For the reputation that they've built as one of the finest Mercedes->ke187 tuners in the world, Brabus->ke561 is more than just fitting powerful V12 engines in their rocket vehicles. They've also found a way to be eco-friendly, and they're doing so with the Brabus Techology Project Hybrid E-Class.

Based on the Mercedes E-Class->ke373 sedan, the Technology Project Hybrid is a car that Brabus carefully modified to be the kind of eco-friendly diesel hybrid vehicle that fans of Mother Nature will love.

This is proof that you can have your cake and definitely eat it too.

So instead of a V12 engine, Brabus went and fitted a 2.2-liter clear diesel engine and combined with a pair of in-wheel electric motors that were sourced from Protean Electric. Each motor is capable of producing 110 horsepower and 590 lb/ft of torque and when combined with the 2.2 L diesel engine, allows the car to hit 0-62 mph in a pretty impressive 7.4 seconds. More impressive than that is that with this powertrain, the E-Class can improve its fuel economy by a staggering 30 percent, which is out-of-this-world for a car like a Mercedes.

Full specs behind the Brabus Technology Project Hybrid E-Class have yet to be announced, but from what we've gathered, this looks like a project that's definitely worth keeping our tabs on.
