Brabus B53 700 based on the Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid

Leave a comment

Last month, Mercedes presented its most powerful station wagon in the fleet, the E53 Hybrid, and Brabus has already prepared a customization program (B53 700) that makes this car more powerful and exclusive.

The Mercedes-AMG E53 Hybrid arrived as a replacement for the E63 model, with the same power but lower fuel consumption. It is powered by a 3.0-L inline 6-cylinder biturbo engine (449 hp and 560 Nm of torque) combined with an electric motor for a total power of 612 hp and 750 Nm of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission.

However, to take the car’s performance to the next level, Brabus has installed a new front spoiler to minimize front axle lift and increase driving stability at high speeds, additions to the front daytime running lights, four rounded black titanium/carbon tailpipes with a diameter of 90 millimeters at the rear, accents on the fender sides, and a rear spoiler for additional downforce at high speeds. All exterior components are made of high-quality PUR plastic. There are also height-adjustable sports springs that allow the vehicle to be lowered by between 15 and 30 millimeters, which makes the handling even more dynamic.

The interior can be produced in different variants according to the individual wishes of the vehicle owner. Options include stainless steel door sills in two different versions: one with a white illuminated BRABUS logo, the other in a variant in which the BRABUS lettering is illuminated in 64 different colors analogous to the standard ambient lighting, countless colors and various quilting patterns created with maximum precision, carbon or aluminum pedal pads, high-quality BRABUS velor covers with black nubuck edges and silver piping and stitching in the footwell and trunk.

When it comes to the powertrain, the car is still powered by the same hybrid system but with 700 hp and 850 Nm of torque, which is enough to accelerate the approximately 2.3-ton sedan from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 280 km/h. The increase in power is achieved thanks to an additional control unit adapted to the electronic engine.

This customization program is compatible with the sedan and wagon. For the sedan, Brabus has prepared Monoblock Z wheels measuring 9Jx21 at the front and 10.5Jx21 at the rear, while the wagon is fitted with Monoblock M ‘PLATINUM EDITION’ wheels in the same dimensions. The high-performance tires in the dimensions 265/35 ZR 21 and 305/30 ZR 21 are supplied by BRABUS tire technology partners Continental and Hankook.

Smart #5 Brabus has 646 HP

In August 2024, Smart launched its largest and most spacious car, the Smart #5. This mid-size SUV, whose tech-rich interior is worthy of comparison with Mercedes cars, got its tuned version, the Smart #5 Brabus.

The Smart #5 Brabus is the latest project from the German tuning company that combines modern usability and aesthetics. It is 4,705 mm long, which is similar in size to the Mercedes-Benz GLB, with a wheelbase of 2,900 mm. It is equipped with new bumpers and sills, as well as 21-inch Brabus wheels behind which are red brake calipers.

Inside, the heated/cooled front seats are upholstered in imitation suede, while the seat belts and other details are red. In front of the driver is a 10.3-inch digital instrument panel, as well as two 13-inch screens (one for the infotainment system and the other containing a small lion avatar named Leo, as well as a state-of-the-art generative voice AI assistant that uses various sources to accurately respond to almost all questions). Also, there is a 25.6-inch AR head-up display. Other equipment includes a 2,000W Sennheiser sound system with 20 speakers, a panoramic glass roof, and sports pedals.

#5 Brabus is the most powerful Smart car powered by two electric motors with a total power of 646 hp, which is enough to accelerate the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds (with Launch Control) with a top speed of 210 km/h. Its 800V electrical architecture uses a 100 kWh battery in the #5 Premium model and ensures a range of about 540 kilometers. Thanks to fast charging, the battery can be charged to 80 percent of its capacity in 18 minutes.

When it comes to sales, this version will be available to customers in Germany first, starting at the end of April, and will cost 60,900 euros.

Last year, Mercedes introduced the second generation of the super-powerful Mercedes-AMG GT 63. It is an extraordinary high-performance car on which Brabus based its project, the Brabus 750.

The car has received a wide range of aerodynamic carbon components such as a front spoiler, side fender inserts, front grill inserts, rear diffuser, rear spoiler, and a flap sports exhaust system. There are also sports springs that lower the car by 25 mm and forged 22-inch Monoblock Platinum Edition wheels. The interior is equipped with illuminated carbon sills, aluminum or carbon pedals, velor floor mats, and a large number of seat upholstery and color options.

Under the hood is a 4.0-L twin-turbo V8 engine with 750 hp (559 kW) and 663 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque, up from the standard 577 hp (430 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds faster than the factory model, with a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph).
