2013 Mercedes E63 AMG Wagon by Brabus review and pictures
Mercedes means perfection for a lot of persons. So in these terms to come up with an upgrade is the ultimate challenge for tuning companies. And speaking about tuning, there is no other company more preoccupied by Mercedes cars than Brabus. When a Mercedes-Benz is modified by Brabus you expect the unexpected. This time the high performance tuning company has chosen to work on the Mercedes E63 AMG Wagon.
The upgraded 2014 E63 AMG Wagon will be presented by Brabus at the Essen Motor Show. The most important change that the upgrading kit brings is a power boost. The standard V8 twin-turbo engine got from 5,461cc to 5,912cc and the tuner also installed custom turbos with bigger compressors and bespoke exhaust manifolds. The updated engine develops 850 HP (625 kW) and 1,450 Nm (1,069 lb-ft) instead of the 585 HP (430 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) produced by the standard unit. The car will be electronically-limited to 1,150 Nm (848 lb-ft) to keep the longevity of the engine.
The Brabus tuning package is suitable for both RWD and 4MATIC versions of the E63 AMG Wagon and allows the car to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.1 seconds and to go up to a limited maximum speed of 186 mph (300 km/h) with normal tires. However there is a chance to choose high-performance rubbers case in which the wagon will reach 217 mph (350 km/h).
Brabus is one of the most complex tuning companies and coming from Germany perfection is something necessary in their work. So their tuning packages are not limited just to increasing the engine’s power. That’s how the Mercedes E63 AMG Wagon got a few carbon fiber body parts such as a front spoiler lip and a diffuser insert. The vehicle is also equipped with a new sports exhaust system with quad pipes and sets of alloy wheels that vary in size. Inside the vehicle Alcantara leather made room, as well as aluminum shift paddles and other fine elements.
