Tuning firm Brabus is now offering a range of upgrades for the Mercedes C-Class in AMG-Line trim Mercedes official tuning partner Brabus has been busy with the latest C-Class saloon and estate, and is now giving buyers the chance to boost their cars handling and power output. These upgrade packs will be sold alongside the Brabus bodykits and interior upgrades available on all current C-Class cars.
