The Brabus 700 Biturbo, based on the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, was officially revealed Tuesday at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.

To fit the Mercedes SLS V8 engine, the German tuner’s engineers have created their own twin-turbo system that achieves an output of 700 PS (514 kW / 690 bhp) and 850 Nm (626 lb-ft) of torque. The B63 bi-turbo system features a left-turning charger attached to the left side of the engine, as opposed to the more common right-charging, right-side fitted twin-turbochargers. Improved gas flow and dynamics are the result of this style of fitting.

Brabus created an ultra-light titanium exhaust system in house that features four slanted tailpipes that are 84 mm in diameter. In addition to new tailpipes, Brabus provides an inter-cooling system, performance exhaust manifold, sport air filter system, offers an ECU remap and forged its own fitted pistons that reduce the compression ratio to 9.0:1.

Final performance figures have the tuned SLS hitting 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 10.2 seconds and offers a respectable top speed of 340 km/h (213 mph).

Brabus adds a wide-body kit (WIDESTAR) that widens the SLS 20 mm at the rear axle and gives a sportier look and feel. A new front spoiler, rear spoiler lip and rear diffuser are added in addition to the blue illuminated gills at the front fender.

To put even more emphasis on the wedge shape of the SLS AMG Gullwing, the Brabus Monoblock F “PLATINUM EDITION” wheels are mounted in 9.5J x 20-inch rims, with 275/30 ZR 20 tires on the front axle, and 11J x 21-inch covered by 295/25 ZR 21 tires on the back. Tires are either Pirelli or Yokohama.

Custom-tailored interiors have been a specialty of Brabus for more than three decades and Brabus livedup to their name on the Mercedes SLS interior. The Brabus upholstery shop crafts individual, exclusive interiors in any desired leather or Alcantara color for the SLS, offering a completely customizable look. There is also a new sport steering wheel, a 400 km/h (250 mph) speedometer, matte or shining carbon-fiber trims as well as matte anodized aluminum pedals and foot rest.
