Geneva got its share of tuned models this year with models like the Brabus Mercedes ML63 Widestar. Fitted with a “bad to bone” bodykit that consists of add-on parts for the doors, and rocker panels, the Widestar’s ML63 derived V8 engine is fitted with sport air filters and high-performance metal catalysts as well as newly programmed engine electronics with custom mapping for ignition and injection. The result is an increase in power output by 40 hp / 31 kW to 550 hp / 404.8 kW while peak torque grows from 630 Nm to 650 Nm. According to Brabus , 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time is shortened to 4.9 seconds while the installation of the BRABUS V/max unit increases top speed from 250 km/h to 275 km/h.
