BRABUS Treats the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe - Top Version gets 462HP

Having already launched a comprehensive package for the E-Class sedan, renowned Mercedes-Benz specialist Brabus has now turned its focus on the new E-Class Coupe. The tuning programme for the German coupe includes both mechanical and styling updates with the most powerful version based on the E500 (E550 for the U.S.). The tuning firm's engineers have increased the V8's displacement from 5.5- to 6.1-liters raising output to 462HP and 615Nm or 453 lb-ft of torque. The result is a 0-100km/h sprint time of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 315 km/h or 196 mph.
The cost of the V8 conversion is pretty high though as Brabus charges a whopping €29,000 or with the current exchange rates, US$39,900.
Besides the E500/E550 Coupe, Brabus also offers tuning kits for the E 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY diesel that lifts output from 204HP to 232HP and the for the E 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY which boosts output to 272HP and 590Nm or 435 lb-ft of torque.
A variety of suspension options are available, from a standard lowering kit to a complete height-adjustable coil-over sport suspension. Brabus also offers a high-performance brake system for the new Mercedes coupe that features six-piston aluminum fixed calipers and 360mm (14.2 inches) vented and cross-drilled discs on the front axle. The rear axle stops with four-piston aluminum fixed calipers.
Tweaking the E-Class Coupe's exterior is a rather subtle -for Brabus' standards- bodykit that consists of modified bumpers and side skirts. The coupe's look is rounded off by a new series of lightweight alloy wheels available in several designs and sizes ranging from 17– to 20-inches.
The list of interior options includes stainless-steel scuff plated with illuminated BRABUS logo, an ergonomically shaped BRABUS sport steering wheel and an entirely new interior crafted from Mastik leather and Alcantara.
