In a first step there will be performance kits forthe eight-cylinder models that deliver up to 537 kW / 730 hp (720 bhp) of power, 1,065 Nm(785 lb-ft) of torque, a top speed up to 325 km/h (202 mph), tailor-made wheels withdiameters up to 21 inches, and exclusive options for the interior.

BRABUS offers the world's most extensive engine tuning program for Mercedes-Benzautomobiles, which of course will be adapted to the new S-Class. In a first step customers willbe able to choose from several performance kits for the V8 Biturbo engines.

The special mapping for injection and ignition as well as the moderately increased boostpressure of the plug-and-play BRABUS B50 - 520 PowerXtra CGI performance kit unleash anextra 65 horsepower from 4.7-liter eight-cylinder Biturbo engine of the S 500.

After the conversion, power output jumps from 335 kW / 455 hp (449 bhp) to 382 kW / 520 hp(512 bhp), while peak torque grows to 820 Nm (604 lb-ft). With it, the four-door caraccelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.2 seconds. The BRABUS Vmax unit that is part ofthe engine conversion allows limiting the top speed electronically to 250, 275 or 300 km/h(155, 168 or 186 mph).

Various ultra-powerful tuning levels offering up to 107 kW / 145 hp (143 bhp) of added powerare available for the S 63 AMG, which ex-factory produces 430 kW / 585 hp (576 bhp): the

BRABUS B63 - 650 PowerXtra CGI version serves up 478 kW / 650 hp (641 bhp) at a low5,500 rpm. At the same time, peak torque jumps from 700 to 1,000 Nm (516 to 737 lb-ft), ontap between 2,250 and 3,750 rpm.

Also available is the BRABUS B63S - 730 high-performance version, which is unmistakablethanks to the distinctive BRABUS Gold Heat Reflection system for the intake and charge-airpipes. Replacing the two production turbochargers with two special BRABUS turbos withlarger compressor unit generates a higher boost pressure. For even more added power theengine conversion also includes a low-temperature water radiator for the intercooling system,a free-flow exhaust system with metal catalysts and 75-mm (3-in.) thick downpipes, as well asspecial BRABUS mapping for the engine management system.

The BRABUS B63S - 730 engines produces 537 kW / 730 hp (720 bhp) of power at a low

5,300 rpm. Peak torque is limited electronically to 1,065 Nm (785 lb-ft) and availableconsistently between 1,750 and 5,000 rpm. Top speed is limited electronically to a maximumof 325 km/h (202 mph) by the BRABUS Vmax unit that is part of the conversion.

BRABUS recommends the use of fully synthetic MOTUL high-performance motor oil.

As the ideal complement to the engine conversions or for combining with the productionengines, BRABUS offers a sport exhaust system with controlled butterfly valve for all new S500 and S 63 AMG models. At the push of a button on the steering wheel drivers can choosewhether to operate the V8 in a discrete "Coming Home" mode or to enjoy a markedly throatyexhaust note in the "Sport" position.

At the high speeds these vehicles attain the aerodynamic properties are also a crucial factor.
