Brabus 900 based on Mercedes-AMG E 63 S

A year ago, Brabus introduced the upgraded Mercedes-AMG E 63 S, the Brabus 800. Today, based on the same Mercedes model, it introduced a new beast with impressive power, the Brabus 900.

Distinctive design adorns this sporty-looking Brabus model, equipped with carbon parts such as front and rear spoiler, rear diffuser, front grille, graphite metal chassis, BRABUS Airmatic Sports-Unit which lowers the car by 20 mm, new air intakes and stainless steel exhaust system.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in black leather with white stitching and the Brabus logo on the headrests. Leather can also be seen on the door panels and three-spoke steering wheel. There are also carbon door sill trims with an illuminated BRABUS logo, aluminum pedal pads, a light bar that extends from the left door over the bottom of the dashboard to the right door, and carpets with the Brabus logo.

The Brabus 900 is powered by a 4.5-liter biturbo V8 engine, instead of a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine from the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S. The powerful engine delivers 900 hp (662 kW) and 922 lb-ft / 1,250 Nm (electronically limited to 774 lb-ft / 1,050 Nm) of torque, which is enough to reach 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds with a maximum electronically limited speed of 205 mph (330 km / h). Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. It is mounted on 21-inch Monoblock Z “Platinum Edition” forged wheels wrapped in 265/30 ZR 21 XL (front) and 305/25 ZR 21 XL (rear) Continental Sportcontact 6 tires.

Ferrari 296 GTB with impressive acceleration

In the middle of last year, Ferrari introduced the 296 GTB model with a V6 engine. It is a hybrid car that has found its place above the F8 Tributo. Now, the guys from the YouTube channel Motorsport Magazine in a short video have shown the acceleration of this supercar.

The 296 GTB is powered by a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 engine with 654 hp (481 kW) and an electric motor with 165 hp (121 kW), for a total of 819 hp (602 kW) and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm ) of torque. With a weight of 1,470 kg (3241 lbs) it reaches 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds, 124 mph (200 km / h) in 7.3 seconds with a top speed of more than 205 mph (330 km / h). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The car is equipped with a 7.45 kWh battery that produces enough power for a range of 16 miles (25 kilometers).

On the road, they reached a speed of 292 km / h (182 mph), which is not the top speed that this car can reach. The start up of the V6 engine was impressive, which surprised even the visitors of the YouTube channel.

The exterior of the Ferrari 296 GTB is similar to the SF90 model, but also to the racing Ferrari models from the 60s. The car features large side vents, an active rear spoiler that ensures better traction when driving at higher speeds.

Inside, in the center is a digital interface with most of the instruments concentrated on the driver’s side. Two seats of perfect workmanship which, with the instrument panel and steering wheel, complete the interior design.
