The New S 63 AMG


S 63 AMG

The New ML 63 AMG 4MATIC


ML 63 AMG 4MATIC

The New E 63 AMG

The New C 63 AMG

The new C 63 AMG

A 6.3-litre naturally-aspirated V8 engine, 336 kW (457 hp), 600 Nm of torque, 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, top speed 250 km/h – the specification and performance data of the new C 63 AMG speak for themselves.


But the only way to really appreciate the calibre of this exceptional vehicle is to drive it. The fifth generation of the AMG C-Class offers a perfect blend of extraordinarily impressive performance and expressive design. Outstanding power and agility are guaranteed by the combination of the AMG V8 engine and the perfectly matched AMG sports suspension with a newly developed, wider front axle and AMG speed-sensitive sports steering. The 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission ensures optimum delivery of engine power to the road, enhances driving dynamics with its ultra-smooth downshifts and makes for an even more enjoyable drive with its throttle-blip function. The new, specially optimised three-stage Electronic Stability Program ESP® and the AMG high-performance brake system also play key roles in delivering a safe and enjoyable driving experience. 


But the really great thing about the C 63 AMG is that it is a genuine Mercedes-Benz in every respect – with all that that implies with regard to long-distance comfort, handling and safety – and offers an ideal combination of high performance and everyday practicality.

 

True attraction: the design

The C 63 AMG looks powerful even from the outside. Take for example the new engine bonnet with two pronounced powerdomes as well as the special AMG radiator grille with its central star and two chromed louvres. The chrome-edged fog lamps which extend outwards emphasise the width of the vehicle, as do the flared front wings. The side air vents in the front apron provide an outlet for the heat from the additional oil-cooler. When equipped with the optional bi-xenon headlamps or the Intelligent Light System, the C 63 AMG features dark-tinted headlamp lenses. From the side, the high-sheen 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in a titanium grey finish, the shapely integral "6.3 AMG” lettering on the wings and the AMG side skirts catch your eye. From the back the AMG rear apron with black diffuser inserts and three distinctive diffuser fins plus the AMG sports exhaust system with two chrome twin tailpipes and standard tail lights with LED technology set the accents typical of Mercedes. The AMG spoiler lip on the boot lid reduces lift and provides better driving stability.


Exclusive optional features are available for the C 63 AMG from the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO. These include the AMG Performance Package, high-sheen 19-inch multi-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels painted in titanium grey and AMG carbon-fibre trim elements. 

(C 63 AMG: fuel consumption combined: 13.4 l/100 km)

Naza-Brabus Introduces one of the world's fastest coupe in Malaysia - CLV12s


Naza-Brabus Motor Sdn. Bhd . presents its latest high-end models- never been seen before on Malaysian roads- the Brabus CLV12s, the converted Mercedes CL-Class equipped with the dynamic SV12 engine at its flagship showroom at Jalan Ara, Bangsar Baru. Executive Vice President of Naza-Brabus Motor Sdn. Bhd., SM Faisal Dato Seri Utama SM Nasimuddin welcomed 30 journalists from the members of the auto press to the exclusive Media Preview.

Brabus is the World's Largest Performance Manufacturer and has been known to be the best tuner 2 years in row in Germany . Brabus offers the ultimate motoring experience from A to Z and transforms standard vehicles into a dream car by meeting specific personal requests. The high quality standards Brabus sets for its own products, development work and services are well regarded in the automotive industry, and recognized by the German Federal Motor Vehicle Registration Agency.

Therefore, no aspect is spared behind in a Brabus Vehicle. The unmistakable Brabus mark is obvious in the luxurious upholstery, deluxe steering wheels and high grade wood paneling. The exterior boasts signature Brabus aerodynamic kits and special Monoblock alloy wheels, to name few superfluities, a range of boutique products are also available featuring shirts to timepieces and even calendars.

