Beautiful or ugly? Main - noticeably.


And very quickly. SUV A.R.T. G Streetline manages to dial 260 km / h, whereas the G 55 AMG - only 210. The secret to optimize the "compressor" engine V8 5.4 (507 hp, 700 N • m).

Brabus GLK - the fastest SUV in the world

When the light appeared Mercedes GLK, no one doubted that sooner or later, this car will draw attention to tuning-studio Brabus. How could it be otherwise, Brabus «is pumping" virtually the entire range of Mercedes? However, what is done with the machine craftsmen from the town of Bottrop, did not expect, it seems, nobody.
As you know, the fastest SUV in the world until recently was a Brabus ML63 Biturbo. The car could accelerate to 310 km / h, thus becoming the "king of speed" among mass-produced sport utility vehicles. Even popular in Russia in a certain category of citizens Gemballa GT750 Aero 3 is not able to withstand the pressure of brabusovskogo monster, stumbling on a mark in the 306 km / h. It would seem, to overthrow 63 Biturbo Brabus ML from the throne in the near future by anyone.



But the trouble came from there, where nobody was waiting. At the time, until Brabus ML 63 Biturbo suit their record "races" and otherwise humiliated by rivals in the model range Mercedes appeared beginner - a compact SUV GLK. It is such a harmless teenager, four and a half feet from nose to tail, and all sort of awkwardly-square-faceted. Such a fit mud puddle, as his famous grandfather "Gelendvagenu" and not to rush to racetracks. But everything happened exactly the opposite.


Well, who could imagine that in the hood space that nedomerka Brabus engineers will be able to stuff his famous 6.3-liter, twelve-bi-turbo engine of 750 hp and torque of a shock in 1350 "Newton"? And it packed! In order five-step "automatic" is not shattered into pieces, trying to digest all these newton-meters, the box has been reinforced, and torque limited at 1100 N • m Of course, remaking the same cooling system and subjected to the exhaust system.
Machine for Brabus traditionally painted a black color, under the thresholds established LED backlight and deprived of all unmarked Mercedes and even a name. And instead given a new - Brabus GLK V12. In addition, the car got a new bumper, grille, hood, dodger, spoiler and got the original 22-inch Brabus Monoblock wheels and low-profile tires Pirelli dimension 285/25 R22. Beauty is trimmed with leather with carbon inserts, installed a new speedometer scale up to 330 km / h, and the thresholds decorated plates of stainless steel with neon lights. Then Brabus GLK V12 went to Italy at the famous track Nardo, where he was able to overclock to 322.3 km / h. First hundred machine wins for 4,2 s and the second with a 12.8. But the main thing - it is the title of king of speed.

Go is to say that to stand in line for the Brabus GLK V12 mere mortals do not make sense, because the price of the machine is 397 000 euros ($ 580 000). And it is in Germany. Of course, Brabus GLK V12 can be bought in Russia, but, in view of customs clearance and dealer markups, the price will generally beyond the clouds. However, rich people like "stuff" are unlikely to care about.
