BRABUS Tuned-Up The New Mercedes-Benz C-Class

BRABUS, the Dusseldorf, Germany-based high-performance tuning company for Mercedes-Benz and Maybach vehicle models has created a new exclusive sport tuning program for the newly launched Mercedes-Benz C-Class entry level luxury sedan. This will add up to the BRABUS product lineup of tuned up Mercedes models. The BRABUS C-Class comes with a wide range of BRABUS exterior performance parts to enhance the sporty appearance and driving dynamics of the vehicle. BRABUS front spoiler, three-piece aerodynamic rear spoiler, improved air inlets, and BRABUS style rocker panels that creates an aerodynamic change between the front and rear wheel arches. The BRABUS engineering and design team placed the C-Class in a wind tunnel test to develop these high-quality aerodynamic parts. Other exterior highlights of the BRABUS C-Class include auxiliary active safety headlights, LED entrance lights, Mercedes fog light, stainless-steel quad sport exhaust systems, custom-tailored carbon-fiber covers on the outside mirrors, and new BRABUS rear apron. A bunch of available custom-tailored BRABUS tire and wheel packages is included ranging from 17, 18, 19 and 20-inch light alloy wheels, along with performance tires 235/30 ZR 20 on the front and 265/25 ZR 20 at the rear.

Moving on the inside, BRABUS included some exclusive hand crafted interior trims including the soft BRABUS Mastik leather and Alcantara leather, stainless-steel door sills with illuminated BRABUS logo, and other precious-wood and carbon-fiber trim sets. The ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel and aluminum foot pedals offers an excellent driving atmosphere. The key feature of BRABUS C-Class is the wide range of engine types offered by the German high-performance tuner. For the new Mercedes-Benz C 280 and C 350 sedans, BRABUS offers a 4.0-liter engine equipped with four-valve cylinder heads and special camshafts. The engine pumps out 332 hp (244 kW) and produces 310 lb.-ft. 4,200 rpm. This engine allows the BRABUS C-Class to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.9 seconds with a top speed of 170 mph. The BRABUS PowerXtra performance kits also include the other engine types for the C-Class CDI models. These include D2 (III) kit that increases power output of the C 200 CDI by 39 hp / 28.7 hp and produces 284 lb.-ft.

Mercedes-Benz decided to revamp and redesign the CLK320 in 2006 to the more powerful CLK350 which is becoming more popular as the year goes on. With a new exterior, new standard equipment, and a new base engine, this car that was always feisty has become even more so. It boasts a commanding 272 horsepower 3.5L V6 engine that has been changed to a seven-speed automatic transmission. CLK350 also now has an enhanced front apron design and new premium sport wheels. 55,000 it can be bought by the rich and famous or by the hardworking executive. It is been rated as an excellent value in its class and has an excellent rating when it comes to the look of the car. The sporty but classy body flair shows prominence and style without being too ostentatious. For a 6-cylinder it has relatively good fuel economy with the car getting 28 miles per gallon on the highway and 17 miles per gallon in the city. The handling is superb, as with most of the C-classes of the Mercedes making it feel very easy to drive with little effort or fear of body roll.

It is a 2-door car so one of the cons could be considered the rear seat entry which is said to be difficult to navigate for the larger person, but not horrible. The rear seat room leaves a little bit to be desired but again, not completely out of the question. Surprisingly one of the more common complaints about this car comes from something very simple; it has but one cup holder. Now for some people they may laugh and think how inconvenient but not worth giving up the car for, but for others who travel for business frequently this may be very difficult to manage. In fact most of the reviews written on this outstanding vehicle mention the lack of cup holders. Besides that small problem, most people are thrilled with the smooth acceleration and splendid handling. The car is as equally quiet with the top down as it is with the top down. There is no question that Mercedes has a passion for manufacturing tremendous cars with a value that far surpasses other cars in a similar class. Not only will you look good, you will feel good too in this head turner of a car.

The 2001 Wikipedia logo suggestions were opened by Larry Sanger in November 2001. Several logo suggestions were submitted on this page or privately to Larry Sanger, who chose the winning logo (logo 24) with community discussion. There are a half-dozen or so of the following that I would be perfectly happy with. There is one possibility that no one has yet generated, viz., the present logo with the words "Wikipedia" and possibly also "The Free Encyclopedia" superimposed, somehow. Send me your opinions either below, on this page itself, or privately in e-mail (lsanger at nupedia dot com). I will use my best judgment in coming to a decision, and do my best to make the most people happy. Comments: This needs something. I don't know what. Comments: Nice and simple, has kind of a grassroots feel to it. Comments: This image is interesting. I'm not sure about using it as a logo, but I like the image.
