BRABUS 730 GLC - The BRABUS range for the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE

BRABUS PowerXtra B20E-730 - The latest power upgrade from the Bottrop-based luxury manufactory elevates the performance of the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE to an entirely new level.

The two-liter four-cylinder engine with electric turbochargers produces an extra 37 kW / 50 hp (50 bhp) after installation of the plug-and-play BRABUS PowerXtra module.

The electrical components of the hybrid drive system, the starter alternator and the electric motor module at the rear axle, remain untouched.

The BRABUS upgrade increases the output of the ICE from standard 350 kW / 476 hp to 387 kW / 526 hp (469 - 519 bhp) at 6,300 rom, while peak torque grows from 545 to 645 Nm (402 - 476 lb-ft).

BRABUS exclusively uses MOTUL lubricants for the engine and drivetrain.

The hybrid drive also includes the unchanged electric motor, which together with the battery is arranged at the rear axle.

It produces an output of 150 kW / 204 hp (201 bhp) and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque.

With the BRABUS performance upgrade, the system output increases to 537 kW / 730 hp (720 bhp).

In concert with the nine-speed sports transmission and all-wheel drive, this combo catapults the high-end hybrid SUV from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.3 seconds.

The top speed is electronically limited to 275 km/h (171 mph).

For sporty looks and optimal aerodynamic function the BRABUS designers developed bodywork components for the current GLC 63 made from the high-tech material carbon.

They are available with a glossy or matte surface finish.

The front spoiler with raised side flaps gives the five-door a more thrilling appearance and also contributes to optimized directional stability at high speeds.

The trim surrounding the side air intakes in the front fascia and the inserts integrated into the radiator grille also play a part in the distinctive looks.

The BRABUS exposed-structure carbon rear fascia provides the perfect backdrop for the four BRABUS tailpipes and the central diffuser.

Tailor-made BRABUS alloys are available for the GLC 63 in various designs and with a choice of 21- or 22-inch diameter.

The vehicle pictured here is equipped with ten-spoke BRABUS Monoblock Z ""PLATINUM EDITION"" wheels, which are produced using a mix of forging technology and high-tech CNC machining.

The largest available variant for the GLC-Class features a combination of 9.5Jx22 at the front and 10.5Jx22 on the rear axle.

BRABUS technology partners Continental, Hankook and YOKOHAMA supply the optimal high-performance tires of sizes 275/35 ZR 22 and 315/30 ZR 22.
