Sporty-elegant design in combination with maximal aerodynamic function has been one of the strong suits of BRABUS ever since the company was founded in 1977. The automotive refinement specialist earned an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records already back in 1985 when a Mercedes W 124 sedan with BRABUS aerodynamic-enhancement kit achieved a drag coefficient of Cd = 0.26. What was a world record at the time is still a figure that few current cars achieve or beat today.
The BRABUS aerodynamic-enhancement range for the current Mercedes EQS-Class follows this same tradition. It is produced from exposed carbon in a complex pre-preg process and offers a choice of glossy or matt sealed surface finish.
The BRABUS lip spoiler gives the front view of the EQS an even more distinctive profile. In addition, it also reduces drag and thanks to its raised flaps on the left and right at the bumper minimizes front-axle lift to boot. Measurements in the wind tunnel showed a reduction in lift by 100 percent, which also translates into further improved handling stability at high speeds.
The BRABUS carbon trim for the side air intakes in the front fascia round off the thrilling looks of the enhanced EQS and route the airstream precisely to the coolers and front brakes.
BRABUS carbon air deflectors in front of the rear wheel arches give the sides of the luxury sedan a visual upgrade. In addition, these aerodynamic-enhancement components direct the airflow past the fender wells.
The rear view is upgraded with a diffuser and spoiler likewise made from that same hi-tech composite. These components also lower aerodynamic lift at the rear axle by up to 40 percent. All chrome parts on the bodywork were painted black to give the vehicle an even sportier look.
The exclusive BRABUS MASTERPIECE also includes attractive BRABUS Monoblock “PLATINUM EDITION” hi-tech alloys, which are mounted on the EQS 53 4MATIC+ in 22-inch king-sized format. The attached photos show the electrically powered luxury liner with BRABUS Monoblock Z “PLATINUM EDITION” wheels. To provide contrast to the matt gray paint finish of the body, the ten-spoke wheels for this BRABUS MASTERPIECE sport a glossy black paint finish. The wheels are produced using state-of-the-art forging and machining technology. These rims in sizes 9Jx22 at the front and 10.5Jx22 on the rear axle are fitted with tires of sizes 255/35 ZR 22 and 295/30 ZR 22, respectively. They make optimal use of the space under the wheel arches. The P Zero high-performance tires are supplied by technology partner Pirelli.
While their striking looks are fascinating, these BRABUS wheels also optimize the handling. This effect is further amplified by the BRABUS SportXtra module specifically tailored to this tire/wheel combination. The plug-and-play module is adapted to the standard RIDE CONTROL + suspension and intervenes in the electronic control system. This intervention lowers the ride height of the EQS 53 by 15 millimeters at the front and 20 millimeters at the rear axle (0.6 and 0.8 mm) without impairing the ride quality. Another welcome side effect is that the lowering contributes significantly to the reduction in the Cd figure besides.
The exclusive BRABUS MASTERPIECE interior offers luxury and comfort in their purest forms. It is finished with meticulous precision wherever you look. Unlike the matt gray that dominates the exterior paint finish, the interior is dominated by the finest charcoal-colored leather.
The leather inner sections of the seats feature “Arrow Wave” quilting applied with meticulous precision. The pinpoint accuracy of the perforations is another visual highlight while the perforations also ensure optimal effect of the seat climate control.
The exquisite interior also includes BRABUS logos embroidered on the head restraints as well as BRABUS MASTERPIECE badges on the seats. The pillows for the rear head restraints were produced to provide maximum comfort for the passengers also on long trips. They were covered in fine black Dinamica microfiber, as were the A-, B- and C-pillars of the sedan.
In order to add interior touches that match the exposed carbon on the bodywork, the experienced pros in the BRABUS upholstery shop covered selected elements of the door panels and seats with a vegan, mottled black gray fabric.
Further exclusive BRABUS elements in the interior are the carbon pedal pads and scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo, which changes color in sync with the ambient lighting of the EQS. The classy character is rounded off by high-pile velour floor mats and a trunk mat of the same kind, which are all adorned with the logo of the automotive refinement specialist and feature leather edging.
