To add more sporty emphasis to the elegant lines of the new C 216-series Mercedes coupe the BRABUS designers have developed an aerodynamic-enhancement kit, manufactured from high-quality PUR-R-RIM in OEM quality with precise fit and perfectly smooth surfaces.
The BRABUS front bumper was shaped in the wind tunnel. Its sophisticated shape reduces lift on the front axle. The large central air dam optimizes cooling of engine and front brakes. Integrated fog lamps and high beams give the car a more charismatic appearance and improve active safety through better illumination of the roadway.
The BRABUS rocker panels were designed to optimize airflow along the vehicle's sides. As a useful additional feature these panels come with integrated entrance lights.
The bolt-on rear fascia is designed to perfectly integrate the fully stainless-steel BRABUS quad sports exhaust into the rear appearance. The rear fascia also features three LED lights recessed in the underside of the fascia to facilitate loading and unloading the trunk in the dark. An understated rear spoiler rounds out the sophisticated BRABUS aerodynamics concept.
Wheels are the legs of a car and thus the exclusive BRABUS appearance of the top-of-the-line two-door Mercedes is also characterized by one-piece and multi-piece BRABUS Monoblock light-alloy wheels with 18-, 19-, 20- or even 21-inch diameter.
The largest tire/wheel combination for the C 216 series are BRABUS Monoblock VI and E wheels in sizes 9Jx21 in front and 10.5Jx21 on the rear axle. For optimal tires BRABUS selected Pirelli and Yokohama high-performance tires in sizes 255/30 ZR 21 in front and 285/30 ZR 21 in the rear.
Specifically matched to this tire/wheel combination is the BRABUS lowering module for the standard ABC suspension. It lowers the ride height of the two-door by some 25 millimeters.
BRABUS also offers three versions of its high-performance brake system for the top-of-the-line coupe. The ultimate version features 12-piston fixed aluminum calipers and 380 x 36-millimeter vented and cross-drilled discs on the front axle. The rear axle decelerates with 355 x 28-millimeter discs and six-piston fixed aluminum calipers.
BRABUS also offers powerful engine tuning for the C 216-series CL-Class, backed by the unique BRABUS Tuning Warranty® of three years up to 100,000 kilometers (see BRABUS warranty conditions as of June 2003).
For the CL 600 model four different performance levels are available. The top performance level is the BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo engine with 730 hp / 537 kW at 5,100 rpm. In the vehicle the peak torque of 1,320 Nm is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm at 2,100 rpm. These extraordinary performance figures make the BRABUS SV12 S coupe not just one of the most powerful but also one of the fastest Gran Turismos in the world. 0 - 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, 200 km/h after just 11.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 340 km/h speak volumes.
For the four-valve V8 of the Mercedes CL 500 the BRABUS engine specialists have developed the B8 tuning kit for an increase in power output to 419 hp / 308 kW, and the BRABUS 6.1 displacement engine with 462 hp / 340 kW at 6,200 rpm and a peak torque of 615 Nm at 3,100 rpm.
All BRABUS powertrain components are operated exclusively with ARAL high-performance lubricants.
A sporty exhaust note and striking looks are the main attributes of the fully stainless-steel BRABUS quad sport exhaust that is available for all engine variants.
The interior of the new Mercedes coupe offers numerous opportunities for exclusive BRABUS treatments. The list of products ranges from door sills with BRABUS logo to ergonomically shaped sport steering wheels, sporty aluminum and genuine carbon-fiber accessories to an exclusive BRABUS fully leather interior. Individual customer requests can be satisfied with masterfully crafted leather interiors. The company-own upholstery shop prefers especially soft yet durable BRABUS Mastik leather and the finest Alcantara.
