Brabus recently announced its new package for the 2015 Mercedes C-Class. The kit would come with a couple of styling and engine performance upgrades to give the car a combination of sporty and elegant appeal. The noticeable changes that the body kit offers are the changes in the logos and the wheels of the car.
Starting from below, the wheels can be replaced with the tuner’s signature product. Among them are the ten-spoke alloy wheels, which can be seen in the gallery below. Brabus has a selection of wheel designs measuring from 18 to 20-diameter in size. These can be fitted with the tire of the customer’s choice ranging from Continental, Pirelli or Yokohama. Then, there is the optional Bilstein-lowered suspension for added aesthetic impact.
The tuner also replaces the original three-pointed star logo with its recognizable “B marque”. The only exception is the steering wheel wherein the logo of Mercedes is retained.
Next, the modder provides new spoilers for the front and the trunk lid. Brabus noted that the front spoiler would decrease the lift of the car. The aero package includes side skirts too, which can be mounted with LED lights.
The front bumper comes with air intakes and the rear gets a new diffuser too. Incorporated within the cut-outs of the diffuser is the quadruple exhaust system of Brabus.
Inside, the 2015 Mercedes C-Class can be lined with various cuts of leather and Alcantara depending on the buyer’s preference. In addition, the tuner offers its signature floor mats, aluminum pedals, door lock pins, and illuminated kick plates.
Lastly, inside the hood is where the real fun is. The C200’s power can be amplified to give off an extra 41 hp and 22 lb-ft of torque. The sprint of the car from zero to 62 mph is significantly reduced as well by 0.5-second and the top speed goes up by 3 mph to 150 mph.
For the C220, Brabus cranks its power up by 48 hp and it brings the top torque to 332 lb-ft. The same sprint given by the tuner to the C200 can be expected from the C220 and the top speed is only 1 mph lower than its gasoline-powered counterpart.
