Official: Brabus Tuned Mercedes CLA (Photo Gallery Inside)

Not sure how I feel about those exhaust tips and those rims.

Any extra power?

34HP and 26 lb-ft of torque as stated above.

This is a very understated tune by Brabus. It looks like it could be a stock CLA.

Equipped with sport springs, quad tailpipe exhaust, 18 or 19 inch wheels, and horsepower increase of 34HP and 26 lb-ft of torque.

I think we all could agree that Brabus could have done a much better job at designing wheels for the CLA, also an aero kit would be nice.

i wouldn't mind the Brabus rims on this CLA if they were just one color instead of being two toned. But Brabus always has their unique styled rims that nto everyone is able to digest. The exhaust tips just remind me of a hex socket. If it weren't for that I'd be ok with it. The subtle increase is alright though.

A little to low pro fro my liking on the tires. 18s would be just the right fitted with low profile tires i'm guessing those would be 30 series sidewalls. 18s and 35 series would be nice in my opinion. Don't like anything else beside the slight increase in horsepower, not overdoing it is ok since it won't be taking away from the reliability factor.

The turbo is already running at a very high pressure. There isn't much room to push some more power without running a more aggressive tune (not a good idea for daily) or upgrading the turbo.

For the size of turbo used on the engine it is already running a lot pressure like cfrp mentioned. You can try uping the pressure but then your just asking for trouble and its not worth the compromise of reliability.

Brabus is a well known company in the aftermarket industry. specializing in high end upgrades and modifications. They have a strong reputation in making reliable upgrades and tunes. It will be hard to ask for more.

And keep in mind that when you run more and more power - other parts will start to fail.
