It was only a matter of time before Brabus turned their attention to the new E-Class Cabriolet after having already tuned the sedan and the coupe. The German tuner has given the cabriolet aesthetic updates both on the exterior and the interior as well as some mechanical updates.
On the exterior, newly designed front sport fenders widen the track and allow the installation of ultra-wide 9.5Jx19 wheels mounted with size 265/30 ZR 19 tires. In addition, an updated front apron to reduce lift with LED daytime running lights has been integrated for a distinct look. In the back, special carbon-fiber rear fender flares add 60 millimeters (2.4 inches) to the width of the E-Class Cabriolet to make space for space for ten-inch wide wheels mounted with high-performance tires.
For the interior, Brabus covered the cockpit in a perfectly finished combination of lipstick-red and black leather. Other enhancements include an ergonomically shaped Brabus steering wheel and inlays made from genuine carbon fiber on the dashboard, center console and side trim.
Engine updates bumped the displacement from the standard 5.5 to 6.3 liters by installing a special crankshaft with a longer stroke and larger pistons in conjunction with increased cylinder bore bumps. The BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo powertrain, transforms the four-seater convertible into the most powerful and fastest of its kind in the world. A total of 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW at 5,500 rpm and peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft), limited electronically in the car to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft), are as unique as the driving performance this car delivers. The Brabus 800 E V12 Cabriolet boasts a sprint time of 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds.
