Brabus modified Mercedes EQS Gives It More Style, Performance, Adds range

Brabus has finally got their hands on the Mercedes EQS and they claim to have made some significant changes. Outside is a new aerodynamic body kit tested in a wind tunnel to somehow reduce the already low .20 Cd of drag by 7.2%. This would result in, a minor, improvement in range. All of these aero bits are made from carbon fibre and include deflector and trim pieces.

The EQS 450 has received an aerodynamic body kit perfected in the wind tunnel to make the zero-emissions liftback even sleeker.

A new front spoiler lends the luxury sedan a menacing look and adds some shape to the otherwise bland exterior. Look closely and you’ll note the carbon fibre lip, which, says Brabus, reduces drag and minimizes front-end lift. The side air intakes have also been designed to be functional and stylish; they direct air to the front brakes and radiator.

Around the back, the diffuser and spoiler aren’t just for show. They work to reduce aerodynamic lift by up to 40%, giving the EQS an even more stable ride. Elsewhere, airflow has been improved by fitting subtle air deflectors in front of the rear wheel arches.

Outside the EQS you also get Brabus B logos and new wheels. Here, Brabus is offering 20, 21, or 22in wheels. The ones featured here are the massive 22in monoblock wheels. Brabus also tuned the air suspension to lower the car by up to .8in. Inside can also be decked out in custom carbon and upholstery materials if desired

Even the wheels have been specially designed for the EQS in several designs ranging between 20- and 22-inches. Seen here are the Monoblock Z ten-spoke items and Monoblock M wheels, the latter of which not only look great but are “aerodynamically favourable.”

Lastly, Brabus is able to lower the EQS by 0.6 inches up front and 0.8 at the rear, giving the electric sedan a sinister look and further reducing the drag coefficient.
