2010 BRABUS E-Class Cabriolet

(from BRABUS press release)

2010 BRABUS Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet

Exclusive, sporty and highly individual: These three attributes best describe the BRABUS
custom program for the new E-Class Cabriolet that will be available in time for the car’s
market launch. As for all other Mercedes models BRABUS offers
an extensive product lineup for the E-Class Cabriolet that leaves nothing to be desired. The
lineup features engine tuning, including the BRABUS 6.1 capacity engine with 462 hp (456
bhp) / 340 kW of power, a dynamically styled aerodynamic-enhancement program, custom-
tailored wheels with diameters ranging from 17 to 20 inches, corresponding sport
suspensions and striking interior options.

The BRABUS engine specialists unleash the true power inherent in the common-rail
turbodiesel engines and CGI BlueEFFICIENCY direct-injection gasoline engines with ECO
PowerXtra performance kits.

The BRABUS ECO Power Extra D4 power kit bumps rated power output of the four-cylinder
turbodiesel engine of the E 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY model from standard 204 hp (201
bhp) / 150 kW to 235 hp (232 bhp) / 173 kW. Simultaneously peak torque grows to 560 Nm
(413 lb-ft).

The BRABUS ECO PowerXtra D6 (III) module for the six-cylinder turbodiesel engine of the E
350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY model bumps power output to 272 hp (268 bhp) / 200 kW and
peak torque to 590 Nm (435 lb-ft).

BRABUS ECO PowerXtra CGI tuning increases power output of the E 250 CGI
BlueEFFICIENCY gasoline model from standard 204 hp (201 bhp) / 150 kW to 230 hp (227
bhp) / 169 kW at a low 5,500 rpm. Peak torque jumps from 310 Nm to 350 Nm (229 to 258
lb-ft).

In the E 350 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY model with direct-injection gasoline engine BRABUS
tuning provides an additional 18 hp (18 bhp) / 13.2 kW.

The most powerful BRABUS option for the Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet is the BRABUS 6.1
capacity engine. The V8 engine of the E 500 (US: E550) model is modified extensively. A
steel billet crankshaft with longer stroke, larger cylinder bore and correspondingly larger

pistons affect a displacement increase from 5.5 to 6.1 liters (336 to 372 cubic inch). The
engine conversion further includes four-valve cylinder heads optimized for mixture flow,
installation of special camshafts and the BRABUS stainless-steel sport exhaust system with
high-performance metal catalysts. Custom-programmed engine electronics ensure the
precise interaction of all new components.

Like all BRABUS engines the BRABUS 6.1 capacity engine is lubricated exclusively with
ARAL high-performance synthetic motor oil. It produces a rated power output of 462 hp (456
bhp) / 340 kW and a peak torque of 615 Nm (453 lb-ft) at a low 3,100 rpm. Powered by this
engine, the E-Class convertible sprints from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.7 seconds
and reaches a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). This level of performance places the tuned
E-Class Cabriolet firmly among the world’s fastest four-seater soft-top cars.

BRABUS backs all components with the one-of-a-kind BRABUS Tuning Warranty of three
years, up to 100,000 kilometers / 62,000 miles (see BRABUS warranty conditions as of
November 2006).

Stainless-steel BRABUS sport exhaust systems are available for all E-Class models and
offer optimized power yield, a sporty exhaust note and striking looks with four exhaust tips.

To lend the new convertible an even more breathtaking appearance the BRABUS designers
have developed a sporty yet elegant aerodynamic-enhancement package manufactured from
high-quality Pur-R-Rim plastics in OEM quality. The BRABUS front spoiler features
integrated LED daytime running lights and lends the Mercedes an even more succinct frontal
appearance. But that’s not all: This aerodynamic component also reduces unwanted lift on
the front axle at high speed.

The side view receives some added pizzazz with BRABUS front sport fenders with integrated
air openings. The BRABUS rear valance with centrally mounted reflector and custom cutouts
left and right provides the perfect backdrop for the BRABUS quad sport exhaust. The
understated BRABUS rear spoiler is essential for the car’s excellent aerodynamic balance at
high speeds.

One-piece or multi-piece BRABUS Monoblock alloy wheels with diameters of 17, 18 or 19
inches round out the exclusive BRABUS look. The largest tire/wheel combination for the E-
Class Cabriolet features BRABUS Monoblock VI, E, Q or S wheels in size 8.5Jx19 on the
front axle and in size 9.5Jx19 in back. The optimal high-performance tires come from Pirelli

and YOKOHAMA in size 235/35 ZR 19 in front and up to size 275/30 ZR 19 on the rear axle.
20-inch BRABUS wheels will be available for the new Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet in the
near future.

The BRABUS suspension solutions are calibrated specifically to the use with these sporty
low-profile tires. The available options range from sport springs, which lower the ride height
of the two-door by some 30 millimeters (1.2 inches), to height-adjustable coil-over
suspensions with variable damper rates.

Maximum active safety is also a top priority when it comes to brakes: Various BRABUS high-
performance brake systems are available including the top-of-the-line version with six-piston
aluminum fixed calipers and 360-mm (14.2 inches) vented and perforated discs on the front
axle and four-piston aluminum fixed calipers in the rear.

BRABUS also offers the perfect interior customization experience for the soft-top Mercedes:
The interior program includes stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated BRABUS logo, an
ergonomically shaped BRABUS sport steering wheel and genuine carbon-fiber elements in a
number of different colors for dashboard, center console and door panels..

BRABUS wood inlays add a special flair of exclusivity. Special production techniques allow
these inlays to be manufactured in any color imaginable with polished, matte or open-pore
surface finishes.

The BRABUS upholstery shop transforms especially soft yet durable BRABUS Mastik leather
and Alcantara into gorgeous interiors according to customers’personal color and design
preferences.
