2006-06-24 BRABUS Tuning for the Updated Version of E-Class
Brand-New for the Market Introduction:
[/img]http://www.500sec.com/news/500big_b06aa050%20(Large).jpg[/img]
Concurrent with the market introduction of the newly updated version of the Mercedes E-Class
BRABUS already offers an extensive tuning program for all E-Class
models. Just as unique as the extensive program is the BRABUS Tuning Warranty of three
years or up to 100,000 kilometers (see BRABUS warranty conditions as of June 2003).
BRABUS offers the world`s largest engine tuning program for Mercedes-Benz automobiles. The
updated version of the W/S 211 models series is no exception.
More power through more displacement is a proven tuning method that also applies to the new
E-Class. In a first step BRABUS continues this tradition with larger versions of the V6 and V8
engines. A displacement increase of the four-valve engine of the E 350 model to 4.0 liters
bumps power output to 332 hp / 244 kW and peak torque to 420 Nm.

For the new four-valve V8 engine of the latest Mercedes E 500 model the BRABUS engine
specialists have developed the BRABUS 6.1 displacement engine. It develops a maximum
power output of 462 hp / 340 kW at 6,200 rpm, a peak torque of 615 Nm at 3,100 rpm. It is
lubricated exclusively with ARAL high-performance motor oil.
Equipped with this engine the Mercedes E 500 exhibits markedly more temperament. Sprint
time to 100 km/h is shortened to 4.8 seconds. In combination with the BRABUS V/max unit that
eliminates the standard 250-km/h speed limit top speed increases to 305 km/h.
BRABUS engine tuning is also available for all updated E-Class models with common-rail
turbodiesel engines. The BRABUS PowerXtra D6 (III) tuning kit unleashes the true power
inherent in the V6 common-rail turbodiesel engine of the E 320 CDI – without sacrificing built-in
safety reserves. The standard diesel particulate filter is retained resulting in exemplary low
emissions: Like its production counterpart the new Mercedes E 320 CDI with BRABUS
PowerXtra D6 (III) performance kit meets Euro 4 emission limits.
With BRABUS PowerXtra D6 (III) tuning power output jumps from standard 224 hp / 165 kW to
272 hp / 200 kW at just 3,800 rpm. Simultaneously peak torque grows from normally 540 Nm to
590 Nm. Performance is on a correspondingly high level: The tuned E 320 CDI sprints from 0 –
100 km/h in just 6.5 seconds. The new top speed is 250 km/h.
BRABUS also offers custom-tailored stainless-steel sport exhaust systems with two or four
chromed tailpipes for all engine variants of the new Mercedes E-Class generation.
To add sporty emphasis to the elegant lines of the modified Mercedes E-Class – sedan or
wagon – the BRABUS designers have developed an elegantly shaped aerodynamic-
enhancement kit manufactured from Pur-R-Rim in OEM quality.The production front bumper can be upgraded with custom-tailored BRABUS headlight inserts
with two fog lamps and two high beams. In addition the designers have developed a front
spoiler that reduces lift on the front axle and thus further optimizes directional stability at high speeds.
.jpg)
The BRABUS rocker panels give both body styles a longer, sleeker appearance and offer an
interesting additional feature: Pushing a button on the keyless-entry remote or pulling on a door
handle activates entrance lights integrated into the underside. They illuminate the ground on
both sides of the E-Class for safe entering and exiting of the vehicle in the dark.
In combination with the BRABUS sport exhaust the strikingly shaped BRABUS rear apron, also
available for sedan and wagon, rounds out the sporty yet elegant appearance.
The choice of BRABUS tire/wheel combinations for the updated E-Class ranges from one-piece
8.5Jx17 Monoblock A wheels with general certificate to the high-tech version with 9Jx20 wheels
on the front axle and 10.5Jx20 rims in the rear. This combination was custom-developed by the
BRABUS suspension engineers for the new E-Class and is available with multi-piece BRABUS
Monoblock V and VI wheels as well as with the new Monoblock S rims. As optimal tires
BRABUS selected high-performance tires from Pirelli and Yokohama in sizes 245/30 ZR 20 in
front and 285/25 ZR 20 on the rear axle.
Extensive tests were conducted to develop sporty yet comfortable suspension solutions for the
updated W/S 211 series. For the four- and six-cylinder models with conventional springs the
BRABUS tuning program includes lowering springs or sport suspensions calibrated to the
various vehicle weights.
For all air-sprung E-Class models BRABUS offers a suspension module that lowers the ride
height of sedan and wagon by some 20 millimeters. BRABUS high-performance brake systems
are available for the E-Class in three different versions.
Luxurious and customized interiors are yet another BRABUS specialty. The list of options
includes stainless-steel door sills, ergonomically shaped safety steering wheels with air bag and
even an exclusive BRABUS fully leather interior handcrafted from a combination of especially
soft yet durable BRABUS Mastik leather and Alcantara.
The BRABUS design team has further developed special covers for the backs of the front seats
that extend all the way up to the headrests. These consoles are designed to house seven-inch
LCD-monitors with 16:9 ratio and an integrated DVD player.

