Brabus has put their special tuner touch on Mercedes' mini-SUV the GLA, and I dare say it's refreshingly conservative by their standards. Big ass forged wheels, a body kit, engine tuning and an option to lift or lower the cute ute are part of the package.

Brabus dials up the power on the diesel GLA 220 CDI with the ECO PowerXtra D3 chip, adding 40 horsepower (up to 210) and putting torque at 302 lb.-ft. That gives the diesel GLA a 0-62 time of eight seconds and a top speed of 137 MPH.
Brabus also has a PowerXtra for the the four cylinder turbo gasoline GLA. The CGI B45 kit for the GLA 45 AMG gives the cute ute 400 horsepower and369 lb.-ft. of torque. 0-62 in 4.4 seconds, top speed raised to 168 MPH.
