Brabus used to be known for tuning AMGs until they were faster than jets. But now, all their money comes from the Mercedes-AMG G63. And it was only a matter of time before armored luxury SUVs became part of their repertoire.
It’s June already, and we here at autoevolution are kicking off our AMG Month coverage. That means you should get ready for a flood of AMG-flavored cars coming your way from all the fields the German performance car brand is involved in. That includes a comprehensive look at the complete lineup of Mercedes-AMG cars—and given how the company is very keen on naming its products after the letters of the alphabet, we’ll kick off the proceedings with the A-Class.
Performance exclusivity meets the free-spirited attitude towards life as an ethos, according to Mercedes-AMG and skateboard/streetwear brand Palace, so it’s no wonder they decided to join forces on such common ground. That means you can now have both motorsport traits and street skateboarding at the same time, thanks to their new cooperation.
Penned by Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi, the W113 is a timeless design that’s very hot on the classic car market. Built from 1963 to 1971 in less than 49,000 units, the SL from that generation was offered with three straight-six mills and up to 168 horsepower from the largest engine.
