BRABUS 730 - Based on Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance (W 206)

Sedan or wagon: The BRABUS PowerXtra B20E-730 performance upgrade turns the current Mercedes C 63 S E PERFORMANCE into even more of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

The BRABUS power unit engineers used state-of-the-art test bench technology and extensive test drives on racetracks and public roads to develop a performance kit that boosts the power output of the turbocharged two-liter four-cylinder engine of the hybrid car by 37 kW / 50 hp (50 bhp).

To this end, a plug-and-play auxiliary control unit is adapted to the electronic engine management system, which supplies the engine controls with new maps for injection and ignition while also upping the boost pressure.

As a result, peak power increases from stock 350 kW / 476 hp to 387 kW / 526 hp (469 - 519 bhp) at 6,300 rpm.

Peak torque of the ICE grows from 545 to 645 Nm (402 - 476 lb-ft) at the same time.

It is on tap on a plateau between 4,750 and 5,200 rpm.

BRABUS recommends high-performance engine oil from technology partner MOTUL.

The electric motor, which together with the battery is arranged in a module at the rear axle, remains untouched and contributes 150 kW / 204 hp (201 bhp) and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) to this hybrid drive system.

With BRABUS engine tuning, the driver commands a system output of 537 kW / 730 hp (720 bhp).

Both body styles of the current C 63 with BRABUS PowerXtra B20E-730 performance upgrade and nine-speed SPEEDSHIFT transmission accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds.

The top speed of the four-door is electronically limited to 280 km/h (174 mph).

Acceleration of the wagon ends at 270 km/h (168 mph).

The BRABUS aerodynamic-enhancement range for the current Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E PERFORMANCE compels with its sporty looks and aerodynamic efficiency.

Here, too, customers have a choice of exposed-structure carbon with a matte or glossy surface finish.
