Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Tesla Roadster by BrabusToday we have for you a premiere! Brabus, the well-known tuner specialized in Mercedes-Benz vehicles released the first tuning package for an electric car, the Tesla Roadster.

The new vehicle that will make its official debut at the 2008 Essen Motor Show comes with a interesting space sound generator, a system that gives the driver and the co-passenger a chance to choose from several simulated engine sounds including that of a typical V8 combustion engine, a racecar engine and two futuristic soundscapes named “Beam” and “Warp”.The volume of the sound is strictly related to the power output of the electric motor.

The new vehicle comes with a new set of Brabus Monoblock S light-alloy wheels in size 7Jx18 in front and in size 8.5Jx19 in back, wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Nero high-performance tires which deliver a minimum rolling resistance. More details and photos after the jump!

Brabus GLK Widestar - Mercedes-Benz GLKThe Brabus GLK Widestar is an interpretation of the German SUV as on-road machine capable to manage the agility of the sports cars with the the high levels of refinement associated with Mercedes vehicles.

That doesn’t signify that the Brabus GLK is a tamed lion among the SEMA stars. It is anything but tame! One glance is all it takes to capture the tough posture of the Widestar bodyshell, which has been expanded by 50 mm, including attractively integrated flared wheel arches that carry through to the front of the vehicle with special air intake fins. Specialized front and rear bumpers, LED daytime running lights, side skirts, a roof spoiler with LED position lights and all-new LED lighting units above the front windshield complete the modified bodyshell. A special paint process adds an unequaled depth of shine to the black paint finish. More photos after the jump!
