Brabus 800 AMG E63S

Mercedes-Benz AMG E63S gets larger turbochargers and a long list of interior and exterior upgrades.

The Mercedes-Benz AMG E63S is offered as both a sedan and a wagon, and both are among the best performing models in their class. In stock form, the twin turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 delivers 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, making the E63S one of the most powerful sedans and wagons in the world, while the standard 4Matic all-wheel-drive system helps to make them some of the quickest production cars in the world, sprinting to 60 miles-per-hour in the mid-3-second range.

For most people, that is plenty of real world performance, but for those prospective AMG E63S buyers who want more and a unique look, Brabus has the answer.

According to CarBuzz, the Brabus 800 package is available for both the AMG E63S sedan and wagon, and in both models, it lifts the output to 800 horsepower and 1000 newton-meters of torque, which translates to 737 lb-ft for American drivers.

AMG E63S with Big Power

The heart of the Brabus 800 package is under the hood, where the team increases the output of AMG’s twin turbocharged 4.0-liter V8.

Brabus adds larger turbochargers, a carbon fiber engine air intake system, a stainless steel exhaust system and an engine tune, all of which lifts the output to the aforementioned 800 horsepower and 737 lb-ft of torque. With the help of the tuned 9-speed automatic transmission and the advanced all-wheel-drive system, the Brabus 800-equipped AMG E63S will sprint from a stop to 60 miles-per-hour in just three seconds flat and on a long pull, the juiced sedan or wagon will reach a top speed of 190 miles per hour.

Unique Design Appointments

In addition to the extra power, the Brabus 800 package for the Mercedes-Benz AMG E63S adds a long list of exterior bits, most of which are glossy visible carbon fiber. This includes a front chin spoiler, portions of the grille, the rear diffuser, the rear wing and side skirts. There is also an illuminated Brabus badge in the grille and a handful of other unique badges around the exterior.

Capping off the exterior upgrades is a set of unique 21-inch Brabus Monoblock Z lightweight alloy wheels, wrapped in Continental Conti Sportcontact 6 tires.

The standard interior upgrades of the Brabus 800 package for the Mercedes-Benz E63S are simple, starting with stainless steel door sill plates with a backlit Brabus logo that change color with the interior ambient lighting. There are also bright pedals and aluminum door lock pins, but for those buyers who want a more unique look, Brabus has a long list of interior options including bespoke leather seating designs.

As great as the exterior looks with all of the carbon fiber components, the fully optioned-out cabin with the Brabus leather is just as impressive.

What we don’t know about the Brabus 800 package for the Mercedes-Benz AMG E63S is the price. The German tuning company doesn’t list pricing on the website, but with a standard E63S starting over $107,000, anyone who is serious about buying a Brabus model should be prepared to pay well over that number. However, for that unknown price, you are getting one of the quickest four-door cars in the world.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
