Along with the market introduction of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Brabus presented an exclusive sport program for the new sedan. Highlights of the product lineup are the Brabus 4.0 displacement engine with 332 hp, an elegant aerodynamic-enhancement program, light-alloy wheels with 20-inch diameter and corresponding suspensions, plus numerous individual interior options.

For the new C 280 and C 350 models BRABUS offers its BRABUS 4.0 engine. By installing a special crankshaft and larger pistons displacement is increased to 4.0 liters. Additionally the four-valve cylinder heads are optimized for gas flow, and fitted with special camshafts. The conversion further includes a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with metal catalysts, and newly programmed engine electronics.

The impressive results of the conversion are a maximum power output of 332 hp and a peak torque of 310 lb-ft at 4200 rpm. Thus equipped, the four delivers excellent performance: Just 5.8 seconds pass from 0 - 60 mph, top speed is 170 mph in combination with the Brabus Vmax-Unit.

Brabus stainless-steel quad sport exhaust systems are available for all engine variants.

More dynamics for the new C-Class also come from custom-tailored Brabus tire/wheel combinations with diameters of 17, 18, 19 and 20 inches and corresponding Brabus sport suspensions, lowering kits and sport sway bars. The largest wheels for the new C-Class are Brabus Monoblock VI, E and S light-alloy wheels in size 9Jx20 front and back, fitted with tires is sizes 235/30 ZR 20 in front and 265/25 ZR 20 on the rear axle.

Brabus high-performance brake systems are available for the W 204 model series in two versions and offer maximum stopping power and endurance.

The Brabus design team also went into the wind tunnel to develop aerodynamic-enhancement components that not only look great but also offer maximum aerodynamic efficiency. All parts are manufactured from high-quality PUR-Rim in OEM quality.

The sporty styled Brabus front spoiler lends the C-Class a more characteristic appearance with its generously dimensioned air inlets for improved supply of cooling air for radiators and front brakes. It also minimizes lift on the front axle, thus improving directional stability at high speeds. Four integrated auxiliary headlights further optimize active safety. BRABUS offers a three-piece rear spoiler that serves as its aerodynamic counterpart in the rear.

Strikingly styled Brabus rocker panels create perfect aerodynamic transitions between front and rear wheel arches. The panels are optionally available with integrated LED entrance lights. For the outside mirrors Brabus offers custom-tailored carbon-fiber covers.

The new Brabus rear apron with one cutout left and right for the sport exhaust rounds out the exclusive appearance.

Brabus also enjoys a great reputation worldwide for exclusive interior design: For the new C-Class the company-own upholstery shop handcrafts exclusive interiors from especially soft and breathable Brabus Mastik leather and Alcantara with utmost precision. The Brabus program also includes a wide array of individual accessories for the interior. The lineup ranges from an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel to aluminum foot pedals and 330-km/h speedometer to stainless-steel door sills with illuminated Brabus logo to precious-wood and carbon-fiber trim sets.

holy sweet jesus...I like it! Not sure about the LEDs though.

 

Looks very boxy, not feeling it.

 

The Front is Spot on , i really like it. But the Rear looks like a rushed job,if the rear was more like the CLS or E it would look way nice, it still looks nice .

 

I love the New C, The only thing I would do to the Brabus Equipped C above is to have the monoblock wheels powdercoated black and also make the front grill all black including the MB star.

 

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT RED DOT at the bottom of the rear apron

 

That's exactly what I was wondering.
The random LED light's on the sideskirts are WACK.
Other than that, I think the kit is awesome.
The new C Class' look sick and Brabus made it look more aggressive. I like it.
Guess we'll just have to wait got the c63 AMG for speed though.

 

It's a rear fog lamp. I guess they wanted to put some MINI in the car...

 

I'd have to concur.

js

 

I'll take the stock C just fine. I don't see the need to boost a sedan. Anyone looking for a real sports car should get a wkend car. Especially if they can afford a Brabus.

 

DAMN I LIKE makes you wonder and eager for the c63!!!!!! thatnk god my c55 lease is up on 1 year and a half

 

looks great IMHO.
