Brabus Rocket 900 - the world's most powerful 4-seater convertible

Brabus is a famous tuning company associated with Mercedes-Benz. They have just launched the Rocket 900 developed from the Mercedes-AMG S65 Cabriolet, becoming the most powerful 4-seat convertible in the world at the present time.

Brabus pushes the V12 Biturbo engine on the Mercedes-AMG S65 to new heights, increasing the capacity to 888 horsepower, 267 horsepower higher than the original. Torque is increased from 1,000 Nm to 1,500 Nm at 4,200 rpm. However, engineers have electronically limited the torque level to 1,200 Nm to ensure engine durability.

To achieve such incredible power, it was not just a matter of tweaking the software. Brabus had to increase the engine's displacement from 6.0 liters to 6.3 liters by increasing the cylinder bore. A new exhaust system, upgraded intercoolers and larger turbochargers were also fitted. A custom-developed control unit ensures that the systems work together in unison.

The Brabus Rocket 900 drives the rear wheels through a recalibrated 7-speed automatic transmission. It allows acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, with a top speed of 350 km/h. That means it's faster than the electronically limited 250 km/h and 300 km/h (when equipped with the open-limit package) of the Mercedes-AMG S65.

The exterior of the Brabus Rocket 900 has a light paint job, along with a few aerodynamic details. The standard wheels are 21 inches in matte black, or 22 inches are optional. The car is equipped with a chassis lifting system, which can lower the car to a maximum of 15 mm from the road surface.

The interior has been changed quite a bit, such as the newly designed speedometer, increasing the limit to 400 km/h to match the power of the Brabus Rocket 900. There are many aluminum details, new leather upholstery, and Brabrus logos attached to many details.

Brabus offers two interior color options, Mondial Vanilla and Mondial Black. The car will be present at the upcoming Frankfurt show, the price has not been disclosed.
