A complete carbon fiber aerodynamic kit, offered in either high-gloss or matte finish, a body kit that includes a front spoiler, freshly designed air vents for the front fenders, side skirts, rear spoiler, side air vents for the rear fascia and a diffuser with integrated quad-exhaust are just the start of the updates Brabus made to the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster.

For the wheels, Brabus fitted the Roadster with their own Monoblock F “Platinum Edition” forged wheels, which are available in several finishes, 20-inch in the front and 21-inch in the rear.

The Brabus Ride Control suspension system allows the car to be lowered by up to 40 mm (1.6 inches) with the touch of a button. The Brabus SLS AMG Roadster also offers a Front Lift System which raises the front axle of the roadster 50 mm (2 inches) in order to avoid bottoming out on curbs, speed bumps and other obstacles.  At a second touch of a button, the suspension will revert back or will do so automatically once the car hits 30 km/h (19 mph).

Brabus did not forget to include a plethora of power upgrades to the SLS AMG Roadster. Upgrades include a titanium sport exhaust system with quad pipes measuring 84 mm in diameter as well as an engine tuning package that raises output on the 6.3 liter V8 from the already impressive 571 PS (420 kW / 563 hp) to 611 PS (448 kW / 600 hp).

If the exterior and the engine aren’t enough for you, Brabus impresses on the inside as well with interior that include fine leather and Alcantara materials with carbon-fiber or exotic-wood trims.
