Brabus, the official Mercedes-Benz tuner, revealed the first tuning program for the 2014 S-Class. Based on the S500, the vehicle comes with a new aerodynamic kit consisting of a redesigned front bumper with larger air intakes, ventilated front fenders, side sills, a rear bumper with integrated air diffuser and exhaust system, as well as a boot lid.
A lowering module was also added, which reduces the ride height by 15 mm. The exterior design is completed by the 19-, 20- or 21-inch Platinum Edition Monoblock VI or Monoblock F cross-spoke alloy wheels. Brabus didn’t release any pictures with the interior, yet. Now, let’s focus on engine! Brabus installed a 520 PowerXtra CGI performance kit on the S500 that produces 520 hp and 820 Nm of torque (604 lb-ft).
With these numbers, the vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). For those who just bought the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG, Brabus offers the 650 PowerXtra CGI package.
As a result, the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine delivers 650 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque (737 lb-ft). If this isn’t enough for you, Brabus offers the B63S – 730 high-performance version, unmistakable thanks to the Brabus Gold Heat Reflection system for the intake and charge-air pipes.
The tuner replaced the two production turbochargers with two special Brabus turbos with larger compressor unit that generates higher boost pressure. Moreover, a low-temperature water radiator was added, a free-flow exhaust system with metal catalysts and 75-mm (3-in.) thick downpipes, as well as special BRABUS mapping for the engine management system.
The result: 730 hp and 1,065 Nm (785 lb-ft) of torque. Top speed is electronically limited to 325 km/h (202 mph). Brabus also offers a sport exhaust with controlled butterfly valve for the S500 and S63 AMG models. Using just a button found on the steering wheel, drivers can choose whether to operate the V8 in a discrete “Coming Home” mode or to enjoy a markedly throaty exhaust note in the “Sport” position.
Who in this world does not know a Mercedes Benz? One would probably have been living in a rock to not recognize instantaneously a Mercedes Benz. Such has been the influence of the Mercedes among people the world over. Such is the kind of recall and brand recognition the Mercedes has built throughout the history of its existence.
Mercedes Benz S-Class is not only the epitome of the spirit and the story of the Mercedes, but it is also an extension of its legacy of luxury and classiness. The new S-Class boasts of a flowing silhouette and an architecture that stays true to the classic S-Class look and image. Mercedes Design Chief Gordon Wagener says that in visualizing the new S-Class, they took inspiration from the design language of the cars of the 1930s, an era in design that was characterized by classic elegance and grandeur.
This they blended with present designs which are progressive and sophisticated. The result is a new Mercedes Benz S-Class that exudes a timeless and contemporary look that is sporty and sensual, showing a superiority over the rest of the competition it has seemingly effortlessly earned.
The new Mercedes Benz S-Class is unique in its upright three-dimensional design, plus it has a roof line that makes it look powerful and gives the S-Class a sporty coupe-like appearance. Its intelligent design evokes an emotion that further establishes the appeal of the S-Class. It has a larger radiator grille, long bonnet, rear end that slants, and a roof line that is domed and flowing, all representing upgrades from the previous S-Class models. What all these do is give the new S-Class bigger space and size that make it proportional to classic saloons.
