The new Portofino is a wheel that incorporates the noblesse of the premium cars manufactured by Mercedes. The creative department of AEZ has succeeded in carefully adopting the design vocabulary of the cars made in Stuttgart. The result is a classic, elegant double star spoke wheel that shows that it was tailor-made for the exclusive sedans, cabriolets and estates of the German manufacturer. The AEZ Portofino matches the C-Class, E-Class, SLK, CLS and S-Class like a tailor-made suit and harmonises with the large SL as well as the luxury SUV GLK. The wheel always lines up perfectly with the elegant body of the respective Mercedes models. The silhouette of the car and the wheel appear as a mundane, sporty unit. The clear, reduced lines of the Portofino with the deliberately light design of the wheel centre appear just as timeless as the cars for which it was developed.

Sportiness and elegance do not have to contradict each other. This applies both to the cars from Mercedes-Benz and the new wheel creation from AEZ. The Portofino is only offered for the cars with the famous star. The wheel is available in elegant high-gloss silver or in sporty matte black with a polished front.

The luxury tuner wraps the fresh new silhouette completely in an aluminum-silver-gray high-tech film which provides more optical exclusivity to the new SL roadster.

In their specialty, the production of tailor-made, multi-part forged rims, the fine tuner installed the maximum possible wheel sizes of the type 6Sporz ² in the dimensions 9,5 x20″ with 245/30/20 at the front and at the rear 11,0 x20“ with 295/25 Continental Sport Contact 5P tires. Although the wheels could be configured in nearly unlimited color and surface finish combinations, Wheelsandmore adapted them to the overall picture, with matt black wheel center, combined with robust and easy-care stainless steel outer rims.

The suspension lowering is provided by the fully adjustable suspension module called LowMaXX, which shuts down to at a speed of 70 km / h to preserve the comfort and safety again. As the module is offered with a plug-and-play adapter solution, the installation is easily done within a few minutes.

With the new M278 engine and 435 hp standard performance, Mercedes Benz delivers the best arguments for already interested inclined to purchase. Wheelsandmore wouldn´t be a tuner if that performance couldn´t be increased even further. Optimizing the characteristics of the electronic control unit improves the performance of the R231 for additional 70hp and 100nm of torque up to 505hp and 800nm of torque in total.
As appropriate exhaustsystems and air filter components are currently under developement, there certainly will be higher upgrades to expect.

Unlike other retrofit sets for wing doors, LSD doors come with advanced technology and highest quality standards. One of the “Federal Motor Transport Authority” accredited laboratory confirmed by a side-crash test that the LSD solution patented in Germany is as secure as an original fitted door (standard door?). This means that the passenger safety during a side impact is ensured through the LSD system according to EU Directive 96/27/EG. The door hinges are a perfect fit due to the three-dimensional adjustments and the fact that the LSD doors are installed at the original fixing points. The original doors open with the LSD hinges first outwards and then gently glide upwards. The know-how of LSD is used by automotive manufacturers and industrial partners for the development of door hinges and fittings for exclusive special series.

Already in its basis version, the SLS provides a significant engine output. But the HAMANN engine department puts some additional power reserves into the V8 engine. Part of the power enhancement is the high-performance exhaust system made out of stainless steel. In combination with a sports air filter, this system also renders the earthy and powerful sound of the 6.2 litre aggregate. The components are precisely adjusted with the help of a new engine characteristic map for motor electronics. With a top performance of 636 hp / 468 kW and a maximum torque of 680 Nm at 4,850 r.p.m, the HAMANN engine exactly meets the wishes of its sports ambitious clientele. The performance enhanced wing door automobile provides first class mea sures. In race start mode, the two-seater accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.6 seconds and with a top speed of 320 km/h, the HAMANN HAWK Roadster also surpasses the basis model.
The superior driving performance is matched with a striking appearance and aerodynamics tested in the wind tunnel.

The HAMANN HAWK Roadster front apron replaces the serial bumper and due to its shape it reduces the uplifting forces at the front axle. Larger air inlets in connection with a new LED lights unit give the twoseater an even more dynamic look. In addition, the enlarged air inlets provide better access for the engine’s increased need for fresh air. Subsequently, the air is drawn out of new bonnet made of checkered flag carbon. Striking wing, 60mm on each front side and 70mm on each rear side, already render an impressive appearance even while the car has not started moving yet. Side skirts make the Convertible look additionally lower and more stretched and underline the rims. The new rear apron with the diffuser enhances the air flow under the bottom of the car and provides room for four enormous end pipes each measuring 90 mm in diameter.

In order to perfectly combine comfort and control, HAMANN uses the single-part, especially light forged wheels “Unique Forged Anodized“ in 21 inches. These are fitted in 9Jx21 with tyres measuring 245/30 ZR 21 at the front and 12.5Jx21 with tyres measuring 345/25 ZR 21 at the rear axle. The coilover kit has been especially refined for the HAMANN HAWK Roadster.

Equipped with four height-adjustable dampers and four progressively wound springs, the centre of gravity can be lowered by up to 30 millimetres. HAMANN entirely redesigns the interior of the SLS and turns it into a VIP lounge with motorsports characteristics. Most delicate leather and ultra-suede, applications and embroideries replace the serial interior. HAMANN additionally adorns the air inlets, door sill protectors and centre console with red coloured carbon. Black anodized aluminium pedals render a comfortable grip. The technical highlight of the new interior is the new steering wheel which has been ergonomically redesigned.

The BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800 seamlessly continues the tradition of high-performance supercars from Bottrop. Following in the footsteps of the BRABUS BULLIT supercars based on the Mercedes C-Class sedan, which each produced 730 hp (720 bhp) / 537 kW and reached top speeds in excess of 360 km/h (224 mph), the even more powerful BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800 has now been developed based on the new C-Class Coupe.

