Power is transferred to the road via a modified seven-speed automatic gearbox and a custom-developed BRABUS limited-slip differential. The BRABUS prepped SLK AMG sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 305 km/h or 191 mph.
All versions of the 2009 SLK can be equipped with a stainless-steel sport exhaust system with four chrome-plated tailpipes along with a sport suspension that lowers the ride height of the roadster by some 30 mm. Additionally, BRABUS offers several high-performance brake systems, the largest of which features 6-piston aluminium fixed calipers and 355-mm (14 inches) vented and slotted discs on the front axle and 300-mm (11.8 inches) discs and four-piston aluminium fixed calliper on the front.
Appearance-wise, the BRABUS designers have come up with an aerodynamically enhanced bodykit complemented by chrome-plated roll bars and a series of light-alloy wheels available with diameters of 17, 18 and 19 inches.
As for the inside, the list of available components includes highly polished stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated BRABUS logo, various versions of the ergonomically shaped BRABUS sport steering wheel and a speedometer with 330-km/h (206 mph) dial. Additionally, BRABUS can dress the SLK’s cabin with Mastik leather and Alcantara.
