Mercedes-Benz C220 CDI by BRABUS

An increase in maximum power output from standard 170 PS (168 hp) / 125 kW to 220 PS (217 hp) / 162 kW, a jump in torque from 400 Nm to 480 Nm (295 to 354 lb-ft), combined with maximum environmental friendliness in accordance with Euro IV emission limits, and all that backed by the one-of-a-kind BRABUS Tuning Warranty of three years, up to 100,000 kilometers (see BRABUS warranty conditions): For the new Mercedes-Benz C 220 CDI BRABUS presents the new BRABUS POWER XTRA D3 S power kit.



The processor-controlled BRABUS auxiliary control unit with integrated injector drive module comes with a ready-to-connect wire harness and detailed installation instructions. It can be installed quickly and easily by any authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer. The BRABUS POWER XTRA D3 S tuning kit works flawlessly in conjunction with the standard particulate filter of the C 220 CDI and increases maximum power output by 50 PS (49 hp) / 36.8 kW and peak torque by 80 Nm (59 lb-ft). Despite the increased performance emissions of the turbodiesel engine remain on the low level of the production car: Even with BRABUS performance tuning the car meets stringent EURO IV emission standards.

The added powerful of the tuned diesel engine is noticeable in every traffic situation: The increase in torque gives the C 220 CDI superior pulling power even at low engine speeds, making passing maneuvers shorter and safer.
Vehicle performance speaks for itself: With a sprint time from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) of 7.8 seconds the C 220 CDI with BRABUS D3 S performance kit takes almost a full second less than the production car. The top speed of 239 km/h (149 mph) exceeds that of the production model by 10 km/h (6 mph).

The fully stainless-steel BRABUS quad sport exhaust for the Mercedes C 220 CDI looks great and gives the car a more powerful exhaust note.

In addition to performance tuning BRABUS offers an extensive customization program for the new Mercedes C-Class. The product range includes a sporty yet elegantly shaped aerodynamic-enhancement kit, sporty suspension modifications from a simple lowering kit to a complete sports suspension, high-performance brake systems as well as exclusive interior accessories including handcrafted fully leather interiors made from only the very best materials with utmost precision and loving attention to detail.

BRABUS Tuning for the new Mercedes E-Class Wagon

Top-of-the-line version for the six-cylinder models E 240 and E 320 is the BRABUS 3.8 V6 increased-displacement engine. Displacement is increased to 3.8 liters thanks to a custom crankshaft with longer stroke, larger pistons and a corresponding increase in bore. The BRABUS engine conversion also comprises custom camshafts and precision re-machining of the three valve cylinder heads plus reprogrammed engine electronics that take into account these modifications. The BRABUS 3.8 V6 engine conversion elevates the new wagon to a unique performance level: Maximum power output jumps from 224 hp / 165 kW to 280 hp / 206 kW at 5,750 rpm. At the same time maximum torque grows to 390 Nm between 3,000 and 4,500 rpm. Performance of the five-door benefits accordingly: The tuned wagon accelerates in just 7.9 seconds to 100 km/h; top speed is 249 km/h.



BRABUS engine tuning is also available for all new E-Class wagons with common-rail turbodiesel engines. The BRABUS D3 performance module was developed for the E 220 CDI. It increases maximum power output from 150 hp / 110 kW to 177 hp / 130 kW, and boosts maximum torque from 340 Nm to 380 Nm at just 2,000 rpm.

The E 270 CDI also exhibits a notable power increase with BRABUS D4 Tuning: After the conversion the engine develops 215 hp / 158 kW at 4,200 rpm and produces a maximum torque of 475 Nm, which is available between 1,800 and 2,600 rpm.

The E 320 CDI with BRABUS D6 performance kit delivers 250 hp / 184 kW at 4,200 rpm, surpassing the production engine by 46 hp / 33,9 kW. Just as powerful is the increase in torque: Between 1,800 and 2,600 rpm the engine produces 540 Nm instead of normally 500 Nm. Thus equipped the tuned diesel accelerates in just 7.7 seconds to 100 km/h and reaches a top speed of 242 km/h.

BRABUS also offers custom-tailored stainless-steel sport exhaust systems for all available engines of the new Mercedes E-Class wagon. The E 220 CDI can be fitted with a sport rear muffler with dual tailpipes, while a BRABUS sport exhausts with four tailpipes is available for all other models.

To add a more sporty emphasis to the elegant lines of the new E-Class wagon the BRABUS designers developed a strikingly styles aerodynamic enhancement kit manufactured from Pur-R- Rim in OEM quality. The new front bumper with integrated spoiler doesn't simply look great with its choice of two or four auxiliary headlights. It also reduces lift on the front axle, thus improving directional stability at high speeds. The BRABUS side sills give the wagon a longer, sleeker appearance and offer an additional interesting feature: Pushing a button on the keyless-entry remote or pulling on the door handle activates entry lights integrated into the underside of the sills. These lights illuminate the ground next to the vehicle, making entering and exiting the car in the dark safer. The strikingly styles BRABUS rear apron complements the BRABUS sport exhausts system and completes the car's elegant yet sporty appearance.

