Brabus Worked on the new Mercedes B-Class

by Clarissa (RSS feed) February 6th, 2012 at 6:04 pm

Tuner Brabus is a company who likes laying their hands on Mercedes-Benz cars. It is no longer surprising that they chose the Mercedes B-Class to be their new project.

Brabus worked on the rear and front spoilers, lowered the customized wheels and put a 4-flow exhaust system. The tires are sized 225/35 R19 on the front and the 245/30 R19 on the rear. The sports exhaust system is available in B180 CDI, B200 CDI, B180 and B200 with 4 tailpipes in 76mm and 1x rear silencer.

The information above are just primer, we think, as Brabus have not released other specifications yet. We will post it as soon as we get more news.

Premier Mercedes tuner Brabus once again shows why it is one of, if not the top go to company for customizing your Mercedes. Its version of the SLS AMG Roadster typically adds performance and distinctive looks to this open-top supercar.

For starters, the V8 is upgraded with a sports exhaust which feature larger quad pipes, as well as a remapped ECU. Together, these mods combine to give the engine a loftier output of 611 horsepower from the stock 571. In addition, Brabus’ Ride Control System allows the driver to select from several damper settings as well as lower the car during high-speed runs. Conversely, a front lift system allows the front suspension to be raised by 50mm so that the car can clear obstacles such as speed bumps without scraping its expensive nose.

Expectedly, Brabus has also installed its Monoblock F Platinum Edition forged wheels. These are a staggered size, using 20 inches for the front and 21 inches for the rear. Finishing off the package is a carbon fiber aerodynamics kit that, depending on the customer’s preference comes in high-gloss or matte finish.

Brabus G-Class SUV Is A Sporty Red Brawler

by Emmanuel (RSS feed) September 15th, 2011 at 7:18 pm

Red is a color normally synonymous with sports cars and is a color not usually associated with Mercedes cars. But Brabus, as it usually does, has defied convention with this red G-Class, which fairly screams for attention with its all-red bodywork, including the grille and side mirrors. Contrasting black wheels make this Brabus Widestar-influenced SUV looking as aggressive as it can be.

Knowing Brabus and its customers with big wallets, its safe to assume that performance upgrades are present in this sporty G-Class and unlike other low-slung sports cars that are limited to smooth pavement, this rugged beast can keep on going where the road ends.

Brabus Zero Emission Presents Full Electric 4WD

official brabus high performance 4wd full electric based on eclass 009 597x396 Brabus Zero Emission Presents Full Electric 4WD

You know electric cars are really in our future when premier Mercedes tuner Brabus not only develops an EV, but sets up a division to develop such vehicles, called Brabus Zero Emission. One of its first developments that has been made public at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show is its E-Class based 4WD Full Electric concept car.

Compared to the supercar performance that Brabus cars normally show, this car can be best described as having adequate performance, hitting 0-100 km/h in just under 7 seconds. But having a top speed of 220 km/h without emitting a single gram of CO2 or any other particulate is performance of a different sort.

Notably, it has a range of 350 kilometers, and can be recharged from a 220V AC outlet, so it’s a very practical car that’s not necessarily limited to an urban environment. Since it’s a Mercedes E-Class, one can expect the high standard of comfort and luxury Benzes are known for. In addition, the electrive drive means a ride orders of magnitude quieter and smoother than a car driven by a conventional engine.

Brabus delivers with updates for the E-Class and E63 AMG

by Kharl Prado (RSS feed) September 12th, 2011 at 7:42 am

Mercedes-Benz specialists at Brabus have spent a lot of time in the wind tunnel trying to come up with various ways to outclass everything that AMG has done to its sports cars. Whether it’s in the looks department or performance wise, these guys have always managed to outdo and come up with the unthinkable. Well, guess what? They’ve done it once again.

Their latest kit is meant for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and includes a sporty lip which attaches to the stock AMG front apron. It’s designed to reduce lift at the front wheel axles to help stabilize corner steering and straight line driving at high speeds. There’s also the rear diffuser and spoiler mounted on the trunk’s lid as well as a central reflector. In line with AMG’s design, these have cutouts for the tailpipes on both sides to fit the stock exhaust or that of Brabus’ quad sport exhaust system.

There’s also the aerodynamic update for the E63 AMG. Brabus is offering a front spoiler lip, made of carbon fiber, of course, plus custom-tailored air ducts that give the side outlets of the AMG apron a more intense appearance.

Enough said, guys. Check out the gallery for the full preview.
