<p>Check out tuning-house Brabus&#8217; new beast &#8211; the Brabus Vanish. It&#8217;s a Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series that has been injected with so much &#8216;roids, it suffers from roid rage.</p>
<p>The car produces a whopping 789 hp from its twin-turbocharged 6.0L V12 engine. The &#8220;stock&#8221; SL65 AMG Black &#8220;only&#8221; dishes out a mere 661 hp.</p>
<p>The uprated power comes from larger turbochargers (that probably sucks up massive road kill), a quicker gearbox, and a tuned exhaust. </p>
<p>And as a testament to the car being as exclusive as heck, the car&#8217;s been built since some guy from Dubai wanted one. (And you know how much serious dough those guys from OPEC have.)</p>

<p>So the Mercedes GL isn&#8217;t really the type of car that you plow off the road at a whim since it&#8217;s really more of a big car for the road. So what&#8217;s the point in giving the GL a massive shot of steroids.</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s just the thing with tuners especially with the likes of Brabus. Meet the <strong>Brabus Mercedes-Benz GL 63 Biturbo</strong>.</p>
<p>The car&#8217;s basically a GL but has an eight-cylinder engine from the ML 63 AMG with a couple of turbos added for good measure. It&#8217;s tweaked and tuned to dish out 650 hp and up to 625 lb-ft of torque. That&#8217;s in the ball park of the Ferrari Enzo. The engine is mated to a Speedshift 7G-Tronic automatic gearbox and permanent 4WD.</p>
<p>However, since this is a crossover we&#8217;re talking about, the Brabus GL 63 doesn&#8217;t necessarily go like the Enzo. But it&#8217;s pretty fast and pretty quick, able to go full out at 186.4 mph and a 0-62 mph sprint in 4.7 seconds.</p>
<p>Since Brabus doesn&#8217;t simply tweak the engine, the car also gets a bit more styling with 23-inch forged wheels (21s and 22s) come as choices, bits and pieces for the exterior and a spiffy interior styling. </p>

Merc tuner Brabus has been at it again but it&#8217;s not a case of bitch-slapping Merc in-house tuner AMG by making AMG-badged Mercs way better. They laid their hands on a Smart ForTwo.</p>
<p>Meet the Brabus Ultimate High Voltage. Built upon a ForTwo, Brabus slapped on electric motors and a battery pack jointly developed with Tesla Motors. The motors dish out 82 hp and a crazy 207 lb-ft of torque.</p>
<p>With a car the size of the ForTwo, that much power allows the car to go from 0 to 60 mph in 9.8 seconds. That should be enough to dust even small compact sedans.</p>
<p>The car sits on huge 18-inch rims. For added body bits, Brabus slapped on side skirts, wheel arches, and LED running lights. Inside you&#8217;d find seats in white leather and yellow stitching.</p>
<p>Oh and for kicks. Brabus fitted the car with an &#8220;artificial sound generator&#8221; that emits the V8 bellow of a muscle car even if the car&#8217;s basically a silent EV. That should be enough to scare those who&#8217;d dare line up against you at the red light. </p>

Meet the Brabus Black Baron E V12 &#8211; the Brabus-tuned monster based on the E63 AMG.</p>
<p>Powering the Black Baron is a 6.3L twin-turbocharged V12 engine that churns out an earth-moving 800 horses and biblical 1,407 lb-ft of torque. That much power allows the car to go from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds and top speed goes all the way up to 230 mph.</p>
<p>The car&#8217;s also fitted with a fully-adjustable sports suspension, and sports braking system, new stabilizers and 19-inch alloy wheels.</p>
<p>On the outside, the Brabus gets a grille, new front quarter panels, front bumper, side skirts, a trunk mounted spoiler, and new new rear-wheel covers (which actually makes the car look like crap from the side).</p>
<p>The car will see a limited run though, with only 10 to be made.</p>
