This is why the new Brabus Rocket is not as charming as the old one! They’ve spent all their energy on this, the Mercedes E 220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Hybrid.

This is a diesel-powered E-Class designed not for performance and speed, but for zero emission driving. It’s fitted with Brabus ECO D3 kit developed by Brabus Zero Emission division. The car has a hybrid powertrain which depending on the driving mode, eco or sport, delivers 50 to 80 kW of power. It is supplied by a 18.6 KW/H lithium ion battery pack in the trunk.

It has a total output of 160kW and an amazing torque of 1600 Nm. Then you have the 200 HP/147 KW 2.2 litres of Common Rail turbo-diesel engine with 450 Nm of torque. Despite these great power figures, 0 to 100 km/h time is 7.4 seconds, which is pretty good for a hybrid, but not that good for a Brabus! Top speed is 190 km/h in Eco mode and 220 km/h in Sport mode.

The car also benefits from  BRABUS mono block Q 8.5J x 19 H2 light alloy wheels, Bilstein adjustable suspension, special brake discs with two brake calipers each, a special aerodynamic body kit, and a modified interior with leather and aluminum accents and an operating panel in center console for the hybrid system.

Brabus can produce this car for sale in small volume.
