This 700 hp monster is expected to prove extremely popular for the German tuning company. Modest upgrades and a subtle but unique styling kit adds a new appeal to the super saloon.

Brabus have a series of power packages, for the Brabus 700 Mercedes-AMG E63, the PowerXtra B40 – 700 package has been applied to the basic Mercedes-AMG E 63 S 4MATIC+. The 4.0 litre V8 gets an additional 88 hp thanks to a plug-and-play auxiliary control unit with new mapping for injection, ignition and boost pressure.

The standard car’s range of optional 20-inch wheels are clearly not spangly enough, as Brabus has seen fit to add a set of 21-inch rims. The exterior is finished off with a range of carbonfibre aero pieces, including a new front splitter, rear spoiler and rear diffuser.

On the inside, you’ll find two-tone black and red leather seats, with some rather tasty quilting going on. There are also lashings of Alcantara, as well as new aluminium gear shift paddles, pedals and door lock pins.