The CLV12s is customized with luxurious interiors which is yet another BRABUS specialty. However, what is much to shout about the model is primarily its engine displacement. The V12s displacement engine was debuted at last year's Geneva International Motor Show in the SV12S which was labeled as The World's Fastest and Most Powerful Luxury Sedan with speeds of 340-km/h. The vehicle is based on the new Mercedes S 600 powered by a BRABUS S V12 S Biturbo twelve-cylinder engine with 730 hp / 537 kW and a peak torque of 1,320 Nm. The CLV12s is the coupe version of the luxury production with the same engine displacement and power.

The company believes every of our customers are different with individual needs, with that the company has built its business to cater for performance, luxurious interior, exterior outlook to a lifestyle that helps in the business and personal network. You don't just buy a car you buy a �BRABUS Lifestyle�

Media InformationThe Biturbo engine

At the heart of this exclusive automobile is the BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo engine. It is based on the turbocharged Mercedes 600 twelve-cylinder engine and represents the most powerful street-legal V12 engine in the world. Installing a special BRABUS crankshaft with longer stroke, combined with a bigger bore and correspondingly sized forged pistons, increases displacement from 5.5 to 6.3 liters. Further engine modifications also include precision-machining the cylinder heads and fitting them with four special camshafts.

The BRABUS S V12 S Biturbo coupe is not just the most powerful; it is also the fastest street-legal of its kind. 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 are all without equal.

The BRABUS S V12 S Biturbo engine is a prime example that nothing can replace displacement except more displacement. A special crankshaft with longer stroke, forged pistons with a larger diameter and an increased cylinder bore result in a displacement increase from standard 5.5 to now 6.3 liters. In addition the inlet and outlet ports of both cylinder heads are optimized for improved mixture flow. Four special camshafts also contribute to that same effect.

Aerodynamics design

SV12: The Coupe

If the SV12s is the world's fastest sedan, then the CLV12s is the world's fastest and most powerful coupe, driving at 730 hp and 340 km/h . The CLV12s has a more sporty outlook compared to the sedan, with differences basically on the specially-designed BRABUS front bumper, side skirt with illuminated light, rear bumper and sports rim.

The enormous performance of the BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo coupe places exceptionally high demands on the aerodynamic-enhancement parts that were developed in the wind tunnel. The sophisticated shape of the BRABUS front apron reduces lift on the front axle and improves engine and front brake cooling due to its large air inlet. Integrated fog lamps and high beams lend the car a characteristic appearance and further improve active safety by optimizing illumination of the road.

The BRABUS rocker panels optimize the airflow along the sides and feature integrated entrance lights for safe entering and exiting of the vehicle in the dark.

The BRABUS rear apron sports custom-tailored cutouts for the BRABUS quad sport exhaust. Three LED lights integrated into the apron are also activated via the keyless fob. An understated rear spoiler rounds out the sophisticated BRABUS aerodynamics concept, and reduces lift on the rear axle for further improved directional stability at high speeds.

The enormous performance of the BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo coupe is kept safely in check at all times thanks to custom-tailored solutions for tires, suspension and brakes. Among them are BRABUS Monoblock light-alloy wheels with diameters of 18, 19, 20 or 21 inches. The largest tire/wheel combination features BRABUS Monoblock VI and E wheels in sizes 9Jx21 in front and 10.5Jx21 on the rear axle. The largest corresponding tires are size 265/30 ZR 21 in front and size 295/30 ZR 21 in the rear. BRABUS recommends Pirelli and YOKOHAMA high-performance tires.

The product lineup for the new BRABUS S V12 S Biturbo ranges from sill plates with BRABUS logo to ergonomically shaped safety steering wheels with airbag to an exclusive BRABUS interior crafted from especially soft yet Mastik leather and the finest Alcantara. The large wheels also create the necessary space to install the BRABUS high-performance brake system with 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers and 380 x 36-mm vented and cross-drilled discs in front, and 355 x 28-mm discs and six-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the rear axle.
