2007 Brabus CL Coupe

(from Brabus Press Release)  Concurrent with the market introduction of the new Mercedes CL-class BRABUS (www.brabus.com) already presents an extensive and exclusive tuning program.

Engine tuning with up to 730 hp / 537 kW, light-alloy wheels up to 21 inches in diameter and
sporty yet elegant aerodynamic-enhancement parts are on the available-options list as are a
sport suspension, a high-performance brake system and exclusive interior appointments. Just
as unique is the BRABUS Tuning Warranty® of three years up to 100,000 kilometers (see
BRABUS warranty conditions as of June 2003).

The top performance level from BRABUS for the CL 600 is the BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo
engine. To increase swept volume from standard 5.5 to 6.3 liters the engine block is reworked
and fitted with a special crankshaft with longer stroke, and with larger, forged pistons. The inlet
and outlet ports of both cylinder heads are machined for optimal gas flow further aided by four
special camshafts.

The BRABUS engine specialists further equip the motor with larger turbochargers, a more
efficient intercooling system and a stainless-steel high-performance quad exhaust with low-
back-pressure metal catalysts. Newly programmed engine electronics ensure perfect interaction
of all new components, and contribute not only to maximizing power yield but also to meeting
strict current emission limits.

The maximum power output of 730 hp / 537 kW at 5,100 rpm represents a superlative for the
BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo engine as does the peak torque of 1,320 Nm at 2,100 rpm. In the
vehicle peak torque is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm.

These extraordinary performance figures make the BRABUS SV12 S coupe not just one of the
most powerful but also one of the fastest GT's in the world. 0 – 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, 200
km/h after just 11.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 340 km/h speak volumes.
Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a modified five-speed automatic transmission. An
optional BRABUS rear locking differential optimizes traction. All BRABUS powertrain
components are operated with ARAL high-performance lubricants.

Engine tuning is also available for the CL 500 model. The options start with the B8 tuning kit for
an increased power output of 419 hp / 308 kW and culminate in the BRABUS 6.1 displacement
engine with 462 hp / 340 kW at 6,200 rpm and a peak torque of 615 Nm at 3,100 rpm.

To add more sporty emphasis to the elegant lines of the new C 216-series Mercedes coupe the
BRABUS designers have developed an aerodynamic-enhancement kit, manufactured from
high-quality PUR-R-RIM in OEM quality.

The BRABUS front bumper was shaped in the wind tunnel. Its sophisticated shape reduces lift
on the front axle. The large central air dam optimizes cooling of engine and front brakes.
Integrated fog lamps and high beams give the car a more charismatic appearance and improve
active safety through better illumination of the roadway.

The BRABUS rocker panels were designed to optimize airflow along the vehicle's sides. As a
useful additional feature these panels come with integrated entrance lights.

The bolt-on rear fascia is designed to perfectly integrate the fully stainless-steel BRABUS quad
sports exhaust into the rear appearance. The sport exhaust is also available without engine
tuning. The rear fascia also features three LED lights recessed in the underside of the fascia.
They are activated when the trunk lid is opened and facilitate loading and unloading the trunk in
the dark. An understated rear spoiler rounds out the sophisticated BRABUS aerodynamics
concept.

Just as important for a customized appearance and for sporty handling are custom-tailored
wheels. The new CL can be fitted with BRABUS Monoblock light-alloy wheels in various widths
and designs with 18-, 19-, 20- and 21-inch diameters. The largest tire/wheel combination for the
C 216 series are BRABUS Monoblock VI and E wheels in sizes 9Jx21 in front and 10.5Jx21 on
the rear axle. For optimal tires BRABUS selected Pirelli and Yokohama high-performance tires
in sizes 255/30 ZR 21 in front and 285/30 ZR 21 in the rear.

Specifically matched to this tire/wheel combination is the BRABUS lowering module for the
standard ABC suspension. It lowers the ride height of the two-door by some 25 millimeters.

To keep the exceptional performance safely in check at all times the Mercedes can be fitted
with a BRABUS high-performance brake system. The top-of-the-line version features 12-piston
fixed aluminum calipers and 380 x 36-millimeter vented and cross-drilled discs on the front axle.
The rear axle decelerates with 355 x 28-millimeter discs and six-piston fixed aluminum calipers.

The interior of the new Mercedes coupe offers numerous opportunities for exclusive BRABUS
treatments. The list of products ranges from door sills with BRABUS logo to ergonomically
shaped sport steering wheels to an exclusive BRABUS fully leather interior crafted from
especially soft yet durable BRABUS Mastik leather and the finest Alcantara.
