BRABUS POWERXTRA D8 (III) TUNING FOR THE MERCEDES MODELS GL 420 CDI AND ML 420 CDI
44 hp / 32.4 kW More Power and 100 Nm More Torque: 44 hp / 32.4 kW more power and 100 Nm more torque: Those are the two most important performance figures of the BRABUS PowerXtra D8 (III) tuning kit for the two Mercedes models GL 420 CDI and ML 420 CDI. BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, D-46240 Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777-0, fax + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777 111, Internet www.brabus.com ) offers tuning kits backed by the one-of-a-kind BRABUS Tuning Warranty® of three years up to 100,000 kilometers (see BRABUS warranty conditions, as of June 2003). The BRABUS PowerXtra D8 (III) power kit unleashes - without compromising safety reserves - the true power inherent in the V8 common-rail turbodiesel engine. With BRABUS PowerXtra D8 (III) tuning rated power output jumps from stock 306 hp / 225 kW to 350 hp / 257 kW at just 3,800 rpm. At the same time peak torque grows from 700 Nm for the production car to 800 Nm with D8 tuning. Performance benefits accordingly: The tuned ML 420 CDI sprints from 0 - 100 km/h in just 6.0 seconds, half a second faster than the production car. Top speed increases from 235 to 245 km/h. The GL 420 CDI with BRABUS D8 (III) performance tuning also exhibits a more lively character: With 7.1 instead of 7.6 seconds from rest to 100 km/h and a top speed increased from 230 to 240 km/h the big SUV improves noticeably. On and off road the BRABUS-tuned CDI engines offer not only excellent performance but - more importantly - strong pulling power and low fuel consumption, which despite the increase in performance remains on the level of the production car. Just as exemplary are the vehicle emissions: Like their non-tuned brethren the CDI engines with BRABUS PowerXtra D8 (III) tuning meet stringent Euro 4 emission limits. The D8 kit is also suitable for all models equipped with diesel particulate filter.
