Among the big and powerful, A.R.T. is accompanying the new GL from Mercedes-Benz on its triumphal march. The Nuremberg tuning specialists have developed a still wider program of components for upgrading this luxury vehicle. The program is named after that behemoth of yore, the mammoth.

Dreams of strength and atavistic instincts are conjured up by the distinctive new exterior that A.R.T. developers have given this premium class SUV.

In the front skirt, large-nostriled air inlets, an innovative front-grille and a wider area overall elicit the deserved respect from obervers. A Triple Beam Lamp Set with an additional Xenon high-beam headlight, daylight lamp in LED technology and a dual-function unit for cornerlight and fog lights boost the charisma of the vehicle’s front while providing the driver with that extra passive safety for nighttime driving. The optimally proportioned new broadened front fenders each incorporate an gill.

The modfied A.R.T. BiXENON Headlamp System NERO provides the finishing touch to the combative front image of the already powerful vehicle.

In the rear region, the vehicle also impresses with its broadened fenders with gills. These incorporate red rear LED lights that are automatically activated while any of the doors are open.
An avantgarde 5-part rear frame including an integrated roof spoiler brilliantly enhances the design and provides more passive safety with its wide LED brake light strip.
The A.R.T. rear skirt with an integrated diffusor gives the GL MAMMUT a clear width advantage and, in conjunction with the A.R.T. four-pipe sports exhaust, makes an even more powerful impression on drivers behind. The high-polish hard-chromed 100mm tail pipe with A.R.T. logos embossed in the tailpieces provide the seal of quality. Two stainless-steel high-quality rear mufflers ensure the sound is right.

The exclusive A.R.T. STEPLIGHTS project light across the running boards whatever the light conditions and clearly mark the point of access to the vehicle even when the doors are closed if the key is activated. Then, parallel light-blue beam segments shine out through the filigree openings in the highly polished stainless steel.

The light-blue illuminated Entry Ledges with the A.R.T. logo made from finely polished and brushed stainless steel make for a well-groomed appearance and assist entry into the vehicle.

To get you ahead: The A.R.T. engine performance for CDI versions offers electronic performance optimization of the motor control. It squeezes around another 20% of speed out of those already powerful series engines. Performance optimization will be available soon for the V6 and V8 petrol engines. More performance, better dynamics, especially in the low speed range with lower fuel consumption. Two unbeatable arguments for tuning the performance of your diesel engine: your wallet and ... our environment.

The electronic A.R.T. suspension system for the series Airmatic chassis lowers the vehicle height by 35mm and can be individually adjusted up to 60 mm. All other built-in chassis control functions remain unchanged.

For the wheel concept, A.R.T. proposes its 22-inch monoART1 light-alloy rims for the GL MAMMUT, with a special coating to match the vehicle color.  Matching tire sizes are available in dimensions up to 315/30R22.

The A.R.T. sports steering wheel is ergonomically shaped and accentuated with perforated grips. A fine selection of possible combinations: leather/fine wood, leather/leather, leather/alcantara, or leather/carbon fiber offer multiple variations for the interior design of the GL cockpit. There are no limits to the individualization that is possible.

The GL MAMMUT from A.R.T. is all in all living proof of stylish power, sophisticated comfort, and compact design in what is a well-proportioned departure from series culture.

BRABUS: Widestar almost ready for production

There was absolutely no doubt in the mind of Professor Bodo Buschmann, President of Mercedes customization specialist BRABUS, “Even in the face of the extreme rework that characterizes the vehicles at SEMA, we were going to stick firmly to our principles and go for a more practicable solution. Our GLKWidestar grabs attention with its stunning appearance, while at the same time, offering a high degree of everyday usability in all conditions.” And thus, it is fair to say that, among the four tuning competitors, the GLKWidestar represents the “European” solution. The SUV was conceived by development engineers on the basis of automotive pragmatism that stands by classic Mercedes-Benz characteristics. The Widestar is an interpretation of the GLKas an on-road machine with corner-hugging agility that also pays tribute to the high levels of refinement associated with Mercedes vehicles.

That doesn’t mean that the BRABUS GLK is merely a “good boy” among the SEMA stars. Far from it - one look is all it takes to capture the muscular stance of the Widestar bodyshell, which has been broadened by 50mm, incorporating beautifully integrated flared wheel arches that carry through to the front of the vehicle with distinctive air intake fins. Customised front and rear bumpers, LED daytime running lights, side skirts, a roof spoiler with LED lights (position lights) and all-new LED lighting units above the front windshield complete the reworked bodyshell. A custom paint process adds an unparalleled depth of lustre to the black paint finish. “It was an interesting challenge,” comments Ulrich Gauffrés, Head of Research and Development at BRABUS, “to bring even more fascination to the already distinctive GLK. Our Widestar underscores the characteristic edge of the original GLK-Class design.”

The flared wheel arches are home to 21 inch wheels clad in 295/30 ZR 21 rubber. Together with the BRABUS chassis kit that lowers ride height by 30 mm, and a high-performance brake system, the Widestar demonstrates the true on-road potential of the GLK-Class. The necessary propulsion is provided courtesy of a reworked V6 diesel engine based on the 320 BlueTEC unit with ground-breaking AdBlue technology from other models currently available in the USA. Thanks to the ECOPowerXtra tuning kit, the Widestar engine generates 190 kW/258 hp and delivers 610 Nm of torque. All of this comes together to provide outstanding performance figures. The dash from 0-100 km/h is over in 6.9 seconds and the Widestar powers on to reach a top speed of 240 km/h. Despite the increase in performance, the Widestar remains well within the most stringent emissions standards set in Europe (EU5) and the U.S.(BIN 5 / ULEV). At an average of 8.4 litres per 100 km (NEDC), fuel consumption is also extremely modest*.

The completely reworked interior of the BRABUS GLK Widestar celebrates the very highest levels of automotive interior design. Artisans at the BRABUS workshop have clad the cabin with a total of 50 square metres of soft, semi-aniline leather. The luxurious all-leather trim also includes diagonal stitching on the seating, door panels and the entire vehicle floor - all in cognac. To avoid glare in the windshield and side windows, the upper surfaces of the dashboard and door panels are finished in black leather. The alcantara upholstery of the roof lining is also finished in black, with piano black wood trim, a sports steering wheel and aluminium sports pedals completing the overall impact of the interior. Should rear seat passengers require additional entertainment, the multimedia system mounted in the front seat backs provides relief with a DVD player and 7-inch monitors.

Interior, bodyshell and technology come together in the BRABUS GLKWidestar to create a refined overall image that is as impressive on the show stand in Las Vegasas it is in everyday operation. Bodo Buschmann is certain of this, “Our BRABUS GLKWidestar may be a show car created specifically for SEMAin Las Vegas, but our technical solution meets legislative requirements in both Europeand the U.S.With sufficient interest from the public, the Widestar can become a reality.”
