Mercedes-Benz E 300 BLUETEC 258HP by BRABUS

The engineers of tuning firm BRABUS have developed a new special auxiliary module for the electronic engine management system for the new Mercedes E 300 BLUETEC called the “BRABUS PowerXtra D6 BLUE”. While the kit boosts power output by 47 HP at the same time exhaust emissions stay below the permissible limits of EURO V by up to 65 percent.

After the conversion operation, which can be performed at any authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer, the 3.0-liter turbodiesel produces 258 HP at 3,700 rpm and a max torque figure of 610 Nm (450 lb-ft), up from standard 540 Nm (398 lb-ft). The BRABUS-tuned E 300 BLUETEC sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.8 sec (vs 7.2 sec of the standard model) and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). -Continued

The BRABUS power kit is available for €1,790 or $2,650 and it’s backed by the BRABUS Tuning Warranty of three years, up to 100,000 km or 62,000 miles.

2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Scooped In Sweden

If anything else, leaving a prototype test vehicle in the parking lot of an airport isn’t the smartest thing one can do. According to our fellow Swedish bloggers at “Bilfeber”, the heavily camouflaged Mercedes-Benz E-Class test car was left unguarded outside the international airport of Arlanda that’s located about 25 miles or 42 km north of Stockholm.

There’s not much we can tell about the mid-size sedan’s appearance from these pictures, but it does seem like Merc’s designers have followed in the footsteps of the new C-Class, meaning that the new E-Class will feature a more “boxy” shaped exterior. The next-gen E-Class is expected to be introduced at the 2009 Frankfurt Show with sales following shortly after. -More images after the jump
