Brabus K8 Mercedes-Benz CLS55

By Motortrend

In big cities across America, the "it" car is the sleek CLS from Mercedes-Benz. The CLS is even better when dressed for success in optional AMG attire that includes a raucous 5.5-liter supercharged V-8, sport suspension, and massive brakes. But, for some, even the creases on AMG's trousers aren't sharp enough, so the automotive aftermarket is ready to help.

Brabus, one of the best-known Mercedes-Benz tuners, offers a host of hot hardware to amplify the already stunning CLS55. We tested Brabus's K8 version, seasoned with equal portions of power, looks, and handling.



Underhood, thrust is up a reported 81 ponies thanks to a titanium pulley that overdrives the factory twin-screw supercharger, high-flow air filters, and special spark/fuel calibration ($13,500 with warranty). Brabus improves venting via its larger-diameter stainless-steel exhaust system ($3195) breathing through less-restrictive mufflers. Around town, the K8 remains quiet and undercover. Yet, planting your right foot produces 550 horses along with a sinister exhaust growl. Good luck getting the car to hook up with aggressive throttle application, though, as the Brabus-tuned 5.5-liter V-8 cooks the Michelin rear meats better than a George Foreman grill.

Brabus reprogrammed the CLS's electronic suspension ($1495) to deliver a 1.5-inch-lower ride height for improved center of gravity and a more aggressive look. Choose between Brabus Monoblock VI ($8600) or Monoblock S ($5780) 20x9.0-inch (front) and 20x10.5-inch (rear) light alloy wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires ($1100), 255/30ZR20 (front) and 295/25ZR20 (rear). The wheel/tire combo looks stunning, though 20-plus-inch-diameter wheels often hurt performance. Such was the case in our K8 testing. Although ride quality proved surprisingly smooth with the tiny 30- and 25-series sidewalls, on the track the big rolling stock didn't improve straight-line or cornering performance. To be fair, the K8's bulging 550 horsepower did nothing to help the search for traction. During acceleration and handling tests, even slightly too much throttle spun the rear PS2s as if they were slathered in Crisco.

Brabus T13 CL 600

Source - Brabus
Concurrent with the market introduction of the new Mercedes CL-Class, Brabus presents an extensive and exclusive tuning program.

Engine tuning with up to 730 bhp, 21-inch light-alloy wheels and sporty yet elegant aerodynamic-enhancement parts are on the available-options list. Also available are a sport suspension, a high-performance brake system and exclusive interior appointments.

The top performance level from Brabus for the CL 600 is the Brabus SV12 S Biturbo engine. To increase swept volume from standard 5.5 to 6.3 liters the engine block is reworked and fitted with a special crankshaft with longer stroke, and with larger, forged pistons. The inlet and outlet ports of both cylinder heads are machined for optimal gas flow further aided by four special camshafts.



The Brabus engine specialists further equip the motor with larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooling system and a stainless-steel high-performance quad exhaust with low-back-pressure metal catalysts. Newly programmed engine electronics ensure perfect interaction of all new components, and contribute not only to maximizing power yield but also to meeting strict current emission limits.

The maximum power output of 730 bhp at 5,100 rpm represents a superlative for the Brabus SV12 S Biturbo engine as does the peak torque of 873 lb-ft at 2,100 rpm. In the vehicle peak torque is limited electronically to 810 lb-ft.

These extraordinary performance figures make the Brabus SV12 S coupe not just one of the most powerful but also one of the fastest GT's in the world. 0 - 60 bph in 3.9 seconds, 124 mph after just 11.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 211 mph speak volumes.

Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a modified five-speed automatic transmission. An optional Brabus rear locking differential optimizes traction.

To add more sporty emphasis to the elegant lines of the new C 216-series Mercedes coupe the Brabus designers have developed an aerodynamic-enhancement kit, manufactured from high-quality PUR-R-RIM in OEM quality.

The Brabus front bumper was shaped in the wind tunnel. Its sophisticated shape reduces lift on the front axle. The large central air dam optimizes cooling of engine and front brakes. Integrated fog lamps and high beams give the car a more charismatic appearance and improve active safety through better illumination of the roadway.

The Brabus rocker panels were designed to optimize airflow along the vehicle's sides. As a useful additional feature these panels come with integrated entrance lights.

The bolt-on rear fascia is designed to perfectly integrate the fully stainless-steel Brabus quad sports exhaust into the rear appearance. The rear fascia also features three LED lights recessed in the underside of the fascia. They are activated when the trunk lid is opened and facilitate loading and unloading the trunk in the dark. An understated rear spoiler rounds out the sophisticated Brabus aerodynamics concept.

Just as important for a customized appearance and for sporty handling are custom-tailored wheels. The new CL can be fitted with Brabus Monoblock light-alloy wheels in various width and design with 18-, 19-, 20- and 21-inch diameters. The largest tire/wheel combination for the C 216 series are Brabus Monoblock VI and E wheels in sizes 9Jx21 in front and 10.5Jx21 on the rear axle. For optimal tires Brabus selected Pirelli and Yokohama high-performance tires in sizes 255/30 ZR21 in front and 285/30 ZR21 in the rear.

