Brabus GLK V12 gives the Mercedes-Benz a top speed of 211 mph

Tuning icon Brabus likes its reputation for setting global records for fastest cars and this time, it has done it again with this Mercedes-Benz GLK V12. The vehicle is able to go from 0 - 100km/h in 4.2 seconds and 0 - 200km/h in 12.8 seconds.

Two months ago, this car was tested for top speed at an Italian high-speed track where it posted 322.3 km/h (211 mph), making it the fastest street-legal SUV in the world, according to its press release. Brabus had fitted the GLK with a massive 6.3-litre V12 bi-turbo engine with two large turbochargers, more efficient intercoolers, free-flow metal catalysts and a stainless steel exhaust system.

The press release was wrong in one place. The top speed actually converts to 200.3 mph.

I for one am glad for the second article about top speed. Hopefully if I see one it will pass me going this fast so my retinas are not damaged too much in the process.

Perhaps the dumbest automotive idea in history.

As ugly as I first thought it was it has grown a bit on me. But now entirely though. It's alright but not the greatest. Not the ugliest either but no where near being handsome.
