Brabus releases the Rocket 900 'One of Ten'

The latest vehicle from Brabus, the Brabus Rocket 900 'One of Ten'. Based on the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+, of which only ten vehicles will be produced under the Brabus Masterpiece label.

At the heart of the Brabus Rocket 900 is a twin-turbo V8 engine that has had its displacement increased from 4.0-litres to 4.5-litres. Coupled with an upgraded turbo system, the engine delivers a peak output of 888bhp and 1,250Nm of torque, however torque is electronically limited to 1,050Nm to protect the transmission.

With a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, the four-seat coupe accelerates from 0 -100km/h in 2.8 seconds, reaching 300km/h in just 23.9 seconds. Due to the car's high weight of 2,120kg and to avoid over-stressing the tyres, the top speed is electronically limited to 330km/h.

The Brabus Rocket 900 'One of Ten' is equipped with wide monoblock wheels measuring 21-inches up front and 22-inches in the rear, and are shod in Pirelli tyres.

Brabus designers developed a carbon widebody in order to fit the larger tyres under the bodywork, with the matching aerodynamic-enhancement components being developed in the wind tunnel. Together, the aerodynamic enhancements and wider track produce more downforce and increase the car's high speed stability.

The grey seams and piping of the leather add contrasts to the black leather and Alcantara. The seat surfaces and inner sections of the door panels feature a quilted crest-like coat of arms pattern. The same grey contrast stitching is also present in the floor mats, boot lining and leather lining on the interior.
