BOTTROP, Germany — Brabus kicks up the horsepower and torque on the Mercedes GL420 CDI and ML420 CDI with its new PowerXtra D8 (III) tuning kit.
The auxiliary control unit is designed as a plug-and-play device that the tuner says can be installed in less than 30 minutes at any authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.
The power kit is meant to unleash the power in the Benz V8 common-rail turbodiesel engine. Power output rises from the stock 306 horsepower to 350 hp at 3,800 rpm. Peak torque increases from 516 pound-feet to 590 lb-ft with D8 tuning.
The tuned ML420 CDI sprints from zero to 62 mph in 6.0 seconds, a half-second faster than the production car. Top speed increases from 146 to 152 mph. The GL420 CDI with the kit goes from zero to 62 mph in 7.1 seconds instead of 7.6 seconds. Top speed increases from 143 to 149 mph.
What this means to you: Brabus gives you the best of both worlds: lots of power with virtually no penalty in fuel economy.
