But the Brabus S63 930 is the best of the best. And still extremely expensive.
It is a combination that simply works very well: Brabus and a Mercedes-Benz S-class. The S-Class is the best car Mercedes-Benz makes and Brabus makes the best things even better.
With an absolute focus on top performance, a Brabus is often slightly sportier, without losing sight of comfort. And also tasty: Brabus is top quality with excellent warranty conditions. They not only increase the power, but also modify everything around it. You always get a 3-year warranty on a new Brabus. You don't get that at the tjoenert at the corner.
A while ago we were able to show you the Brabus S-Class. The basis of that car was the S500. The S63 AMG is the basis for the car you see in these photos. You know, the E-Performance plug-in hybrid. The maximum power of the Brabus S63 930 is, as the name suggests, 930 hp.
Just a chip?
That is the system power. The system torque is 1,510 Nm. Those are extreme values. Brabus does not say what they did about it. We think the reason for this is quite simple: not much has been done. The combination already produces 830 hp as standard. So you can probably get all this power and torque with an external ECU and sports exhaust.
The performance is of course to die for. Sprinting from 0-100 km/h is completed in 3.2 seconds. That is indeed extremely fast for such a large and black limo. However, the top speed of 290 km/h is quite modest. Without a limiter you should easily be able to reach 300 km/h in a standard S63. The reason for the modest top speed: probably the weight.
And beyond that?
Another thing is that the battery runs out quite quickly at these kinds of speeds. So you lose the extra 190 hp of the electric motor, while the combustion engine has to do everything. That produces extra heat (which you don't want), so it's not a bad idea to use a limiter. In addition to the ECU, there is also a sports exhaust system with valves, so you can choose between slightly discreet or quite antisocial, depending on your state of mind or upbringing.
Of course, there are also the necessary exterior changes for the Brabus S63 930. Brabus calls these changes 'sporty yet elegant'. We call it 'ordinary but thick'. There are various carbon features (grille (with raim-air), splitter, skirts, spoiler and diffuser) that not only look cool, but also offer aerodynamic benefits. The wheels are the Monoblock ZM's, in size 9×22 (front) and 10.5×22 (rear). The tires are of course also very large: 265/35 ZR22 at the front and 305/30 ZR22 at the rear. You can bet that at Profile Tyrecenter they will hang a photo of you and your dog in the canteen.
Price…
Brabus will build a maximum of 120 units, they say. Nothing to the detriment of Brabus, but we hear these types of messages just a little too often. Tuners that make a limited edition of 50 to 250 pieces. This is kind of the circulation they normally do. In any case, you can also order many parts separately to make your own Brabus S63 930.
So yes, it is a very nice car, but we do miss the Brabus technology a bit. They used to put big twelve-cylinder engines in these types of cars. Then the starting price of 481,000 euros (19 percent VAT (Germany, we have 21%), no BPM) is quite expensive. Because basically it is a chipped S63 with different wheels, some carbon frills and a new interior. For context: an S63 AMG now costs you 231,170 euros and you can also get it in black.
