German tuning firm, Brabus, is known for creating some wild cars but this latest G-Class 900 Rocket Edition is perhaps wilder than most…
We’ve seen wild cars from Brabus but this 900 Rocket Edition is just bonkers.
Brabus has taken a Mercedes-AMG G63 and kitted it out with an aggressive body kit that will make many supercars look demure. This is an SUV, remember?
Massive outputs for Brabus 900 Rocket Edition
Is this the ultimate G Wagon?
Note the beefed-up bodywork, power bonnet scoop and yes, that wing on the roof… Those wheels are large too, 24-inches in fact. The details on this Brabus 900 Rocket Edition is, in a word, spectacular.
However, it’s not just about the looks as this Brabus has been tuned to go fast, very fast. Brabus says it’s a “limited-edition supercar” and the firm claims a zero to 100 kph sprint time of 3.7 seconds with a limited top speed of 280 kph.
To achieve these hugely impressive claims, Brabus increased the capacity of the G63’s thumping 4.0-litre V8 to 4.5-litres and outputs have increased to a staggering 662 kW. Maximum torque is claimed at 1 250 Nm but it’s limited to 1 050 Nm in an effort to prevent damaging the powertrain. To put those numbers into perspective, the standard G63 produces 430 kW and 850 Nm of torque.
As for the interior, carbon fibre trim and quilted leather abound and, if you must, red detailing can also be specified for that extra dollop of sportiness.
Only 25 will be built. How much does all this cost you ask? Well, in Germany, you will pay no less than R9.7-million. Is it worth it? We’re not so sure…
