Brabus wasted no time in delivering an upgrade package for the new generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Aimed at cars equipped with the AMG Line, the Brabus bundle brings a front spoiler that’s said to improve the aerodynamic efficiency, new side air intake surrounds, integrated LED side markers and rear bumper insert, with cutouts for the new exhaust pipes. There’s also a naked carbon boot lid spoiler in the works.
A series of 19-, 20- and 21-inch aluminum
wheels, tailormade for the 2021 S-Class, are available from Brabus as well. The
‘Platinum Edition’ alloys have different patterns and come in combination with
various wheels, from Continental, Pirelli or Yokohama. On the pictured car, the
21-inch set matches the exterior color and is shod in 265/35 front and 305/30
rear rubber.
Brabus enhanced the S-Class’ stance by
lowering the ride height by up to 25 mm, depending on the selected
driving mode, with the company claiming that it does not compromise the luxury
sedan’s comfortable ride. Fine leather upholstery in porcelain and black adorns
the interior of the pictured example, together with shadow chrome coating for
all switches, carbon fiber trim and exclusive scuff plates that can light up in
white or change color in sync with the ambient lighting.
The 3.0-liter mild-hybrid inline-six
engine of the S500 gains 65 PS and 70 Nm of torque
with the Brabus plug-and-play module, which unleashes a total of 500 PS and 590 Nm. This enables a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.7 seconds, down from 4.9 seconds, while top speed remains
capped at 250 km/h.
A performance upgrade for the turbodiesel
powering the S400d lifts the engine’s output and torque from 330 PS and 700 Nm, to 370 PS and 750 Nm for a 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, an 0.2-second improvement,
and a 250 km/h V-max. rabus is also working on other power upgrades
for the petrol, diesel and hybrid lineup of the new S-Class.
