It seems Brabus wanted to do something different this time around. Instead of doing its magic on the usual suspects, it chose the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid.

Of course, since we are talking about Brabus here, the key feature of the tuned Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid is its reconfigured combustion engine. Based on the press release of the tuner, it transformed the output of the hybrid car’s 3.0-liter V6 turbo engine from 328 hp to 379 hp.

Rebellion Automotive Lets the Monster Out of the Mercedes A45 AMG

Giancarlo Perlas May 27, 2015

The Mercedes A45 AMG may be a cub compared to its stockier brothers in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. Despite its size, it does pack quite a punch from its 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine with an output of 360 hp and 450 Nm of torque. It’s fast though it could be easily dwarfed by pure sports cars with V8 or V12 engines under their hoods. But a new tuning package for the auto might change your perception on it. Recently, Rebellion Automotive revealed its work on the Mercedes A45 AMG through MBWorld Forums. The car received the group’s stage two tuning package with their signature ECU flash. The resulting output was at 460 hp and 630 Nm…. Continue Reading »
