GENEVA — Probably one of the most aptly named concepts at this week's Geneva auto show is the Brabus Widestar, a wide-track version of the Mercedes-Benz ML63. The German tuner, known for its breathtaking high-performance cars, says the Widestar package is available for all current M-Class models.
The tuned version of the ML63 takes the 510-horsepower V8 and fits it with sport air filters, high-performance metal catalysts and reprogrammed engine electronics. As a result, horsepower rises to 550 hp and peak torque grows from 465 to 479 pound-feet. The Widestar sprints from zero to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of 171 mph.
The Widestar gets new front and rear fascias and a front spoiler bumper with three air inlets and four integrated auxiliary headlights. The cabin features stainless steel doorsills with illuminated Brabus logos, a sport steering wheel and leather-covered door trim pieces. Options include an electric folding table and a high-performance brake system.
What this means to you: A low, mean look for the Mercedes M-Class models, thanks to the imagination of one of Germany's powerhouse tuners.
