Brabus decided that the new C-Klasse is not sufficiently aggressive and powerful and therefore they decided to improve it, just a bit.

The new Brabus C-Klasse gets a more aggressive aerodynamic kit compared to standard and has larger front/rear bars on air vents, rear speakers, prominent side skirts and a new exhaust system.

The interior changes are minimal, with Brabus logo on skirts, custom mats and aluminum pedals. The biggest surprise however comes from the technical side. The suspension AIRMATIC has been lowered by 30 mm and the springs were replaced with stiffer ones produced by Bilstein. For a more aggressive look and ride the wheels were replaced with 18, 19 and 20 inch versions.

As for the engine, the C180 version gets an extra 21 HP, so the standard motorization power of 154 HP is now 174 HP and comes accompanied by B18.2 Brabus PowerXtra package. Maximum torque has also increased and is now at 300 Nm, which enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 8.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 230 km/h.

The performance kit B20.2 Brabus PowerXtra offered for C200 version boosts the power by 41 horsepower and 30 Nm torque. The 225 horsepower guarantees a sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 7 seconds and a top speed of 242 km/h. The performance kits for diesel versions are still being developed. Brabus says that soon their performance kits will be also available for diesel engines.
