Mercedes AMG turns cars up to ten, and then BRABUS steps in an turns them up to 11. AMG already turned the CLA class into something crazier by adding AWD and a 2.0L I4 that pumps out a record-breaking 355 horsepower, so we're actually a bit surprised to hear that BRABS has actually added a significant amount of power.

The BRABUS CLA's 2.0L makes 394 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, which is good enough for a 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds, as compared to the AMG's 4.4. Top speed is also increased from 155 mph to 168. On the outside, BRABUS offers a few new aero bits, some red accents, and a few different wheel options, while the inside is straight up covered in black alcantara with red accents.

We like it.
