One can never have enough power, especially not in a sports car.
That is why the BRABUS power unit engineers developed the BRABUS PowerXtra B40S-750 performance upgrade for the four-liter, twin-turbo eight-cylinder engine of the GT 63 Coupe.
Two custom BRABUS turbochargers with larger compressor unit and modified core assembly replace the production turbos.
In addition, two plug-and-play BRABUS control modules are adapted to the engine electronics.
They introduce special maps for injection, ignition and boost pressure control.
After the installation, peak output jumps by 121 kW / 165 hp (162 bhp), while peak torque increases by 100 Nm (74 lb-ft).
The high-tech lubricants for the entire powertrain are supplied by technology partner MOTUL.
The BRABUS stainless sports exhaust system with four carbon-wrapped tailpipes is the ideal complement to the engine tuning.
This exhaust system optimizes the power delivery of the V8 engine and thanks to electronically controlled butterfly valves in the exhaust offers active sound management that ranges from a subtle “Coming Home” mode to a particularly powerful V8 exhaust note with open butterfly valves.
An output of 552 kW / 750 hp (740 bhp) at 6,100 rpm and a peak torque of 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) at a low 4,000 rpm propel the tuned all-wheel-drive sports car from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a mere 2.9 seconds.
The top speed is electronically limited to 315 km/h (196 mph).
As an alternative, BRABUS also offers the BRABUS PowerXtra B40-650 performance kit, which increases the output to 478 kW / 650 hp (641 bhp) and the torque to 850 Nm (627 lb-ft).
Like in Formula 1 racing, the BRABUS aerodynamic-enhancement components are made from especially light yet tremendously strong carbon.
The components were developed in the wind tunnel and give the two-door even more of the thrilling, hallmark BRABUS design while optimizing the aerodynamics to boot.
All exposed-structure carbon bodywork components offer a choice of glossy or matte finish and can also be painted in vehicle or contrasting color.
The BRABUS front spoiler with raised side flaps at the wheel arches gives the coupe a visual upgrade.
What is more: It further reduces front-axle lift at high speeds, resulting in even more stable handling.
In addition, the two BRABUS inserts for the radiator grille lend the coupe a more striking face.
The BRABUS design trim panels behind the front wheel arches play just as much a crucial role in the exhilarating BRABUS look as the BRABUS Monoblock “PLATINUM EDITION” forged wheels, which were custom-developed for this Mercedes sports car and are produced using state-of-the-art forging technology and CNC machining.
The Monoblock Z design with ten spokes was chosen for the vehicle pictured here.
The GT 63 4MATIC+ runs on these wheels in size 10.5Jx21 at the front and size 12Jx22 on the rear axle.
The wide high-performance tires of sizes 305/30 ZR 21 and 335/25 ZR 22 come from technology partner Continental.
The BRABUS sports springs, which lower the ride height of the GT by about 25 millimeters (1 in), also play a part in the electrifying looks.
The rear end of the car is given an even more athletic appearance with BRABUS exposed-structure carbon aerodynamic-enhancement components in the form of a rear spoiler and a rear fascia with integral diffuser and tailor-made cutouts for the four tailpipes of the BRABUS sports exhaust system.
The BRABUS interior designers developed exclusive accessories for the cockpit of the two-door.
They include scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo, whose color can change in sync with the interior ambient lighting, BRABUS aluminum or exposed-structure carbon pedal pads, high-quality BRABUS floor mats, and a leather-edged trunk liner.
Requests for further enhancement can be fulfilled with exclusive BRABUS MASTERPIECE interiors.
They are created in the company upholstery shop in any conceivable color and a host of different designs.
