Brabus Unveils Astonishing GLE 700 Coupe

Brabus, the ever active German tinker masters, have managed to get a hold of a GLE 63 Coupe, and the result is astonishing. As the name suggests, 700 is derived from the amount of horsepower it makes, which is 700. Like their AMG GT, this unusually low bump in HP only means they are leaving room for improvement.

More astonishingly, the car is said to be capable of 186 miles per hour. That’s a lot for a crossover utility vehicle (or whichever title you wish to apply these days). Thats due in part to the monster engine under the hood, but also by Brabus’s own areo designs that help keep the GLE planted at elevated speeds. Even tweaks to the suspension have been accounted for to help it hunker down on the ground.

The visual treatments weren’t left to just the exterior though. Someone at Brabus was apparently seeing blue. Inside, the seats are wrapped with a light blue leather. So are the door inserts. In a block pattern. That’ll draw a few opinions… Anyhow, blue seems to be a bit of a theme with calipers and even carpets with those color accents.

Whatever your color preference, though, the GLE 700 is nothing short of impressive.
