Brabus Turns Up the Heat on New C-Class Wagon
Brabus is known as the ultimate tuner of ludicrous Mercedes AMG performance cars. Brabus essentially takes the already ridiculously powerful AMGs and turns them up well past eleven. For instance, just take a look at the Brabus G63 6×6, which makes over 700 horsepower for some unknown reason. However, Brabus wants to branch out of its AMG mold and find new customers. That’s where normal Mercedes and the AMG Sportline come into play.
This is Brabus’s latest offering: the Brabus C-Class wagon. While it may look like the new C63 AMG wagon, it’s actually just the AMG Sportline C-Class. It doesn’t have the 4.0L turbo-charged V8; it isn’t really the one you want. However, Brabus has restyled the car by adding all those AMG goodies, like the splitter and rear diffuser, to make the car look very much like the C63 AMG.
But this wouldn’t be a Brabus unless it had some form of tuning. Under the hood, Brabus has tweaked the ECU to gain an additional 34 horsepower and 37lb-ft of torque. That means the car can now get up to 62mph in just 6.5 seconds. Add to that an optional suspension package and a few interior bits and bobs, and the car looks a whole lot better than it does in stock trim.
Brabus hasn’t released any pricing numbers just yet, but figure that these packs won’t come cheap.
