Brabus Kit For Mercedes EQS Gives It More Style And Performance

Brabus has always been the authority on Mercedes-Benz tuning. For years, the company has specialized in transforming sober-suited sedansinto road-going rocketswith a generous helping of luxury. The latest Benz to receive the treatment is theEQS Sedan．As an all-electric sedan, Brabus couldn't just throw a couple of turbochargers into the mix and call it a day.

Instead, the German tuner has improved the luxury car in a rather practical way. Aside from enhancing the controversial styling of the EQS, wind tunnel testing found the carbon fiber body kit reduces drag by up to 7.2%. What does this mean? For one thing, it improves driving range which means the Brabus EQS should, theoretically, be able to travel further than the stock EV on a single charge.

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 fiber 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.

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 favorable."
