Brabus gave the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 a lot more power than it needs

The AMG GLE 63 S is the latest Mercedes to receive the Brabus treatment and as you'd expect, they've overdone it. But then again that's what makes Brabus... Brabus. As standard, the twin-turbo, 4.0-litre V8 that powers it produces a yawning 612 hp and 626 lb-ft and Brabus decided to make things spicier by fitting a larger compressor unit, bringing the power output up 800 hp (+188 hp) and 737 lb-ft of torque (+111 lb-ft), which means the Brabus GLE does 0-60 in just 3.4 seconds. Unfortunately, the top speed is limited... to 174 mph.

From a cosmetic point of view, the Brabus GLE looks a bit more aggressive than the standard GLE AMG thanks to exposed-carbon 'aerodynamic-enhancement' and massive 23-inch or 24-inch wheels, compatible with Continental, Pirelli or YOKOHAMA tyres. They've also given it a new exhaust system in carbo-titanium, which contributes to the aesthetic improvements but, more to the point, it makes it sound better. Especially in 'Sport' mode.

There's also a new front fascia, a new front grille, tailor made air deflectors and air intakes, a new rear spoiler and extended wheel arches. All of these components are made from carbon fibre and can be painted either with a high-gloss or matte finish.

 

The interior is upholstered in leather and Alcantara and is available in virtually any colour or finish (same as the exterior, apart from the carbon fibre bits). Brabus hasn't said anything about pricing but the factory AMG GLE 63 starts at around $116,000 in the US and £100,000 in the UK so the Brabus model won't come cheap.

Wow, 1000hp siah. I wonder how much of that is really useable power.

If the traction control and esp keep kicking in to prevent wheelspin the car cannot really put so much power down to the wheels. You just be burning rubber. Brabus just wants to show off that they can do it. LoL...

Half that hp is already a lot even for this heavy weight. 1000hp is just....hilarious on this suv. Tyre shops will be happy to see the owner.

at least with some super/ hyper cars at 1M, still got some value at the end of the day. all these AMG/Brabus mercs the value drop like a ton of bricks. but whatever 😁, if one has the money to buy, they can burn it whatever way they want.