2006-07-02 BRABUS ROCKET – The World`s Fastest Sedan
.jpg)
362.4 km/h: The BRABUS ROCKET, built in small-series production based on the Mercedes CLS series, is the world`s fastest sedan. During test runs on the high-speed track in the southern Italian town of Nardo the 348,000-euro high-performance automobile improved upon the previous record of 350.2 km/h, held also by BRABUS with the E V12 Biturbo.
.jpg)
The heart of the new record car is the twin-turbo V12 engine from the latest Mercedes 600 models. It was fitted into the tight confines of the four-door with almost surgical precision.
BRABUS increases displacement to 6,233 ccm with a special crankshaft, larger cylinder bore and forged pistons. In addition the engine is extensively modified internally: Airflow in both intake and outlet manifolds of both cylinder heads is optimized and sport camshafts are installed.
.jpg)
The BRABUS engine specialists further equip the engine with custom-developed larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooling system and a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with four exhaust pipes and low back-pressure metal catalysts. Newly programmed engine electronics orchestrate the perfect interaction of all new components and contribute not only to maximum power yield but also to meeting the latest EURO IV emission limits.
.jpg)
After the engine conversion, also available for all current Mercedes-Benz 600 and 65 models with twin-turbo V12 engine, the BRABUS S V12 S Biturbo engine is the most powerful TÜV-tested engine of German origin: The maximum power output of 730 hp / 537 kW is produced at 5,100 rpm. Peak torque is 1,320 Nm, but is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm, available from a low 2,100 rpm.
.jpg)
In addition to the top speed of 362.4 km/h, limited electronically for street-legal operation to 350 km/h, the BRABUS ROCKET also offers acceleration at the highest level: 0 – 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, 0 – 200 km/h in 10.5 seconds, 0 – 300 km/h in 29.5 seconds.
.jpg)
Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a modified five-speed automatic transmission and the BRABUS locking differential.
The BRABUS ROCKET engine and the entire drivetrain are operated with high-performance lubricants from technology partner ARAL.
.jpg)
Naturally the unique performance of the world`s fastest sedan must be kept safely in check at all times. In order to do so BRABUS in cooperation with Bilstein has developed a custom-calibrated height-adjustable coil-over suspension with gas-pressure shocks for the ROCKET.
The shocks feature six settings each for bound and rebound.
.jpg)
Maximum size and state-of-the-art materials characterize the BRABUS high-performance brake system of the ROCKET. The front axle features vented ceramic brake discs in size 375 x 36 mm and 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers. Vented and perforated steel discs in size 355 x 28 mm and 6-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the rear axle complete this efficient and strong brake system.
.jpg)
The giant size of the brake components and the enormous vehicle performance necessitate the use of BRABUS Monoblock VI or S light-alloy wheels with 19-inch diameter. BRABUS technology partner Yokohama made the record run possible with the help of its ADVAN high-performance tires. The perfect tire/wheel combination for the BRABUS ROCKET features 8.5Jx19 wheels in front with 255/35 ZR 19 tires and 10Jx19 rims with 285/30 ZR 19 tires on the rearaxle.
.jpg)
Specifically for the ROCKET the BRABUS designers have developed a front apron with large air inlets for optimal airflow to radiator and oil coolers. Like all other BRABUS body components for the four-door the front spoiler received its final aerodynamic touches in the wind tunnel. It not only reduces lift on the front axle but also contributes to a further improved drag coefficient.
.jpg)
Its aerodynamic counterpart on the rear axle is the custom-developed BRABUS rear spoiler lip.
It emphasizes the bow-shaped design of the rear and together with the front apron improves directional stability by minimizing aerodynamic lift.
Integrated lights are the main feature of the BRABUS rocker panels and rear apron. Pushing a button on the keyless-entry remote or pulling on a door handle activates five LED lights on either side and in the rear. They illuminate the ground on both sides and behind the vehicle for added user friendliness in the dark.
.jpg)
.jpg)
The BRABUS rear apron is the perfect stylish backdrop for the four tailpipes of the BRABUS high-performance brake system. Its integrated diffuser is also part of the refined BRABUS aerodynamic-enhancement concept for the ROCKET.
The BRABUS ROCKET also meets the expectations of the most discriminating customers when it comes to the interior of one of the world`s most exclusive automobiles. Soft and breathable BRABUS Mastik leather and Alcantara are part of the exclusive BRABUS ambiance as an ergonomically shaped BRABUS sport steering wheel and the speedometer with 400-km/h scale.

