Peak torque grows to 775 Nm at just 3,000 rpm. After the Brabus power infusion, the CLS 55 sprints to 100 km\/h in just 4.3 seconds and passes the 200-km\/h mark after exactly 13.6 seconds on its way to an electronically limited top speed of 310 km\/h.<\/p>\n<p>The enormous potential power of the K8 engines can be transferred to the road surface with the help of the Brabus self-locking differential with 40 percent slip.<\/p>\n<p>A fully stainless steel exhaust system with four tailpipes is available for all CLS engines. The precisely calibrated exhaust systems optimize power and produce a more powerful sound.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Design<\/i><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Brabus designer&#8217;s developed sporty yet elegant aerodynamic package which was optimized in the wind tunnel. All body components for the CLS are manufactured from Pur-R-Rim in OEM quality.<\/p>\n<p>The front spoiler is attached to the production bumper mounts and gives the CLS a more striking appearance. But that&#8217;s not all: Its shape also reduces lift on the front axle. As a counterpart, the rear spoiler lip not only emphasizes the rear, but improves directional stability by minimizing aerodynamic lift. Brabus&#8217; headlamp inserts for the CLS front apron also serve as more than just a visual function: Two fog lamps and two auxiliary high beams provide improved roadway illumination.<\/p>\n<p>Integrated entry lights are the most striking feature of the side sills for the CLS. Pulling on a door handle or operating the keyless-entry remote activates five LED lights on either side of the car. The lights illuminated the ground next to the vehicle for safe entering and exiting in the dark.<\/p>\n<p>The rear apron provides a backdrop for the four tailpipes from sport exhaust system. Its integrated diffuser contributes to the refined aerodynamics concept.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Design<\/i><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Various Brabus suspension kits are available for all CLS models and are specifically calibrated for use with low-profile tires. Sport springs calibrated to the production shocks lower the ride height of the four-door by some 30 millimeters. Requests for an even sportier ride can be fulfilled with the Brabus sport suspension that combines the ride-height lowering with firmer yet comfortable damper settings. For CLS models equipped with Airmatic air suspension Brabus offers an electronic suspension module that lowers the ride height of the coupe by some 25 millimeters.<\/p>\n<p>For reduced body roll in fast corners and even more precise turn-in Brabus offers the installation of custom sport sway bars in the CLS Coupe.<\/p>\n<p>The powerful and fade-resistant Brabus high-performance brake systems are available in three different versions and harmonize with the SBC electronic brake technology.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Interior<\/i><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Exclusive interior designs satisfy any customer request and are a Brabus specialty. The product line-up for the Mercedes CLS ranges from attractive accessories to custom-tailored interiors handcrafted from soft, breathable and durable Mastik leather or Alcantara.<\/p>\n<p>The ergonomically shaped Brabus sport steering wheel is available in several versions with various leather\/wood designs. It provides optimal grip and ensures a relaxed driving position on long-distance trips.<\/p>\n<p>Sill plates with illuminated Brabus logo can add individual highlights as can the markedly sporty interior accessories: among them are aluminum components such as foot-pedal pads, door-lock pins and shift knob, or high-quality exposed carbon inserts for dashboard and center console.<\/p>\n<p>In addition Brabus also offers a custom-tailored multimedia concept for the CLS Coupe that includes a DVD changer, game console and LCD monitors integrated into back of the front headrests.<\/p>\n<figure
