The heart of the 1998 Brabus C 5.8 is a 5.8 liter version of the Three-valve eight-cylinder powerplant of the S 500, which has found a new home in the tight confines of the small engine bay of the Mercedes-Benz W202 C-Class C 43 AMG. The engine itself is built by BRABUS is in Germany for export only. As the engine was built for export outside of Germany, and as the BRABUS 5.8 BRABUS C was never a "production" vehicle, BRABUS USA stated this is the only one of its kind with the United States.
To increase its displacement BRABUS uses a custom block, a crankshaft with longer stroke and larger pistons. The suction and the outlet section of both 3-valves-flow cylinder heads are optimized and finetuned with two special camshafts according to the displacement. Reprogrammed engine electronics also contribute to the power output, and finally the top speed governor is deleted. BRABUS states the top speed to be 180 mph + / -.
