Edition forged wheels in sizes 9.5Jx20 in front and 11Jx21 on the rear axle for the wide version of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. These wheels are available with a brushed-design or ceramics-polished surface and can also be painted in any desired color. The staggered wheels with 20- and 21-inch diameters on front and rear axles further emphasize the wedge-shaped look of the sports car.
Despite the wheels’ bigger size they deliver a weight reduction of up to 12 percent compared to the SLS production wheels. The reduced unsprung weight further results in even more agile handling. Brabus technology partners Pirelli and Yokohama supply the optimal high-performance tires in sizes 275/30 ZR 20 and 295/25 ZR 21.
The ride-height lowering by up to 30 millimeters (1.2 inches) also plays an important role in the striking appearance of the Brabus-modified SLS. The Brabus suspension is height-adjustable and was developed in cooperation with technology partner Bilstein. At the push of a button its integrated Ride Control function also offers a smoother ride than the production car. From the cockpit the driver can at any time – even while driving – switch between damper settings that offer a more comfortable or a sportier ride than the production car.
The Brabus high-performance exhaust system with four slanted exhaust tips with diameters of 84 millimeters (3.3 inches) is somewhat atypical for traditional tuning. Its sound management, controlled by the driver and activated by a pneumatic flap, includes a ‘coming home’ setting that is quieter than the production exhaust. In ’sport’ mode the 6.3-liter eight-cylinder engine produces an even more powerful exhaust note than with the production exhaust. The Brabus exhaust system is manufactured from extremely lightweight titanium and weighs 12 kilograms (26 lbs.) or 40 percent less than the production exhaust. Another welcome by-product of this exhaust is an increase in power output by 10 hp / 7.4 kW.

He claimed, for the price range of Rp300 million to Rp500 million Mercedes-Benz cars are planned to be equipped with engines below 2,000 cc will be the most premium car in its segment.
"Because if we look down the 2,000 cc class definitely worth Rp100 million range, while above 2,000 cc is 300 million. So arguably we will remain a premium," said Yuniadi.
He also argued, a number of German brand loyal consumers sometimes need a compact car for their daily needs but want to still look luxurious.
"Like the bike, there are others Rp1 million to Rp40 million, whereas the same needs. So did this car, our customers may need a small car for daily use and unfortunately if we are using the C-Class, E-Class or S-Class, but still want a car with luxury, comfort, and safety is high, "he said.
What is clear, the car is scheduled to appear at the world premiere in 2012 it will be assembled at the MBI factory in Indonesia and are made available to the market in Indonesia.
"This is really a new model of the platform which is also new, the shape can be A-Class, B-Class or Mini SUV," he said.

Not too noticeable on the highway, but still felt thick luxurious feel in the cabin. That first impression detikOto against Mercedes-Benz C300 Avantgarde.
C-class sedans from Mercedes-Benz was new in 2010 is presented middel homeland automotive market, which has been built locally at the factory
Mercedes-Benz, Wanaherang, West Java.
Starting from the lights, grille and grooves on the hood is very characteristic
Mercedes-Benz, elegant, polite manners and full of European style that is not a lot of lines and curves extremely like Japanese cars.
Entry into the cabin, seating position you will be pampered with seating arrangements electrically located in door trim, with five-position memory that can be stored.
In addition, the audio settings, and even telephone communications were all available in the circumference of the wheel. You just glanced at the monitor in the middle of the dashboard to set the configuration of the entertainment provided.
Unfortunately, the C300 is not equipped with features start / stop, so the key still must dicolok. But maybe not too significant, because after all the machine can still be ignited.
There is no sound in the cabin engine at idle. Mercedes-Benz knows how to pamper owners with a quiet cabin space, although this only the standard C-Class.
His name is a premium sedan, and no-frills sports, so naturally from the C300 Avantgarde acceleration is slightly more muted, although the engine quite cool.
Mercedes-Benz puts a capacity of 3.0 liter V6 engine on this Avangarde C300, a par course offers performance that is fierce, especially at high speed.
The machine can produce power reaching 231 PS with torque of 300 NM ante. It was more than adequate for freeway invited to run the streets.
It is true, although the initial pull of a little weight, but the softness makes passengers are not going to wake up from sleep due to excessive pounding acceleration.
So also with the movement of teeth that almost did not feel there was a pause,
except step on the gas pedal spontaneously. Convenience is enhanced with suspension settings are too soft.
But when you are young at heart, and felt the performance was less fierce C300 Avantgarde, please dial Sport button on the center console, dashboard, and feel the difference.
Handling car suddenly become more sensitive, the suspension becomes more rigid,
and clearly akselarasinya become more aggressive and spontaneous than the first time
the gas pedal.
So, naturally the number of 180 km per hour on average can

