BRABUS GLK V12 (Faster SUV on earth) BRABUS GLK V12 to debut at Dubai Tuning icon BRABUS has laid claim to yet another fastest-in-the-world record with this GLK V12. Said to accelerate from 0 - 100km/h in 4.2 seconds and 0 - 200km/hin 12.8 seconds, the Mercedes-Benz GLK-based athlete was also testedfor top speed at an Italian high-speed track two months ago. There itposted a scintillating 322.3 km/h (211 mph), making it the fastest street-legal SUV in the world, as per the press release. Thework involved in such a feat is enormous. It includes fitting a massive6.3-litre V12 bi-turbo engine with two large turbochargers, moreefficient intercoolers, free-flow metal catalysts and a stainless steelexhaust system. Maximum power is rated at 552kW (750hp) at 5,500rpm and peak torque is 1,350Nm (995 lb-ft) at 2,100rpm. BRABUS have however limited the latter to 1,100Nm (811 lb-ft).All of that goes to the rear wheels through a 5-speed automatic gearboxassisted by a limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40percent. The exterior kit includes a carbon fibre spoiler lip, a front apron with large air dams, BRABUS WIDESTAR fender flares that add 5cm(2 inches) to the width, underside LED lights, a BRABUS roof spoiler toreduce aerodynamic lift and a BRABUS stainless-steel sport exhaustsystem. Customers can choose from five different wheel designs sized 10Jx22 with Pirelli or Yokohama tyres of up to size 285/25 ZR 22.

geezus.... |
massive torque at 2,100 rpm! |
Porsche owners won't know what hit 'em. I'm most impressed at the fact they were able to make such a boxy shape stable at such a speed. |
insane :eek::eek: |
would still rather have a G55 amg. |
I like the torque figures but it isn't a diesel. Pointless for an SUV to go that fast. |
this is a tuning house for MB, Porsche has a few aces up their sleeves as well |
I would rather have a Cayenne turbo S. This probably has a sticker price of like $250 000 and up. The brabus C class bullet was like $450 000? |
that's crazy! |

That's $615,000 CAD :eek: |
i'd drive that |
i wonder if u can take a regular GLK n upgrade it :) |
looks great and performs like a monster...what a sleeper! 995lb/ft @ 2100rpm will make a honda look like a golf-cart personally think GLK is one of the best-looking MB in their current line-up...a bit dated and the tails look like a previous gen Highlander, but still looks amazing. |
how much gas do you think that thing drinks? |
getting to soccer practice on time just got easier |
last time i heard Dubai is broke LOL |
STUNNING! |
Mad SUV... "peak torque is 1,350Nm (995 lb-ft) at 2,100rpm". Jeezzz |
I think this goes well with the last episode of Top Gear. |
that thing can probly do crazy wheelies |
Holy crap that thing is amazing... |
beastly amazing..... |
reason why they went with 5 speed auto instead of something with more gears?? |
