Brabus has released an extensive upgrade program for the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake
that brings not only a power boost but a few styling changes as well
such as a new front spoiler, front fascia attachments with LED DRLs,
side skirts and fenders. The models that feature the AMG sport package
can get a new front spoiler lip, while the CLS 63 AMG is available with
an additional front spoiler and fender attachments.
The CLS Shooting Brake can ride on a new set of
Brabus Monoblock wheels in sizes varying from 8.5Jx17 to 10.5Jx20 and
available in six designs. There are also new suspension options created
in collaboration with Bilstein that are specifically calibrated to use
with low-profile tires and can lower the car by approximately 35mm.
As you would expect, there’s also a power boost via
the ECO PowerXtra D4 performance kit that increases the power of the
CLS 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY by 31 hp (22.8 kW) and lifts torque figure to
446 lb-ft (560 Nm).
The CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY can be equipped with
the ECO PowerXtra D6S package that raises the output to 313 hp (230 kW)
in sport mode, enough for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 5.9
seconds.
The CLS 500 BlueEFFICIENCY has its own tuning kit
that produces 500 hp (368 kW) and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm). With the Brabus
Vmax unit installed, the car can hit a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h).
The CLS 63 AMG can generate 619 hp (455 kW) and a
peak torque of 663 lb-ft (737 Nm), propelling the car to 62 mph in 4.2
seconds and a top speed of 200 mph (320 km/h).
