Meer pit voor Mercedes C220 CDI van Brabus

De vorige generatie Mercedes C220 CDI moest zich zien te redden met 150 pk en 340 Nm koppel, maar de nieuwe C220 heeft kreeg standaard al 170 pk en 400 Nm koppel mee. Doordat dieseltjes zich uitstekend laten tunen is het voor Brabus dan ook een koud kunstje om met hun D3 S POWER XTRA upgrade de marges verder op te rekken.

Het vermogen steeg na de upgrade met 50 pk naar 220 pk met 480 Nm koppel. Daardoor zit je met je oliestoker in een nette 7,8 seconde aan de 100 km/u, een winst van 0,7 seconden. De acceleratie stopt bij 239 km/u en dat is 10 km/u meer dan standaard.

Ondanks het extra vermogen blijft de uitstoot binnen de EURO IV emissie norm. Natuurlijk ben je bij Brabus ook aan het goede adres voor allerhande visuele en non-visuele upgrades. Denk dan o.a. aan een aerodynamic-enhancement kit, sportvering, aangepaste remmen en opsmuk voor het interieur.
