Low Mileage Mercedes-AMG CLS 53 By Brabus Offers 493 HP For $132k

Being the major tuning company that it is, Brabus have their own used car division, enabling clients to purchase barely-driven examples of ultra-powerful Mercedes-Benz models.

Here, we’re looking at a Mercedes-AMG CLS 53 equipped with the Brabus 500 pack, which means its twin turbo 3.0-liter inline-six mild-hybrid unit no longer produces 435 PS (429 HP) and 520 Nm (384 lb-ft), but rather 500 PS (493 HP) and 590 Nm (435 lb-ft) of torque.

The car is currently for sale with just 1,625 km (1,000 miles) on the clock, and the asking price is 118,880 euros, or roughly $132,000 at current exchange rates.

As standard, this CLS 53 comes with an Obsidian Black Metallic exterior, the Mirror package, AMG Night package, LED headlights, the AMG Track Pace, black Nappa leather upholstery with red stitching, the Memory package, ventilated front seats, electric sunroof, Head-Up display, the Burmester surround sound system, heated rear seats and the Driving Assistance Package Plus.

On top of all that, the German tuner added its own logo to the front and rear ends, custom pedal pads, door lock pins and mats, Liquid Titanium 20-inch wheels, and of course the Brabus PowerXtra B53-500 performance upgrade that’s responsible for the extra muscle.

In a straight line, the Brabus 500 CLS requires 4.3 seconds in order to get from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph). Now, if you’re curious how this compares to the regular Mercedes-AMG CLS 53, well, the difference is pretty negligible. When stock, the car can hit 62 mph in 4.5 seconds (+0.2 sec), and costs about $30,000 less, but you also have to consider all the extras added by the tuner. Decisions, decisions…
