Cheers, I can’t afford an E anyways but been looking at a c63s estate to replace my 204 saloon and see Brabus do a 650 pack for it but as is usual if there is no price I usually can’t afford! laugh Did you drive yours standard before the Brabus work? How does it sound now?
The 650PS kit is around 15k + VAT and fitting, includes new turbos, I think the 600PS kit is better value at £5k +... The torque is very similar, just doesn't have the top end horsepower. I had it on a 2016 C63 S Coupe and was very happy with it.

I didn't drive the E before it was converted so can't comment on before and after but it is biblically quick as you'd imagine. The sound is great albeit a bit quieter than the earlier 4.0 lump which didn't have a PPF.

What a machine.

Do Brabus offer the 900 Rocket E class estate?
Not any more, I think that was based on dropping in the AMG V12 which isn't available any more.

I think about 800 PS/ 1,000 NM is about the sweet spot for a road car. They also now will only put the 800 kit in 4matic cars with the stronger version of the 4.0 engine i.e. E, G, GT63 or S (LHD)

Isn’t this entire thread based on “no kill like overkill?”

Both tents. And despite camping “light”, we still filled it.
Also, it gets light at 4:30 at the moment.

Not quite in the same league as the other motors, but not bad for 700 quid. Volvo V70 2.5 turbo permanent AWD.

126k miles, FSH, drives like new. It's got an equipment level that's astonishing for a 15 year old car, and even better, it all works smile I bought it as a dog transport/shopping car, unfortunately 22mpg means it's not that practical. Still, depending on which spec sheet you read, it's got somewhere from low to mid 200s bhp, which feels about right. It doesn't half hustle along for such a big old bus!

Did Brabus ever make a special version of the E63S the one with the 5.5 V8 bi Turbo?

Or only the 5.4v8 E55K and they skipped the 6.2v8?
