The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe, a replacement for the popular CLK-class, has received a performance and styling makeover by one of Mercedes’ most respected aftermarket tuners, BRABUS.
The 5.5-litre engine in the flagship E 500 coupe has been stroked to 6.1-litres and now develops 340 kW and 615 Nm of torque. The result is a 0-100 km/h time of around 4.9 seconds and an impressive top speed of 315 km/h.
Styling tweaks featuring new front and rear bumpers – with integrated LED daytime running lights – were developed in the wind tunnel for optimum aerodynamic-enhancement while custom-tailored wheels up to 20-inches in diametre, aluminum front sport quarter panels with integrated clear-coated carbon-fibre inserts and rocker panels visually give the coupe a lower and sleeker stance.
The rear apron features a centrally mounted reflector and custom-tailored cutouts on either side for the four tailpipes of the sport exhaust system.
Braking is provided by six-piston aluminum calipers with 14.2-inch vented and cross-drilled brakes up front while a complete height-adjustable coil-over sport suspension is also available.
