Specially calibrated to the use of sporty low-profile tires are the BRABUS suspension
solutions, developed in cooperation with technology partner BILSTEIN. The lineup ranges
from BRABUS sport springs for a ride-height lowering by some 30 millimeters (1.2 in.).
Sportier ambitions can be met with the BRABUS complete suspension, which combines the
ride-height lowering with firmer but yet comfortable damper settings. CLS models equipped
ex-factory with the semi-active AIRMATIC air suspension system can be lowered by some 35
millimeters (1.4 in.) with the BRABUS suspension module.
BRABUS offers the world’s most extensive performance tuning program for Mercedes-Benz
automobiles. The CLS 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY model equipped with BRABUS ECO
PowerXtra D4 performance kit delivers an additional 31 hp (31 bhp) / 22.8 kW and produces
a peak torque of 560 Nm (413 lb-ft).
For the CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY BRABUS offers the ECO PowerXtra D6S tuning kit.
The plug-and-play auxiliary control unit can be installed by any authorized Mercedes-Benz
dealer or any BRABUS competence partner in less than 45 minutes. This high-tech
performance tuning also gives the driver the opportunity to influence power yield via the
selected shift program of the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission.
In ‘Eco’mode only peak torque is increased from 620 Nm to 690 Nm (457 to 509 lb-ft)
between 1,600 and 2,400 rpm. The maximum power output remains unchanged. If the ‘Sport’
mode is selected manually or activated automatically both peak torque and power output are
increased. Maximum rated power output then jumps from 265 hp (261 bhp) / 195 kW to 313
hp (309 bhp) / 230 kW at a low 3,600 rpm. Using this setting, the tuned turbodiesel model
sprints from 0 – 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds. Top speed is limited electronically to 250 km/h
(155 mph).
All BRABUS engines are operated exclusively with ARAL high-performance lubricants.
Fully stainless-steel BRABUS quad sport exhaust systems are available for all CLS engine
variants. The precision-calibrated exhaust systems optimize power yield and produce a
throaty exhaust note.
Exclusive interior design that meets every customer request is a particular BRABUS
specialty. The options for the new Mercedes CLS range from appealing accessories to
custom-tailored interiors crafted from especially soft and breathable yet highly durable
BRABUS Mastik leather and Alcantara.
The ergonomically shaped BRABUS sport steering wheel is available in a variety of
leather/wood designs. It provides perfect road feedback and ensures a relaxed posture for
long-distance driving.
Scuff plates with illuminated BRABUS logo or the speedometer with 340-km/h dial (213 mph)
add individual highlights as do the distinctly sporty BRABUS interior accessories: They
include aluminum components such as pedal pads, door-lock pins and shifter, and high quality
clear-coated carbon-fiber inlays for dashboard and center console. BRABUS also
offers wood trim in any desired color and grain.
The four-door CLS coupe can also be equipped with a custom-tailored BRABUS multimedia
package.
