Prior to the Geneva Motor Show, Benz tuning giant Brabus has unveiled its latest upgrade package for the
potent Mercedes-AMG E63 S.
If the car pictured looks familiar, that’s probably
because you saw a strikingly-similar Brabus-tuned E63 S in September. However,
unlike that creation which delivered 690 hp, this variant packs 789 hp beneath
its skin.
To increase grunt by 186 hp over stock, Brabus
fitted a pair of new turbochargers and tweaked the vehicle’s computers.
Alongside the mighty horsepower figure, torque has also been increased by a
considerable 74 lb-ft to a mind-blowing 737 lb-ft at just 3600 rpm.
Thanks to these considerable increases in horsepower
and torque, the Brabus E63 S reaches 100 km/h in exactly three
seconds. Opt for the E63 S Estate and its 0-62 mph time sits at 3.1 seconds.
Top speeds for both body styles sit at an electronically limited 300
km/h but Brabus is currently working on a tweak to bypass the limiter.
Not satisfied with simply making the E63 S faster
and more powerful than standard, Brabus has also designed a number of styling
and aerodynamic modifications for the super sedan and estate. Most notably,
there is a selection of carbon fiber parts offered in a matte or high-gloss
finish. Elsewhere, Brabus offers new alloy wheels for the car that are up to
21-inch in size.
If the customer so chooses, a stainless steel
exhaust system can also be fitted as can a range of customization options for
the cabin.
