2001 Brabus ML 5.8

The displacement increase to 5.8 liters is accomplished with the help of a special cylinder block, a new crankshaft with a longer stroke and larger pistons. In addition the cylinder heads are reworked, special camshafts and a metal catalyst are installed and the engine electronics are re-tuned.

The BRABUS sport exhaust with four tailpipes further optimizes power output and creates an even more powerful sound.
