Brabus 600 based on Mercedes-Maybach S580 4Matic

The German high-performance tuning company introduced its new product, Brabus 600. It is a new masterpiece from the workshop of the German tuner based on the luxurious Mercedes-Maybach S580 4Matic.

The Brabus 600 received a subtle body kit consisting of components made of carbon fiber with a glossy or matte finish, such as a front lip spoiler that reduces the lift of the front axle and better air flow to the front brakes and radiator, a rear diffuser with large cutouts for the ends of the sports exhaust pipe system. There are also a lot of dark chrome elements that complete not only the visual appearance but also the functionality. The car is equipped with an adjustable suspension that allows height adjustment of up to 20 millimeters via the BRABUS SportXtra

Inside, the seats are upholstered in Turquoise Blue leather that covers the entire interior of the car, combined with many carbon accents. Leather covers the floor mats as well as the steering wheel.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Brabus 600 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin turbocharged V8 engine with 600 hp (441 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted automatically or manually. It reaches 62 mph in 4.5 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). It is mounted on 22-inch Monoblock M “Platinum Edition” forged wheels.

The German tuner Brabus is a specialist for big brands such as Mercedes, BMW and Porsche, now the Smart model has come out of its workshop. It is the all-electric crossover Smart #1 Brabus presented at the recently held auto show in China.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in black leather and Alcantara with red stitching. The same combination can be seen on the dashboard and door panels, while the steering wheel is covered in black leather with red stitching. There’s also plenty of other accessories and the Brabus logo on the headrests.

When it comes to propulsion, Brabus has placed an electric motor up front with 154 hp (113 kW) and 148 lb-ft (200 Nm) of torque, while a second electric motor with 268 hp (197 kW) and 253 lb-ft (343 Nm) of torque placed on the rear axle. Thus, the total power of the crossover is raised to 422 hp (310 kW) and 400 lb-ft (543 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.7 seconds, and thanks to the 66 kWh battery, it will have a range of less than 440 kilometers.

New aerodynamic kit for Mercedes EQS

With the increased demand for electric vehicles, many were of the opinion that the future of tuners was threatened. However, Brabus has shown with its latest creation that even electric cars can be a good basis for an upgrade. Such is the case with the Mercedes EQS, which the tuner equipped with a special aerodynamic package.

The EQS 450 is Mercedes’ most powerful electric model, for which Brabus has prepared a new carbon front spoiler, front lip, trims for the side air intakes, rear diffuser, rear spoiler in glossy or matte finish. All this had an effect on increasing driving stability. The drag coefficient is now 0.20, making the EQS the best in its segment when it comes to production cars.

Inside, the car is decorated with an illuminated BRABUS logo on the door sills, aluminum and carbon pedals, as well as a combination of elaborately quilted leather and velor. Each owner can personalize the interior of the car as they wish.

The Mercedes EQS 450 is powered by an electric engine with 329 hp (245 kW) and 417 lb-ft (568 Nm) of torque and has a range of 397 miles (640 km). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 1-speed gearbox. It reaches 62 mph in 6.2 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). It is equipped with a 107.8 kWh battery that can be charged to 80 percent in 32 minutes thanks to the fast charger. Better aerodynamics have increased the range by 7 percent when the car is traveling between 100 and 140 km/h, so the range is now 425 miles (685 km).

Brabus also equipped the car with SportXtra suspension, which allows the front part to be lowered by 15 mm and the rear by 25 mm. It sits on a 22-inch set of forged Monoblock Z “Platinum Edition” wheels wrapped in 255/35 ZR22 (front) and 295/30 ZR22 (rear) tires.
