Tuners have still not found a way to extract more power out of electric vehicles - unless they are hackers who do things to the vehicles that the manufacturer might frown upon. The new Brabus EQS, based on the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ certainly looks the part (arguably more aggressive than even Mercedes’ own AMG-badged EQS) but it still has the standard power output , acceleration and top speed as the standard vehicle (even though Brabus does sell a power boost kit for other EVs, like the EQC electric SUV).
The only area where Brabus has actually improved its performance is suspension. The tuner has lowered the EQS’ air suspension by 15 millimeters (0.6 inches) in the front and 20 millimeters (0.8 inches) in the rear and between this and the custom aero kit that equips the Brabus EQS, the vehicle’s drag coefficient improves by 7.2 percent, with a similar impact on range, according to the manufacturer.