Just as important for a customized appearance are BRABUS Monoblock IV, V and VI light-alloy wheels, which are available in various designs in sizes from 17 to 20 inches. The largest possible combination on the new E-Class uses multi-piece BRABUS Monoblock V or VI wheels in sizes 8.5Jx19 on the front axle and 9.5Jx20 in the rear. These wheels are mounted with high- performance tires in sizes 245/35 ZR 19 in front and 255/30 ZR 20 on the rear axle.

There are also a number of BRABUS suspension solutions developed in cooperation with SACHS Race Engineering. They include a lowering kit, sporty yet comfortable complete suspensions and a custom control module for the vehicles equipped with the optional air suspension

The BRABUS high-performance brake system features 360-millimeter disks and six-piston aluminum calipers on the front axle and four-piston calipers in the rear.

Unadulterated luxury and individuality in the interior is yet another BRABUS specialty. The list of options includes stainless-steel sill plates, ergonomically shaped safety steering wheels with airbag, and exclusive BRABUS fully leather interiors crafted from a combination of soft yet durable BRABUS Mastik leather and Alcantara.

To round out the program for the new model series, BRABUS also offers the BRABUS multimedia package with DVD player, game console and LCD monitors, integrated into the front headrests. Upon customer request BRABUS converts the new E-Class wagon into a fully functional office on wheels with power-operated tables, fax, phone and computer system.

Smart fortwo Brabus RED edition

The fortwo Brabus edition red, available in both coupe and cabrio flavas. Is the latest in a long line of special editions aimed at putting some spark into the rather tired ultra-mini city car. Tuning division Brabus, however, has done wonders with the smart range in the past, and this quirky little three-cylinder machine generates 74bhp, is completely red, comes with 16in alloys and a full bodykit



Standard equipment includes semi-auto transmission, leather seats, dashboard and door trims with red contrast stitching, 3-spoke leather sports steering wheel with steering wheel gearshift paddles, air-con, front fog lights, twin sports exhaust with heat shield and audio package.

A spokesman said: “There’s never been a smart fortwo quite like it. This distinctive and exclusive special edition will appeal to customers who want to stand out from the crowd and enjoy the fun-packed performance that a Brabus-tuned engine can offer”.

BRABUS B63 S

Even more power for all Mercedes 63 AMG models: BRABUS presents its B63 S engine tuning, which boosts power output of the high-revving 6.2-liter V8 to 550 hp / 404 kW and peak torque to 650 Nm. With a sprint time from rest to 100 km/h of just 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 330 km/h a CLS 63 AMG with B63 S tuning turns in performance worthy of a true super sports car.

The BRABUS power kit comprises newly programmed engine electronics with special mapping for injection and ignition. But that’s not all: The intake side features a sport air filter for improved supply of combustion air. The exhaust side features high-performance metal catalysts with low back pressure that also ensure that the tuned V8 engine meets stringent EURO IV emission limits.

In order to transfer the increased power to the road with minimum slip BRABUS recommends the BRABUS locking differential for all Mercedes 63 models with rear wheel drive. The diff lock has a locking rate of up to 40 percent.

The BRABUS B63 S performance kit is available for all Mercedes 63 AMG models. With 550 hp / 404 kW the ML 63 accelerates in 4.9 seconds from 0 -100 km/h and reaches a top speed of 275 km/h in combination with the BRABUS V/max unit.




This extraordinary performance represents a good argument for modifications to tires, suspension and brakes. Depending on the Mercedes 63 AMG model in question BRABUS offers custom-tailored tire/wheel combinations up to size 11Jx23 with tires up to 315/25 R 23 in size. To further improve the already excellent handling characteristics BRABUS has developed a control module for the ABC suspensions that lowers the ride height by some 20 millimeters. BRABUS sport stabilizers reduce body roll and optimize turn-in.

The BRABUS high-performance brake system offers stopping power and endurance normally only found in purebred sports cars. It is available for all Mercedes 63 AMG models, upon customer request even in a special version with ceramic discs. The front axle features 380 x 36 millimeter discs and 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers. The rear axle is fitted with six-piston fixed calipers and 355 x 28 mm brake discs.

The list of BRABUS exclusive interior accessories ranges from genuine carbon-fiber trim and scuff plates with illuminated BRABUS logo to ergonomically shaped sport steering wheels and a speedometer with 360-km/h dial.

Upon customer request the company-own upholstery shop crafts especially exclusive BRABUS interiors from a combination of especially soft yet highly durable BRABUS Mastik leather and Alcantara.

Mercedes-Benz C220 CDI by BRABUS

BRABUS has announced its D3 S POWER XTRA tuning kit for Mercedes-Benz's new C220 CDI sedan. The Euro-market oil-burner sees a marked improvement in performance after installation, with power jumping from 168 hp/295 lb-ft to 217 horses and a stout 354 lb-ft of torque. On the road, this shaves a full second off the run to 100 km/h (62 mph), which takes 7.8 seconds post-modification. The car's top speed increases to 149 mph, a 6 mph gain. Despite the added performance, emissions remain at the same Euro IV-compliant levels as the factory-stock C220 CDI. Installation can be performed at any Mercedes-Benz dealer's service department. Naturally, BRABUS would love for buyers of the power kit to pony up for additional accessories like the tuner's sport exhaust and bodywork modifications, but they're certainly not required.
