Brabus Mercedes B-Class

Brabus is the first after-market tuner to optimize the new Mercedes B-Class model with performance upgrades for both diesel and petrol fuelled versions. (Stefan Wagner , 08.02.2012)

Sporting plus for the family car

Brabus have left the van-style carosserie of the B-Class auto pretty much untouched. There is a new front spoiler attached to the stock fender to give just a bit more sporting character and at the back a skirt insert accommodates the new quad tailpipes of the sports exhaust system. So that it is not just the look which is more sporty Brabus have installed sports springs which lower the body by about three centimetres. With rims sized 17, 18 or 19 inches the rubber mounted can be up to 225/35R19 at the front and 255/30R19 at the back and thus offers improved contact with the road surface.

: Brabus have lowered the body of the B-Class model by about three centimetres and rims sized 17, 18 or 19 inches improve the driving dynamics.

Interior enhancements

Brabus propose for the modified B-Class an interior package with stainless steel door sills and door posts with pedal surfaces in aluminium. The client who wants something even more exclusive such as full leather upholstery or a high-end multimedia installation will, of course, find Brabus happy to cooperate. Performance upgrades for both diesel and petrol fuelled power plants are in the pipeline and so in this regard patience is called for.
