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.
The processor-driven BRABUS PowerXtra auxiliary control unit is designed as a 'plug & play'
device that can be installed in less than 30 minutes by any authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.
