While we wait patiently for the brand-new Mercedes-AMG C63, the German tuner has announced a tasty Brabus C-Class kit to whet our appetites.

German tuner Brabus is known for spicing up the products from Mercedes-Benz and while some of the creations involve hotting up already performance-focused AMG derivatives, its kits for your run-of-the-mill Mercedes-Benz vehicles have proven popular.

The latest model to receive some goodness is the current generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The package is comprehensive, with visual and performance updates.

Visually, this is one very neat looking offering. The styling upgrades are tasteful and not too in your face. There are some great touches which also have function, like the spoiler corners that will reduce lift on the front axle at speed and improve stability. There are LED strips on the front air intakes too, which will really look the part at night.

At the rear there are big quad exhaust tips, a boot lid spoiler that also helps with the aerodynamics and numerous wheel options ranging from 18- to 20-inches in size. A lowering suspension kit is offered, dropping the vehicle’s ride height by as much as 30 mm.

Importantly, there’s a performance upgrade too for the Brabus C-Class and what you see here is the C300 4Matic. The 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol motor gets an extra 31 kW and 50 Nm. With the Brabus boost, 0-100 kph drops to 5.8 seconds. The diesel C300d is also eligible for an upgrade and once Brabus is done, 228 kW and 600 Nm is offered.

Inside, its a subtle affair for the Brabus C-Class with the tuner applying the lightest of touches with leather and Alcantara detailing, aluminium pedals and Brabus-branded floor mats.
