Brabus special-edition Mercedes-AMG SL 63 honors a founder with a not-subtle 750 horsepower



Brabus isn’t a brand known for a sense of subtlety, though many of the vehicles it tunes didn’t need much help standing out in the first place. That’s the case with its latest creation, which takes the already impressive Mercedes-AMG SL 63 to new levels with a super-limited special edition to honor Brabus founder Bodo Buschmann.

The Brabus 750 Bodo Buschmann Edition “1 of 25” is a throwback themed in the 1990s when the company’s founder was snapped testing an older V12 SL without the hood. In typical Brabus fashion, the car’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 got a spa day with new turbochargers and a boost in horsepower from 577 to 750 that enables the car’s impressive 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of just 3.3 seconds.
