Brabus Upgrades Mercedes-Maybach GLS To 888 HP

In addition to a carbon fiber body package and an exclusive interior, Mercedes-Maybach GLS SUV will feature an upgraded twin-turbo 4.5-liter V8 engine producing 888 horsepower, all thanks to Brabus. The model is built on the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 premium SUV, which is the company's largest, most potent, opulent, most costly SUV.

Outside carbon fiber parts were added to the front bumper intakes, fender expansions, and the rear diffuser as well as the Brabus grille, bigger tailpipes, and Shadow Chrome treatment.

The 24-inch Brabus Monoblock M "Platinum Edition" forged alloy wheels, wrapped in XL Continental SportContact rubber, are incredible. The Brabus Airmatic suspension has been adjusted, allowing the SUV to be lowered by another 1 inch.

Thanks to a new set of turbochargers, larger pistons, expanded bore and stroke, a reworked intake system, a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system, and software updates, AMG's twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 has been altered into a 4.5-liter engine. As a result, it now generates 888 horsepower and 922 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission and Mercedes' 4MATIC all-wheel-drive technology send power to all four wheels.

This power allows the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds, which is 0.7 seconds faster than the standard Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600. The highest speed is electronically limited at 199 mph for tire safety reasons.

Inside, the Brabus Bi-Color Masterpiece treatment comprises a new type of exquisite leather upholstery, seashell diamond stitching, tons of carbon fiber, and Brabus badges on the seatbacks. The official website can provide you with pricing information for the GLS-based Brabus 900.
