Buyers can also add other upgrades including scuff plates with illuminated Brabus logo, a speedometer with a 213 mph dial, aluminum components such as pedal pads, door-lock pins and shifter,  carbon-fiber inlays for dashboard and center console.

Performance tuning allows for an additional 31-hp on the Mercedes-Benz CLS 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY with a maximum torque of 413 lb-ft. For the CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Brabus is offering the ECO PowerXtra D6S tuning kit. The plug-and-play auxiliary control unit can be installed by any authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer or any Brabus’ partner in less than 45 minutes.  Mated to the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission, in ‘Eco’ mode torque is increased to 509 lb-ft. In ‘Sport’ mode, output is increased to 313-hp from 265-hp, allowing for a 0-62 mph time of 5.9 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. Performance is enhanced through suspension upgrades that were developed in cooperation with BILSTEIN. The ride-height is lowered by 30 millimeters (1.2 in.). For those that have a 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS with a  AIRMATIC air suspension system, ride height is lowered by some 35 millimeters (1.4 in.) with the Brabus’ suspension upgrades.
