2012 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG Brabus B63S Widestar

It’s always fun to look at those crazy fast SUV from Mercedes-AMGs past and given they’ve been pumping them out for over 20 years now, there are quite a few. However, when you happen to see one for sale that is tuned by the madmen over at Brabus, you take an extra close look. That is what I thought was going on with this 2012 ML63 AMG with the B63S Widestar kit. Someone spent a pile of money to tack on the extra bodywork and paint it, no matter how you feel about its looks. However, I was quite surprised when I looked under the hood.

As you can see in the photo above, that M157 engine is lacking all the extra Brabus goodies. That means we are left with a vehicle that has all the bark of a Brabus build, but none of the bite. Granted, the 550 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque from the factory ML63 is more than enough, but this is a real letdown considering how much this bodywork much have cost. Also, those wheels are a little disappointing considering they aren’t from Brabus either.

As for the price, $38,000 seems to be in line given this one has a pile of miles on it. I don’t think you can really ask a premium for the bodywork given it isn’t all that attractive and a little ugly with the contrasting silver, plus the number of people who know what Brabus is can’t be many at all. A cool piece, but rather disappointing.

    How to not build a Brabus car. Spend all your money on the bodykit, then have none left over for the paint/interior/drivetrain.

    Is Brabus competing with Mansory to see who can make the ugliest vehicle?

    Seriously, maybe they didn’t do the Brabus engine because it would require shipping it to Germany?

    I mean, weren’t these made in Alabama? So you would have to ship it to Germany to get the Brabus engine. The body kit could probably be shipped over and installed by any aftermarket yahoo.
