The all-new E63 S is already the most powerful car in its class, but Brabus decided to make a more unhinged version called simply the "700." This Lamborghini-rivalling sports sedan is now set for an official debut at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.
If you like carbon fiber, the stock E63 is already a prime choice. But just to make sure, Brabus went crazy with the material. There's an aero rear diffuser made from the stuff that's as wide as the car, plus all the necessarity winglets and skirts dotted around the car.

Even though this is a brand new AMG E-Class, the tuner had previous experience with its engine. That's why extracting 700 HP and 950 Nm (701 lb-ft) was as easy as installing the PowerXtra B40. It uses "state-of-the-art test bench technology and extensive test drives on racetracks and public roads" to add 88 HP to the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8.

Peak torque grows simultaneously from 850 to 950 Nm (627 to 701 lb-ft), and comes in at 3,500 rpm. Thanks to the added performance, the Brabus 700 sedan takes 3.2 seconds to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) while the wagon needs 3.3 seconds. Both are restricted to 300 km/h (186 mph), but a Vmax Unit is set to furter increase the top speed in the future.

The new stainless exhaust lowers the back pressure and features exhaust flaps for an electronically controlled sound management. Of course, it's capped off with the trademark B-shaped tips, which are painted flat black.

Of course, the wheels also play a major part of the Brabus effect. The company has multiple designs that can be tailor-made up to 21 inches, but in this case, we're looking at the Platinum Edition design, shod in tires of sizes 265/30 ZR 21 at the front and 305/25 ZR 21 on the rear axle. This is complemented by the lowering suspension model that brings the car 20mm closer to the road.

Matching the exterior aggression of this E63, the interior now sports custom red and black leather. Brabus offers aluminum paddle shifters, as well as custom door-lock pins, carbon trim inleys, new carpets and door sills.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