Specifically matched to this tire/wheel combination is the Brabus lowering module for the standard ABC suspension. It lowers the ride height of the two-door by about an inch.

To keep the exceptional performance safely in check at all times the Mercedes can be fitted with a Brabus high-performance brake system. The top-of-the-line version features 12-piston fixed aluminum calipers and 380 x 36-millimeter vented and cross-drilled discs on the front axle. The rear axle decelerates with 355 x 28-millimeter discs and six-piston fixed aluminum calipers.

The interior of the new Mercedes coupe offers numerous opportunities for exclusive Brabus treatments. The list of products ranges from door sills with Brabus logo to ergonomically shaped sport steering wheels to an exclusive Brabus fully leather interior crafted from especially soft yet durable Brabus Mastik leather and the finest Alcantara.

Brabus S 600

Engine tuning of up to 730 hp and s sporty designer outfit: In a very special and exclusive world debut at the 2005 Essen Motor Show, Brabus presents an extensive customization program for the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Naturally Brabus also offers powerful engine tuning for the new models in the W 221 series, backed by the one-of-a-kind Brabus tuning warranty of three years up to 100,000 kilometers.

The pinnacle of powerful engine tuning is the Brabus S V12 S Biturbo engine. Its displacement is increased to 6233 cc with the help of a custom crankshaft, a larger cylinder bore and forged pistons. The inner workings of the engine are also modified extensively: gas flow in intake and outlet ports of both cylinder heads is optimized, and the engine is fitted with sports camshafts.



The Brabus engine specialists further equip the engine with larger turbochargers, more efficient intercoolers and a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with four tailpipes and metal catalysts with low backpressure. Newly programmed engine electronics ensure not only the optimal synchronization of all new components but also contribute to maximum power yield and to meeting all current emission limits.

The Brabus S V12 S Biturbo engine develops a whopping 730 hp / 537 kW at 5100 rpm. The peak torque of 1320 Nm is limited electronically to 1100 Nm, available from a low 2100 rpm.

Without sacrificing running smoothness the luxury sedan thus turns into a serious challenger for the world's fastest sports cars: 0 – 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, 200 km/h after just 11.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 340 km/h make the sedan with Brabus S V12 S Biturbo displacement engine are truly special driving experience.

Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a modified five-speed automatic transmission. The optional Brabus locking differential further optimizes traction. All BRABUS drivetrain components are operated with Aral high-performance lubricants.

Sporty sound and thrilling looks are the main characteristics of the Brabus sport exhaust systems with four tailpipes. The fully stainless-steel exhausts are available for all engine variants of the S-Class.

Brabus also offer custom-tailored designer outfits for the new S-Class. To give the luxury sedan an even more striking face there is a sporty-looking front apron complete with auxiliary headlights. As an alternative the standard front of the S-Class can be refined with the addition of the Brabus carbon front spoiler. Both versions are wind-tunnel-tested and reduce lift at high speeds. There are also custom-tailored auxiliary headlight inserts for the standard front bumper that each house two fog lamps and two high-beams.

The Brabus sill trim and the rear apron, both with integrated LED lights, are as attractive as they are useful. Upon activation via keyless-entry remote or by pulling on the inside door handle five LED lights on either side and in the rear illuminate the ground around the vehicle, making exiting and entering the car and loading or unloading the trunk in the dark safer. The rear apron further features custom cutouts for the four tailpipes of the Brabus sport exhaust.

The exclusive Brabus look for the new Mercedes S-Class is rounded out by one-piece or multi-piece Brabus Monoblock light-alloy wheels with 18-, 19-, 20- or even 21-inch diameter. The largest tire/wheel combination features multi-piece forged and highly polished BRABUS Monoblock VI wheels in size 9Jx21 on the front axle and in size 10.5Jx21 in the rear. Extensive driving tests determined Pirelli and Yokohama tires in sizes 255/30 ZR 21 in front and 285/30 ZR 21 on the rear axle as the ideal counterparts.

The Brabus suspension modules are specially calibrated to these sporty tire/wheel combinations. The modules are available for vehicles with air or ABC suspensions. They lower the ride height of the S-Class by some 25 millimeters and give it a sporty yet comfortable ride.

Brabus also offers three different versions of its high-performance brake systems for the new top-of-the-line Mercedes. The largest version features 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers and 380 x 36 millimeter vented and perforated discs on the front axle. On the rear axle 355 x 28 millimeter discs and 6-piston aluminum fixed calipers provide ample stopping power. Special flex-steel brake lines guarantee consistently high brake pressure at all times.

Luxury and individuality in the interior is yet another Brabus specialty. The range of products for the new S-Class includes sill plates with Brabus logo, ergonomically shaped safety steering wheels with airbag, and even an exclusive fully leather Brabus interior made from especially soft yet durable Brabus Mastik and the finest Alcantara leathers. The Mercedes S- Class can be further refined with the addition of an exclusive state-of-the-art Brabus multimedia package.
