Brabus 900 Rocket Edition based on the AMG GLE 63S Coupe

A new beast called the 900 Rocket Edition has emerged from Brabus’ workshop. It is a crossover based on the AMG GLE 63S Coupe.

Brabus has improved the exterior with carbon components, as well as 24-inch forged wheels. There are also carbon aero discs, while the interior is upholstered in a combination of leather and Alcantara with contrasting red stitching. Many inscriptions can be seen inside, on the seat headers, floor mats and sills.

Brabus has equipped the car with a biturbo 4.5-liter V8 engine that has larger forged pistons, a crankshaft and longer forged connecting rods. New turbochargers with a larger compressor unit and reinforced axial bearings have also been installed. The upgraded fuel pump is more powerful and efficient, and the larger downpipe connects to a stainless steel exhaust system that has titanium and carbon fiber finishes.

Unlike the AMG GLE 63S Coupe, which is powered by a 3,982 cm³ engine, the BRABUS 900 Rocket Edition has a biturbo 4.5-liter V8 engine with 900 hp (662 kW). That’s enough power for a powerful crossover to reach 62 mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (300 km / h).

The car will be made in 25 copies and will be sold at a price of 381,245.00 EUR.

Japanese company Liberty Walk has equipped the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 with a new body kit, making it more attractive and muscular.

The new body kit includes a number of changes such as a new grille, fog lights, and a new two-piece black radiator grille.

There’s also a carbon bonnet, as well as fender extensions that give the SUV a more muscular look.

At the rear of the Liberty Walk are two spoilers, one on the roof and one under the rear window. Under the bumper there is a diffuser and trapezoidal exhaust pipes on both sides.

Alfa Romeo GTS

It would be much more exciting if one of the big manufacturers, like Audi or Mercedes, produced a car that could match the BMW M2 model. That could change from 2025, when the Alfa Romeo GTS should arrive.

Italian designer Guilherme Araujo has unleashed his imagination and is designing the Alfa Romeo GTS. With the retro design, the car looks different compared to the existing Alfa models, but still with the recognizable characteristics of the Italian manufacturer.

At the front is a set of simple round headlights with round LED daytime running lights. There is also the famous Alfa radiator grille as well as the corner bumper. The car’s stunning lines continue over the front wheel arches and bonnet which has a large vent for aerodynamics and cooling.

The cameras replace the side mirrors and the rear has simple LED lights and a diffuser, thus wraps up the car’s flowing aesthetics nicely.

It is not known what powertrain the Alfa GTS will use.
