BRABUS pays tribute to its founder with a Mercedes-AMG SL 63 so exclusive that only 25 units will be sold

The new Mercedes-AMG SL 63 has become a mantra for tuning specialists. The Germans from MANHART and Mansory have already gotten their hands on the luxury convertible from the brand with the star and the next one has been BRABUS. The firm signs up for special editions with the more than exclusive BRABUS 750 BodoBuschmann Edition.

Until now, BRABUS had not dared to touch up the new luxury convertible from the star brand. The new Mercedes-AMG SL had only passed through the hands of a couple of external but renowned tuners and, of course, German compatriots. MANHART and Mansory are the ones that up to now have paid special attention to this luxury, high-performance Cabrio, whose offer has not yet been completed and the wildest version is still to come.

"In the absence of bread, good are cakes", and why to wait until the new Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance arrives, which, with its PHEV system with more than 800 HP, will not only offer great performance but is also a technology that until now tuning specialists have been reluctant to touch. The "plain" SL 63 is already a good option for modification, and that is what BRABUS has done with the new 750 BodoBuschmann Edition, making the model a collector's item.

The BRABUS 750 BodoBuschmann Edition is an SL to the beast

The firm has pulled from its most exquisite catalog for this new proposal, inspired by the BRABUS 7.3S presented in 1996 and based on the old Mercedes SL 600, one of the true flagships of the market, with a canvas roof and four real seats before to become a roadster, one of the models signed by BodoBuschmann, the founder of the preparer.

The limited edition bears his name in clear homage to that creation, and of which only 25 units will be produced worldwide. The convertible stands out for its glossy black paint and the impressive Monoblock II Evo alloy wheels, like the original ones but made of 21-inch front and 22-inch rear forged alloy wheels. And of course also the radiator grille with its own design, the front spoiler, and the decorative applications around the large exposed carbon fiber air intakes. The same material is used in the rear spoiler and in the aerodynamic diffuser, which is completed with the four exhaust pipes embedded in carbon fiber trims.

The BRABUS Mercedes-AMG offers barbaric performance

With a diamond-patterned quilted leather interior, the so-called "R-Sport" design, and one of the founder's favorite finishes, the really interesting thing is on the mechanical plane. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine has been tweaked to make the convertible one of the fastest on the market, capable of accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and reaching a top speed of 315 km/h. which could be more although BRABUS says it is to "protect high-performance tires". The price? It will only be between the client and the preparer, so it must be something more obscene.
