German tuning powerhouse Brabus has taken the Mercedes E63 AMG to a new level, offering increased output and a list of exclusive accessories for both sedan and wagon versions.
The Brabus Mercedes E63 AMG is named the B63 S and the 6.3-litre V8 from under the bonnet is now able to spit out 555 HP (408 kW) and 650 Nm of torque, 30 HP (22 kW) and 20 Nm more than the standard version.
The power boost was enabled by Brabus fitting the Mercedes E63 AMG with two sport air filters and free-flow metal catalysts as well as a new engine management software. These mechanical enhancements translate into a 4.3 seconds sprint time from 0 to 100 Km/h and top speed jumps to 320 Km/h when the BRABUS V/max wheel and tyre combination is used.
At the exterior the Brabus Mercedes E63 AMG received a list of clear-coated carbon fiber components, like a front spoiler lip and a rear diffuser plus aluminum sport fenders with lateral air outlets.
Inside the Brabus Mercedes E63 AMG highlights include special Mastik and Alcantara leather seats, various wood and carbon fiber inserts and a new speedometer with a 360 Km/h dial.
The Brabus Mercedes E63 AMG will have its world debut at the Essen Motor Show that starts November 28th 2009.
Brabus press release :
BRABUS Tuning for the Mercedes E 63 AMG
555 hp / 408 kW, 320 km/h Top Speed and Exclusive Accessories
Even more power and exclusive accessories for the latest top-of-the-line E-Class model, the E 63 AMG: With BRABUS B63 S engine tuning, power output of both sedan and wagon jumps to 555 hp (547 bhp) / 408 kW and their top speed jumps to 320 km/h (200 mph). BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, D-46240 Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777-0, fax + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777 111, Internet www.brabus.com) also offers exclusive accessories such as sporty yet elegant aerodynamic-enhancement components, custom-tailored tire/wheel combinations up to 20 inches in diameter and custom interior options.
The fast-revving 6.3-liter V8 becomes even more powerful with the BRABUS B63 S performance kit. The conversion consists of two sport air filters, free-flow metal catalysts and newly programmed engine electronics. The tuning kit bumps power output of the engine from standard 525 hp (517 bhp) / 386 kW by 30 hp (30 bhp) / 22 kW. Simultaneously peak torque grows from 630 to 650 Nm (464 to 479 lb-ft) at 5,400 rpm. BRABUS recommends fully synthetic ARAL high-performance motor oil.
Equipped with the BRABUS B63 S kit, the sprint time from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) is shortened to 4.3 seconds and in combination with the BRABUS V/max unit top speed jumps to up to 320 km/h (200 mph), depending on the speed rating of the selected tire/wheel combination.
To transfer the increased power to the road with as little slip as possible BRABUS offers a limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40 percent for the E 63 AMG.
Minimizing aerodynamic lift is essential in a car as fast as this one. The BRABUS designers went into the wind tunnel to develop aerodynamic-enhancement components that are as stunning as they are effective. These components are manufactured from clear-coated carbon fiber. The production front apron of sedan and wagon can be upgraded with a spoiler lip. The aerodynamics of the sedan’s rear can be further improved with a diffuser and a rear spoiler.
On the front axle BRABUS aluminum sport fenders with lateral air outlets improve venting of the wheel houses and add a decidedly sporty note to the car’s appearance.
BRABUS also offers custom-tailored tire/wheel combinations for all E63 models. They are available with diameters of 18, 19 and 20 inches. The largest homologated version features Monoblock VI, E, Q or S wheels in size 9Jx20 on the front axle and in sizes 9.5Jx20 or 10.5Jx20 in back. They are fitted with Pirelli or YOKOHAMA high-performance tires in size 245/30 ZR 20 in front and up to size 295/25 ZR 20 on the rear axle.
Exclusive BRABUS-refined interiors are also available for the Mercedes E 63 AMG. The list of accessories ranges from stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated BRABUS logo to a speedometer with 360-km/h (225-mph) dial. The company upholstery shop creates luxury interiors from a combination of especially soft yet durable BRABUS Mastik leather and Alcantara to each customer’s exact specifications. The perfect complements are precious-wood and carbon-fiber inlays in any desired color and with various surface finishes.
All components are backed by the incomparable BRABUS Tuning Warranty® of three years, up to 100,000 kilometers / 62,000 miles (see BRABUS warranty conditions as of November 2006).
