The eight-cylinder wolf in sheep's clothing:
The new BRABUS C V8 Sports Coupe with more than 400 hp / 294 kW, 301 km/h top speed and exclusive appointments

For the model year 2002 BRABUS presents its latest generation of eight-cylinder increased-displacement engines based on the Mercedes M 113 three-valve engines. With more than 400 hp / 294 kW and a maximum torque of more than 600 Nm, these engines - run exclusively on ARAL high-performance lubricants - set new standards for performance-tuned Mercedes-Benz engines.

By implanting the new BRABUS V8 in the engine bay of the CL 203 model series, BRABUS created the C V8 Sports Coupe. Power transfer to the rear wheels is handled by a modified five-speed automatic gearbox and a custom rear wheel-drive assembly. The performance of the BRABUS C V8 Sports Coupe elevates it to a unique position among compact cars: With an acceleration time of just 4.5 seconds from 0 - 100 km/h and a top speed of 301 km/h, the three-door is on a level with purebred sportscars.

It features six-piston aluminum fixed-calipers and 355-mm internally ventilated and perforated disks on the front axle and 300-mm disks with four-piston aluminum fixed-calipers in the rear.

Maximum driving safety is also a matter of choosing the perfect tires. BRABUS equips the C V8 Sports Coupe with multi-piece BRABUS Monoblock VI light-alloy wheels and Michelin or Pirelli high-performance tires. The 8.5Jx19 double-spoke rims on the front axle are mounted with tires in size 235/35 ZR 19. The 9.5Jx19 rims on the rear axle handle the enormous V8 power with the help of 265/30 ZR 19 tires.
