Brabus reveals tuning package for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Brabus has released a range of upgrades, including performance and styling enhancements for the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

An aerodynamic enhancement programme and tailor-made alloy wheels with diameters of up to 20-inches lend the sedan an even more thrilling appearance.

Engine tuning and suspension options offer added vehicle dynamics while a custom interior design rounds out the product lineup for the W205 model series.

The sporty front spoiler lends the C-Class a more striking face while also minimising negative lift on the front axle - for improved handling stability at high speeds. Its rear aerodynamic counterpart is a discreet spoiler lip for the trunk lid.

The striking Brabus rocker panels create an aerodynamically ideal transition between the wheel arches and can be optionally available with integrated LED entry lights.

Custom Brabus tyre and wheel combinations with diameters of 18, 19 and 20-inches are also a factor in the exclusive Brabus look.

Brabus lowering kits and sports suspensions with sporty-comfortable tuning were developed in cooperation with Bilstein.

Brabus' engine tuning programme for the C-Class starts with the PowerXtra B20.2 for the C200. It involves the adaptation of a plug-and-play auxiliary control unit to the engine electronics - without affecting the engine's service life or strict Euro 6 emissions standards.

Post installation, the four-cylinder turbo engine pumps out an extra 40bhp and also delivers 30Nm more torque. Consequently, the tuned sedan sprints from 0 to 100km/h in seven seconds, and reaches a top speed of 242km/h.

The PowerXtra D3 performance kit for the Mercedes C220 BlueTEC will be available shortly and boosts power by 48bhp with an increased torque delivery to 450Nm. The sprint time from nought to the century mark is shortened to 7.1 seconds while top speed has increased to 240km/h. Performance tuning for all other C-Class models are in the final stages of development.