To give the new top-of-the-line SUV an even more customized and exclusive appearance BRABUS offers a sporty yet elegantly styled design package. The package components are made from Pur-R-Rim thus making them easy to paint and ensuring OEM quality as well as perfect fit.
.jpg)
The BRABUS on-road front fascia was designed to replace the lower part of the stock bumper. The front fascia with its large air inlets gives the SUV an even more dynamic appearance and reduces lift on the front axle at high speed. The GL front can be further upgraded with BRABUS headlamp inserts with two fog lamps and two high beams each.
The BRABUS rocker panels for the GL-Class provide a more favorable aerodynamic transition between front and rear wheel houses. But that`s not all: Integrated entrance lights and chrome trim strips combine elegant design and added safety. The entrance lights are activated with the keyless-entry remote or by pulling on a door handle.
.jpg)
The BRABUS designer suit for the largest Mercedes SUV is rounded out by a rear fascia with integrated diffuser and cutouts for the BRABUS sport exhaust system with four tailpipes. The program also features an understated rear spoiler that is attached to the liftgate.
The exclusive BRABUS look is further characterized by custom-tailored BRABUS Monoblock wheels in three different designs and sizes from 18 to 22 inches in diameter. The classic polished Monoblock VI design with six double spokes is available for the GL-Class either as multi-piece light-alloy rims in size 9.5Jx20 with size 295/45 ZR 20 tires or as one-piece 10Jx22

BRABUS ROCKET Betters World Record
.jpg)
for Street-Legal Sedans to 366 km/h
BRABUS has been building the world`s fastest street-legal sedans for several years running. This `tradition` started in 1996 with the 330-km/h BRABUS E V12 and reached the next level in 2003 in the guise of the 350.2-km/h E V12 iturbo. In 2006 the BRABUS ROCKET, built in small-series production and based on the Mercedes CLS series, improved the world record to 362.4 km/h. But the BRABUS R&D team wouldn`t be the top-notch engineers they are if they were satisfied with that achievement. That`s why in mid-October of 2006 they once more made the trek to the world-famous high-speed circular track in Nardo, Southern Italy. Under the keen eyes of the German Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV Süd) the 348,000-Euro ultra-performance automobile improved the world record for street-legal sedans to 365.7 km/h.
The BRABUS ROCKET is powered by a twin-turbo BRABUS SV12 S engine, fitted into the tight confines of the four-door`s engine bay with almost surgical precision. The engine is based on the latest 600-series twelve-cylinder engines and was developed by BRABUS with the goal of combining maximum power with exquisite running smoothness and maximum environmental friendliness.
A special crankshaft, larger cylinder bore and larger forged pistons increase displacement from 5.5 to 6.3 liters. Airflow in both intake and outlet manifolds of both cylinder heads is optimized and sport camshafts are installed.
The engine peripherals also underwent numerous modifications: Larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooling system and a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with four exhaust pipes and low back-pressure metal catalysts are all part of the BRABUS Rocket engine concept. Newly programmed engine electronics orchestrate the perfect interaction of all new components and contribute not only to maximum power yield but also to meeting the latest EURO IV emission limits.
The BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo engine, also available for all current Mercedes-Benz 600 and 65 models with twin-turbo V12 engine, produces a maximum power output of 730 hp / 537 kW at 5,100 rpm. Peak torque is 1,320 Nm, but is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm, available from a low 2,100 rpm. The top speed of 365.7 km/h, limited electronically for street-legal operation to 350 km/h, is
not the only attribute that elevates the BRABUS ROCKET to the very top of its segment. The four-door is also among the fastest accelerating cars in the world: 0 – 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, 0 – 200 km/h in 10.5 seconds, 0 – 300 km/h in 29.5 seconds are numbers as unique as this exclusive BRABUS automobile itself.

Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a modified five-speed automatic transmission and the BRABUS locking differential.
The BRABUS ROCKET engine and the entire drivetrain are operated with high-performance lubricants from technology partner ARAL.
To keep the enormous performance potential of the world`s fastest sedan safely in check at all times the vehicle`s aerodynamics, suspension and brakes were modified extensively.
Like all other BRABUS body components for the CLS models the BRABUS ROCKET front spoiler received its final aerodynamic touches in the wind tunnel. Its large air dams ensure optimal cooling-air supply for all radiators. More importantly, it reduces lift on the front axle and contributes to a further improved drag coefficient.
Its aerodynamic counterparts in the rear are the BRABUS rear spoiler lip for the trunk lid and the BRABUS rear fascia with integrated diffuser. They increase downforce and thus create a perfect aerodynamic balance.
The BRABUS rocker panels calm the airflow along the sides. As an additional feature the rocker panels and the rear fascia are equipped with integrated LED lights. Activated by the keyless-entry fob or by pulling on a door or trunk handle five LED lights an either side and in the rear of the vehicle illuminate the ground beside and behind the car.
To make the suspension even more agile and safe the BRABUS suspension engineers and test drivers in cooperation with Bilstein have developed a custom-calibrated height-adjustable coil-over suspension for the ROCKET. The gas-pressure shocks offer six selectable settings for bound and rebound.
Maximum stopping power is yet another active safety feature offered by the BRABUS ROCKET. The high-performance brake system features vented ceramic brake discs in size 375 x 36 mm and 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the front axle. Vented and perforated steel discs in size 355 x 28 mm and 6-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the rear axle complete this efficient and strong brake system.

The giant size of the brake components and the enormous vehicle performance necessitate the use of BRABUS Monoblock VI or S light-alloy wheels with 19-inch diameter. The BRABUS ROCKET features 8.5Jx19 wheels in front with 255/35 ZR 19 tires and 10Jx19 rims with 285/30 ZR 19 tires on the rear axle.
The BRABUS ROCKET also meets the expectations of the most discriminating customers when it comes to the interior: The cockpit is upholstered with soft and breathable BRABUS Mastik leather and Alcantara. Genuine-carbon-fiber applications are part of the sporty BRABUS interior as are an ergonomically shaped BRABUS sport steering wheel and the speedometer with 400-km/h dial.
For high-speed enthusiasts BRABUS sells it polo shirt in a "Special High-Speed Testing Edition." The high-quality shirt costs 75 euros and is available via the online shop at www.brabus.com

A cik jau saražoti CLS BRABUS Rocket? Droši vien jau būs kaut kāds ierobežotais skaits...?! Cik tāds maksā?

Tepat jau rakstīju, ka šis maksā 348,000 EUR. Skaits? -- ierobežots, bet nav noteikts, cik. Pieņemu, ka, ja vari samaksāt, tad uztaisīs! Ja pārāk daudzi "varēs samaksāt", tad pacels cenu un / vai noteiks skaita ierobežojumu...

Gan jau ir. Re, daži filmiņās braukā, tad vēl policijai... To pašu motoru liek arī S un laikam arī E-klasēs, tā kā gan viss notiek! Max tūnētu un turbinētu Brabusu pie mums gan laikam nav, mums līdz šim vienmēr tādi mazliet pieticīgāki eksemplāri ievesti.