SLS gait new AMG will begin for the Indonesian public in July 2010, but the electric version of the seagull was already available. And who was the first rider was lucky to taste this electric car
He is a former Formula 1 racing driver, David Coulthard. David was the first to taste the reliability of electrical machines SLS AMG.
"This car drove by instant but gentle, and exceeded what I anticipated before," says former racer by Mercedes-Benz team was quoted as saying by worldcarfans, Wednesday (07/07/2010).
More importantly, continued Coulthard, this car could be had both thanks to the slalom with a low center of gravity.
Entire bodies SLS AMG electric version with SLS AMG petrol versions. However, the primacy of the car is more silent than the gasoline version. SLS E-Cell is also more color striking namely AMG lumilectric Magno. "When I saw the color first, first I was not sure about the color, but with performance that was I so like the color," Coulthard said, smiling.

brand shiny black car was pretty silent in the corner of Mercedes-Benz factory in Wanaherang, Bogor, West Java. That's the AMG or Si SLS Mercy Gull. Mercy mainstay super sports cars sold USD 4.7 billion on the road in Jakarta, nothing less and nothing more.
However, any advantage to the enjoyment of sports cars, to the Mercedes-Benz cars that dare to thrust into the most powerful safety car at Formula 1's traffic. Well, detikOto try give it to you.
Visible from the outside, feeling like the gas pedal is connected to the engine capacity of 6208 cc DOHC 32 valve V8 is very large. When the wave concept gullwing doors manually, the sports car aura began to be felt and is very thick blanketed the car could only accommodate two passengers.
Interior side pinned only two colors, dark red and black genuine leather. Not thinking straight racing seats occupied. Mmm, nice.
Unfortunately the passenger cabin rather narrow, it's because this car really brings the concept of racing, do not hope you can find a cabin that relief here.
Differences with Nascar race car, AMG SLS no roll bars in the cabin.
From the monitoring detikOto, the interior is not like Mercy is generally used to provide features wah. Features entertainment which carried similar car for USD 160-320 million. Call it like a DVD player and other supporting features such as radio FM / AM can be monitored via the display on the console front.
But yes it was, this car especially for you who want speed.
How, in view of the driver. Well, if you're a little short stature, you'd better be careful driving.
Therefore, the long engine hood to make your point of view was closed. Moreover, the seat arrangement can not be elevated, just back and forth which is operated manually.
The roar of the engine belching power with the support of 563 bhp 479 lb-ft of torque starting to sound up to the passenger cabin, as a sign of Engine Start button on the center console.
Car body trembled slightly, but the fact it was not unusual for SLS AMG-sized car.
Features of i-drive is played to 'D', the car was ready for searched. When pressed gas pedal, the car drove very fast.
Insane, within two seconds just stepped on the number of kilometers needle 90 km / hr. That result reinforces the claim that the Mercedes-Benz says the car can go from the point of rest to 100 km per hour with a time of three seconds. It was awesome and full of prestige.
In terms of braking, the car was quite reliable. Because, in all four legs break dics modific wide grip with congenital piston factory.
Unfortunately, experience with SLS AMG can not be much longer. SLS can not be explored more deeply, by reason of the testing at the factory who are not qualified for such a sports car.
From what we feel, a super sports car is really worth to have lovers of fast cars and pocket thick. Surely everyone was stunned to see you drive this car on the street

Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss, 2009
Thursday, March 4, 2010Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss, 2009
With the SLR Stirling Moss Mercedes-Benz and McLaren are adding the crowning glory to the model family of their highly successful SLR super sports car with a new, uncompromisingly spectacular car. There is neither a roof nor a windscreen to separate the driver and passenger from the outside world; they enjoy unadulterated high-speed excitement with all the attributes of a speedster.
The new Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss is also characterised by the most sophisticated technology and a breathtaking design which reinterprets the SLR legend. With 478 kW/650 hp the SLR Stirling Moss accelerates its V8 supercharged engine from standstill to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 350 km/h - no other series-production car is at the same time so open and so fast. This extreme concept makes the new high-performance sports car a legitimate bearer of the name of the British motor racing legend and Mille Miglia record-holder Stirling Moss, who drove the legendary Mercedes-Benz SLR racing cars from victory to victory during the 1950s.
The exclusive Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss rounds off the current SLR family and is limited to 75 units. It is priced at 750,000 euros. The SLR Roadster will cease to be manufactured at the end of May 2009 as planned, and production of the Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss will commence in June 2009.
Three letters are all it takes to make car fans' hearts beat faster: SLR. In the 1950s the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR celebrated victory after victory. It won the Mille Miglia and the Targa Florio as well as the Tourist Trophy. It was driven by the stars of the time: Juan Manual Fangio and Karl Kling - and, first and foremost, by the British racing driver Stirling Moss. At ten hours, seven minutes and 48 seconds he still holds the Mille Miglia record.
As the new Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss unites the character of the current SLR models with the fascination of the SLR of 1955. The core values of both the historical and the present-day SLR models include an exciting new design, innovative technology, high-class materials displaying perfect craftsmanship, and, above all: a unique driving experience for all the senses.
Remaining totally true to the specifications of the 300 SLR, the new Silver Arrow's equipment is extremely sophisticated and yet at the same time decidedly spartan, doing without both a roof and side windows. There are just two wind deflectors a couple of centimetres in height to protect the driver and passenger from the airflow. Two air scoops integrated into the bodywork serve as roll-over bars. With this extreme concept the new Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss is visually very different from all the other vehicles which belong to the elite sports car class.
Just like the legendary racing vehicles of yesteryear, the SLR Stirling Moss dazzles with its superlative performance. Accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and with a top speed of 350 km/h this puristic high-performance sports car denotes completely new dimensions in open-top driving. And not just because of the impressive performance figures; every time drivers take to the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss their senses are addressed with a previously unheard of intensity, conveying a driving experience in its purest and most sensual form. This automotive thoroughbred thus facilitates the kind of open-air feeling that is utterly unique for a road-going vehicle.
The Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss, its entire bodywork made of fine lightweight carbon fibre, represents a stand-alone design concept. Whilst the Mercedes-Benz designers were working on the body of the new SLR Stirling Moss, they were fully aware every single moment that they were creating a vehicle with a top speed of 350 km/h. At the same time this supreme athlete is highly reminiscent of the SLR racing cars from the 1950s, whose design idiom still never fails to impress to this day.
The Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss sports an exciting, pronounced arrow-shaped form and is characterised by an elongated bonnet and a compact, muscular rear. As there is no windscreen, the exterior and interior flow smoothly into one. The bonnet also stretches from its striking tip right down into the interior, giving the vehicle body a distinctly sleek air. Even when standing still, the sports car radiates such dynamism that the observer immediately falls under its spell.
The vehicle can be closed by two tonneau covers which are carried in the boot. When both tonneau covers and the doors are closed the Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss resembles a sculpture.
In keeping with the puristic exterior of the vehicle, the interior is also reduced to the bare essentials. Surfaces penetrating each other in the instrument panel and doors make for an exciting atmosphere and resonate perfectionism. A mixture of high-class authentic materials such as carbon fibre, aluminium and fine-quality leather sets the style here. An aluminium plate carries the engraved signature of Stirling Moss and covers the area around the shift lever.
Developers working on the Stirling Moss were able to fall back on a wealth of experience gathered when producing the SLR Coupé and Roadster, in particular where the technical base was concerned, with its extravagant carbon-fibre design, high-performance suspension and throaty V8 engine. The common denominator uniting the Stirling Moss with the other members of the SLR family is the aerodynamic concept with a closed underbody and a diffuser in the rear bumper for maximum possible downforce at the rear axle - with one difference: the diffuser here is considerably larger than that on the coupé and roadster.
