Brabus has had a go at making the GLA 45 AMG faster and what they’ve come up with is an absolute monster.

After Brabus fiddled with the engine, it improved the power output to 300kW and 500Nm of torque. This allows for a 0-100km sprint in 4,4 seconds and a top-speed of 270km/h.

A Brabus body kit completes the package and we have to say, it looks absolutely stunning.

The Brabus GLA might become available in SA in a few months, as a certain dealership is looking at importing Brabus vehicles into SA.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
