Mercedes-Benz GLK V8 BRABUS 2009 - Front Picture
The special model GLK V8, which celebrates its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2009, adds fascinating eight-cylinder power from BRABUS to the GLK. BRABUS, recognized as an automobile manufacturer by the German Federal Vehicle Registration Agency, implants the eight-cylinder four-valve engine from the S 500 into the confines of the GLK body. As part of the BRABUS power treatment the displacement of the engine is increased to 6.1 liters, after which it puts out 462 hp (456 bhp) / 340 kW and propels the exclusive five-door to a new top speed of 275 km/h (172 mph). The BRABUS GLK V8 starts at 198,200 Euros MSRP.
The implantation of the V8 engine into the body of the GLK required the know-how the BRABUS development department gathered in the design of many ultra-fast high-performance sedans such as the BRABUS BULLIT that reaches a top speed of more than 360 km/h (225 mph). The BULLIT is based on the latest Mercedes C-Class.
This engine transforms the BRABUS GLK V8 into the prime example for a dynamic SUV: The five-door zooms from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 275 km/h (172 mph)
