2011 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class upgraded by Brabus

Due to the fact that winter is aboout to come, and special equipment is required for this special season, Brabus has decided to prepare a modification package for the all-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz CL and S500 models, and not only the “shoes” have been taken care of, but the power has been boosted and the standard speed limiter has been removed as well.

The 435-hp, 4.7-liter V8 is used as standard on the CL and the S500 and the Brabus B50-490 engine tuning makes use of the PowerXtra module, remaping the ignition and the electronic boost-pressure control resulting the output increased to 490 hp while its peak torque rises to 575 lb-ft.

These features are also present on the B50-520 package but the output is 520 hp and 604 lb-ft of torque. After the integration with the B50-520 kit, the Brabus Vmax unit was able to reach a speed of 186 mph after the standard speed limiter that sets the speed at 155 mph is removed, which means that a Brabus speedometer with a 220-mph dial would have to be installed.

Brabus added a stainless-steel exhaust system with a butterfly valve and quad tailpipes with a sportier exhaust note in order to improve the sound.

And as far as aerodynamics are concerned, a kit for the non-AMG 2011 Mercedes CL-classhas been created by Brabus, which features a new rear fascia, a front spoiler designed in the wind tunnel, stylized air vents in the new side skirts, and a spoiler. There is also available the customized wheels between 18 inches and 22 inches option which is covered with Continental, Pirelli or Yokohama snow tires.
The use of a lowering module for the standard suspension drops the car by an inch.
In addition, high-performance, six-piston brakes are attached to cross-drilled rotors that measure 16 inches in front and 15 inches in back.

These two cars will be unveiled by Brabus at the Essen Motor Show, comparable to the SEMA of Germany.