Numerous modifications to the reinforced C-Class body were necessary to implant the turbocharged V12 into the engine bay. The BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo engine is derived directly from the BRABUS E V12 one of ten. For this purpose an up-to-date Mercedes S 600 engine Motor is completely reengineered in the company engine building shop.

There is nothing to take the place of displacement except more displacement and for that reason displacement of the 12-cylinder, three-valve engine is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 384 cu. in.) with the help of a special crankshaft with longer stroke, larger, forged pistons and an increase in cylinder bore across the board. Intake and outlet ports of both cylinder heads are optimized for mixture flow, and fitted with sports camshafts.

The engine peripherals were also completely reworked completely. The inlet side features a newly designed, larger header casing that gets its combustion air from carbon-fiber ram-air intake system integrated into the hood.

To achieve the desired power increase of almost 300 hp over the production engine, the exhaust side had to be newly configured as well. The BRABUS 800 Biturbo system comprises two special exhaust manifolds with integrated high-performance turbochargers, and four water-to-air intercoolers. The stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts and driver-controlled butterfly valve also was created specifically for the C-Class Coupe floorpan.

State-of-the-art engine BRABUS test benches were used by the engineers for designing new mapping for engine electronics and on-board diagnostics. The result is maximum power yield while meeting strict current EURO V emission standards.

The BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo high-capacity engine, which like all BRABUS high-performance engines is lubricated exclusively with MOTUL synthetic motor oil, produces 800 PS (788 bhp) / 588 kW at 5,500 rpm. The peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) is limited electronically in the car to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).

Power is transferred to the rear wheels via an appropriately reinforced seven-speed automatic transmission, which is shifted either automatically or manually via shift paddles on the steering wheel, and a BRABUS limited-slip rear differential with a locking rate of 40 percent. The BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800 features all state-of-the-art driving dynamics systems such as ABS, ASR and ESP.

The matte-black stealth coupe delivers unrivaled performance: in a catapult start just 3.7 seconds pass from 0-100 km/h (62 mph), 9.8 seconds to 200 km/h (124 mph). The 300-km/h (186-mph) barrier is shattered after 23.8 seconds. Top speed is more than 370 km/h (230 mph).

To be able to attain such extreme speeds while maintaining outstanding directional stability, the aerodynamic properties of the two-door car were modified extensively in the wind tunnel. The supplemental carbon-fiber BRABUS front spoiler reduces lift on the front axle at high speeds. The carbon-fiber lightweight air routers for the air inlets in the front fascia go beyond optimizing the supply of cooling air for radiators and front brakes. These lateral air vents also allow the air streaming through the radiators to exit again as quickly as possible. Another significant contribution to the heat exchange in the engine bay is made by the BRABUS air vents integrated into the front fenders behind the wheel wells.

The BRABUS designers have developed an aerodynamically effective combination of rear wing and diffuser insert for the rear fascia in order to generate more downforce on the rear axle. This carbon-fiber component has cutouts on the right and left side for the dual ceramics-plated design tailpipes of the BRABUS stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system.

The thrilling looks of the BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800 is rounded out by the new BRABUS Monoblock R wheels. They represent a fresh approach with their unique design that features two times five double spokes arranged on two different plains. While the posterior plain has a titanium paint finish, the anterior surfaces are polished and coated with a smoke-colored clear lacquer, which lends the wheel a highly individual character. In sizes 8.5Jx20 in front and 9.5Jx20 on the rear axle the BRABUS Monoblock R wheels make perfect use of the available space in the wheel wells. The high-performance tires in sizes 235/30 ZR 20 and 275/25 ZR 20 are supplied by technology partners Continental, Pirelli or YOKOHAMA.

The height-adjustable coilover suspension was custom developed for the BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800 in cooperation with technology partner BILSTEIN. It features gas-pressure shocks on front and rear axle with ten selectable settings each for bound and rebound for a sporty yet comfortable ride. Sport sway bars reduce body roll during fast cornering to a minimum.

The BRABUS high-performance brake system consists of vented and grooved steel brake discs that measure 380 x 37 millimeters (15.0 x 1.45 in.) and 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers in the front. In combination with vented and grooved steel discs measuring 360 x 28 millimeters (14.2 x 1.1 in.) and six-piston fixed aluminum calipers on the rear axle it easily masters even highest brake loads.

The cockpit of the supercar has a distinctly sporty design. The interior was clad by the BRABUS master craftsmen in the upholstery shop in a combination of black leather and Alcantara to match the outer skin. Red contrasting seams add discrete sporty highlights. This look is rounded out by genuine carbon-fiber components on the dashboard, center console and door trim. Further sporty features are the ergonomically shaped BRABUS sport steering wheel as well as aluminum pedals and shifter.

The BRABUS designers have come up with an especially innovative styling for the new one-piece Monoblock R wheel. Two sets of five double spokes are arranged in two plains. Elaborate machining and a special paint finish ensure maximum effect of this spoke arrangement.

While the inner set of spokes is painted a “Liquid Titanium” shade, the outer spokes are diamond-polished and afterwards sealed with a smoke-colored clear lacquer, lending the wheel its very own character.

The new BRABUS Monoblock R wheels are available in six different sizes from 8.5Jx18 to 10Jx22. This allows installing this new wheel design on almost all latest Mercedes-Benz automobiles from the new B-Class to the GL-Class. The optimal high-performance tires in each respective size are supplied by BRABUS technology partners Continental, Pirelli or YOKOHAMA.
