Brabus, the tuning house responsible for the meanest Mercs in existence, has revealed the details of its new V-Class package.

Styling updates includes a new bumpers front and rear, four tailpipe sports exhaust system, 18- or 19-inch alloy wheels and a ride height drop of between 15-25mm.

On the inside Brabus has thrown in Alcantara seats, carbon fibre trim and aluminium pins for the door locks. Customers can also specify the multimedia package, which includes a 16-inch LCD screen, Apple TV and a Blu-ray player.

As for power, Brabus hasn’t gone as overboard as on some of the other models, but the V250 BlueTec has been tuned to develop 33kW and 70Nm extra. That’s enough power to get the V-Class Brabus to 100km/h in 8,8 seconds.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
