<br />If there was one thing we discovered <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/06/first-drive-2010-mercedes-benz-e-class-coupe/">during our time</a> with the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/2010MercedesBenzEClass/">2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class</a> Coupe, it was that more power and a reworked suspension could do wonders for the lumbering E. As expected, Brabus has stepped up to the plate to offer a comprehensive tuning package for the latest Mercedes, and as always, it starts with the engine.<br /><br />The German tuning firm's has stroked the 5.5-liter engine to 6.1-liters to net a total of 462 hp and 454 lb-ft of torque - up from 383 hp and 391 lb-ft. The result is a 0-60 mph time of 4.7-seconds and a top-speed of 196 mph.<br /><br />The styling is somewhat subdued compared to Brabus' other offerings, and includes new front and rear bumpers, 20-inch wheels and vertical front LEDs. Coilovers are available to lower the coupe and firm-up the ride, while six-piston aluminum calipers clamp 14.2-inch vented and cross-drilled brakes up front. <br /><br />The package runs 39,000 euros (just under $40k), and if you're living abroad and more interested in oil-burning performance, Brabus is in the process of creating a tuned E250 CDI BlueEfficiency with many of the same upgrades. Hit the jump for all the details.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-brabus-e-class-coupe/">2010 Brabus E-Class Coupe</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-brabus-e-class-coupe/2025873/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/05/01-brabus-e-coupe_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-brabus-e-class-coupe/2025879/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/05/02-brabus-e-coupe_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-brabus-e-class-coupe/2025881/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/05/03-brabus-e-coupe_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-brabus-e-class-coupe/2025890/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/05/04-brabus-e-coupe_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-brabus-e-class-coupe/2025874/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/05/05-brabus-e-coupe_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/20/new-mercedes-benz-e-class-coupe-gets-a-boost-from-brabus/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>New Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe gets a boost from Brabus</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/20/new-mercedes-benz-e-class-coupe-gets-a-boost-from-brabus/">New Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe gets a boost from Brabus</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 20 May 2009 15:02:00 EST.
