Between the base model of the Mercedes C-Class with clear 129 PS and the sporty spearhead Mercedes-AMG C 63 S with potent 510 PS is the golden mean with 367 PS. This variant - which is also the most powerful all-wheel-drive variant of the current Stuttgart mid-range - has been tackled by Brabus and has given it not only more power but also larger wheels and an aerodynamic package.
After a subtle increase in power of the three-liter V6 twin-turbo petrol engine from 32 kW / 43 horsepower and 50 Newton meters to now 302 kW / 410 horsepower and a maximum torque of 570 Newton meters, the 450 4Matic sprints in 4,6 seconds to Tempo 100. In conjunction with the Vmax release included in the power upgrade, the maximum speed of 250 increases to 280 km / h.
As usual, the Daimler experts from Bottrop have renounced a huge visual appearance. A redesigned front spoiler, which is attached to the series bumper, gives the star bearer a more striking face. The aerodynamic part should also minimize the lift on the front axle and thus improve the driving stability at high speed. The matching counterpart is a rear diffuser, which highlights the four chromed tailpipes of the Brabus stainless steel sport exhaust system. The customer also has the choice between different 19 inch light alloy wheels. The interior of the four-wheel drive C 450 is adjusted by the tuner according to the wishes of the owner. Everything is realized, from Brabus door sills made of aluminum to full-weight boot.
For the increase in performance, including installation, 2.640 Euro is due. The light-alloy wheels start from 310 Euro. In addition, one should be in possession of the Mercedes C 450 4Matic, which currently costs at least 60.000 Euro.
