General info
Imported from Luxembourg with German documents Various invoices are available PLEASE NOTE: The premium for this vehicle is 5% of the hammer price. The 1987 Brabus 260 CE is a rare and sought-after special model based on the Mercedes-Benz 230 CE of the W124 series. This vehicle was modified by Brabus, the renowned German tuning company, to optimize both performance and design. Technical specifications Engine: The Brabus 260 CE featured a modified 2.6-liter four-cylinder engine producing approximately 175 hp (129 kW). Performance upgrade: Through specific modifications to the engine management and exhaust system, Brabus was able to increase performance compared to the production model. Suspension: The vehicle was equipped with a sport-tuned suspension that provided improved driving dynamics. Design features: Visually, the Brabus 260 CE featured subtle yet striking changes, including special alloy wheels, flared fenders, and a sporty interior. Handling and performance: Thanks to the power upgrade and chassis optimization, the Brabus 260 CE offered agile and sporty handling. The combination of the elegant coupé body of the W124 and the technical improvements made the vehicle a desirable alternative for discerning drivers. Market and collector value: Due to its rarity and high-quality workmanship, the Brabus 260 CE is a sought-after collector's item. Since only a few examples were produced, the market value is correspondingly high. Current offers for sale are rare, and prices vary depending on the condition, mileage, and originality of the vehicle. Odometer reading: 114,530 km, plausible by TÜV documents. Engine conversion in November 1987 and September 1991 with increased displacement, special cooling system, sports rear axle with short gear ratio, and sports exhaust system.
