2021
2021 continued the trend of pushing the boundaries in typical BRABUS fashion. The BRABUS 92R debuted as a compact urban city car, boasting dynamic all-electric drive technology and distinctive styling limited to just 50 units worldwide. The BRABUS 800, based on the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S, became the face of understated BRABUS high-performance with its all-black styling and 800 horsepower. The BRABUS 900 Rocket Edition, based on the Mercedes-AMG G 63, took the BRABUS ROCKET to entirely new heights as the first G-Class-based supercar to bear the designation. In collaboration with Panerai, we introduced the limited-edition PANERAI Submersible S BRABUS Black Ops Edition watch, bringing together the world of premium horology with the BRABUS design DNA. Closing the year with a bang, the BRABUS 900 Rocket Edition, based on the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S, achieved world record-breaking top speeds at the 2021 Papenburg 3000 High-Performance event.
BRABUS 900 ROCKET EDITION (G 63)
Ready for takeoff! For decades, the BRABUS ROCKET designation has stood for uncompromising power. In the early summer of 2021, we expand the Rocket legacy by combining the performance of a track-ready supercar with the towering size and rugged dependability of the iconic Mercedes-Benz G-Class for the very first time. Based on the Mercedes-AMG G 63, the Geländewagen redefines the top-end of the BRABUS supercar catalogue at the time. Featuring a newly developed aerodynamic enhancement concept and the latest in BRABUS performance engineering headlined by the twin-turbocharged 4.5-liter BRABUS 900 V8 increased-displacement engine producing 662 kW / 900 hp, the BRABUS 900 Rocket Edition charges from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 280 km/h.
BRABUS 900 ROCKET EDITION (GLE 63 S)
Towards the end of 2021, Continental Tires once again invites some of the biggest names among the German tuning elite to the Papenburg 3000 High-Performance event and, of course, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to go record hunting with the latest BRABUS ROCKET at the time: the BRABUS 900 Rocket Edition, based on the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63S.
Equipped with the twin-turbocharged 4.5-liter BRABUS 900 V8 increased-displacement engine producing 662 kW / 900 hp and Continental’s SportContact 6 performance tires, the supercar rolls up to the start line. The goal: to go as fast as possible over a distance of 3000 meters. The result? 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 324.71 km/h, making it the fastest street legal SUV in the world at the time. A record previously held by the BRABU GLK V12 in 2009.
