All-wheel drive supercar-quick sedan gets the once-over from famed German tuner and the result it epic
The Brabus 900 has been unleashed in Germany that ramps up the already monstrous Mercedes-AMG E 63 S power to an uncredible 662kW a near outrageous 1050Nm of torque.
The result is an all-wheel drive hyper-sedan that can launch to 100km/h, from rest, in just 2.8 seconds and top out at an incredible 330km/h – those figures are 0.5 sec quicker and 30km/h faster than the stock AMG.
To liberate that level of performance, Brabus committed some serious under bonnet surgery that has seen the AMG’s M177 enlarged from 4.0-litre to 4.5-litre by increasing both the bore and stroke.
Larger pistons and a new pair of turbochargers, plus a modified intake were also added, along with a new sports exhaust and ECU reflash.
The new twin-turbo 4.5-litre can actually muster 1250Nm but it’s thought Benz’s nine-speed automatic and 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive would have struggled to cope.
Externally, Brabus says it’s tried to keep things subtle for a ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ look. Although it’s hard not to spot the new splitter, grille, intakes, diffuser and lip spoiler that are all made from carbon-fibre. There’s also the new quad-pipe exhaust and 21-inch rims.
To keep it stable at high speed Brabus has modified the air suspension that has seen the E63 S lowered by around 20mm.
Inside, higher quality leather used to upholster the seats that available in a wide range of colours.
Brabus Race paddle shifters, aluminium pedals and illuminated kickplates have also been introduced.
Brabus has not yet revealed full pricing but has announced the Brabus 900 power and mechanical upgrades, plus its styling add-ons can all be offered individually for owners who might want the performance but not the look, or vice versa.
