About the Brabus BRABUS E-CLASS

The Brabus BRABUS E-CLASS is a high-performance German luxury executive car based on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It suits buyers who want the refinement of a large sedan with the added character and performance of a specialist tuner. In Australia, these cars are often used as daily drivers for professionals or enthusiasts who value a distinct look and strong performance without the size of a larger executive car.

If you are looking for a specific example, we can search the Japanese auctions for you. Just let us know your preferred series, year, or colour, and we will find a car that matches your criteria. We work out a landed estimate for the exact car before you bid, so you know exactly what you are getting.

We confirm the exact car's SEVS eligibility before you bid. As this is a newer vehicle, it will need to be complied through the appropriate pathway for its chassis code and build range. Our team handles the compliance process at a RAW workshop to ensure the car meets Australian standards before registration in Queensland.
