Brabus B50

From the workshop of the German company Brabus comes another upgraded model. It is a Brabus B50 model based on the new generation S Class, S 500.

The Brabus B50 is powered by a 3.0-liter petrol engine with 493 HP and 435 lb-ft of torque, which is 65 hp more than the standard engine in the S500. It only takes 4.7 seconds to reach 62 mph. There is also a diesel S400d 2.9-liter six-cylinder turbo engine that, thanks to the PowerXtra D40 kit, produces 365 HP and 553 lb-ft of torque.

The B50 also received some aerodynamic improvements such as a front spoiler, improved side air intakes, LED markings, an improved rear grille and black chrome exhaust pipes.

For a better look, the B50 has 21-inch forged Monoblock M Platinum Edition alloy wheels. The body is painted black. To achieve contrast, the finest materials in a combination of black and white were used in the interior of the B50.

The price of the upgrade package is not cheap and costs around $ 350,000.

Brabus B45 costs $ 106,000

In January, Brabus introduced the upgraded AMG A45 S model, and now we know its price. The price of the Brabus B45 model in Germany is € 89,131, which makes it more expensive than the BMW M3 model (€ 82,500).

A better version of the Mercedes-AMG A45 appeared seven years ago. Now Brabus has upgraded the new AMG A45 S model. The powerful hatchback was already a production car with the most powerful production four-cylinder engine. However, that did not stop Brabus engineers from extracting more power from the 2.0-liter engine.

Although the base AMG A45 S develops 416 hp and 500 Nm of torque, after the work of Brabus engineers, engine power has been increased to 444 hp and 550 Nm. The tuned model accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds, and the electronic speed limit of 168 mph has not been changed either. Brabus offers a three-year warranty or 100,000 kilometers on engine reliability.

The interior of the car has undergone minor changes. The seats are upholstered in leather. The suspension of the B45 is 30 mm lower than the AMG A45 S. There are aluminum pedals, velor floor mats and illuminated panels. The car also has 20-inch Brabus Monoblock wheels with Continental tires.
