Roadster & Toaster: BRABUS SLR with ULTIMATE 112 "tender"
Filed under: Aftermarket, Tuners, Convertibles, Economy, Sports/GTs, Geneva Motor Show, Euro, Supercars, Mercedes Benz, SMART, Brabus
 Click image for a hi-res gallery of the Brabus SLR and its tender Megayachts usually come with fancy tenders, so why not supercars, too? BRABUS has taken the idea and run with it, pairing one of its tuned McLaren SLR Roadsters with a matching runabout in the form of a smart fortwo-based ULTIMATE 112. The SLR is the beneficiary of the usual complement of upgrades, including a full body and trim kit (dig those carbon fiber replacement "gills"), a custom interior, and the requisite underhood tweaking, which bestows the roadster with 650 horsepower -- enough to make the Kessel run to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds, with a top end of 211 mph. When its time to park the super-Merc and head into more constrained areas of the city, it's occupants can switch over to the car's ULTIMATE 112 "tender" which is finished and appointed to perfectly match its "mothership." In this case, that means the same white paint, deep red roof fabric, and right red leather interior -- right down to the waffle-patterned leather footwell trim. Of course, the little shuttlecraft gets a power bump as well, with 112 thundering horses prancing ponies under the wee bonnet. The cost of this matching set? A mere €699,000 gets the job done for owners of either an SLR or a Maybach, and it shows us that BRABUS is uniquely capable of finding new and innovative ways to separate the obscenely wealthy from large chunks of their money. The BRABUS press release gets into the minutiae after the jump.

If I was behind the wheel of a 650hp Brabus McLaren, I would love to see what happens when I was at a stoplight next to one of those crotch rocket japanese bikes, and the light turned green.
Oh yes I'd race them.

id race the bike anyways in a stock SLR, i have had the privilege to drive one because one of my friends works at some location that Mercedes has there shop manuals made out here in cali, i will tell you that car is fast. It might lose right off the line but after 3rd gear forget it you would smoke him.

The thought that a McLaren SLR needs further tuning seems ludicrous. I guess some people are just never satisfied . . . .
