Brabus 1000 All Gray based on the Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance

Leave a comment

At the beginning of 2024, the German high-performance automotive aftermarket tuner presented the Brabus 930 based on the Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance. Now from his workshop comes another project based on this powerful luxury sedan, the Brabus 1000 All Gray.

At first glance, extravagant Gray with lots of details gives a WoW effect. It is equipped with special front and rear spoilers that ensure better cooling and reduce lift, a rear diffuser with four red-illuminated titanium/carbon tailpipes of the BRABUS sports exhaust system, carbon exterior components, a SportXtra suspension module that lowers the luxury sedan by up to 10 mm, 22-inch sports ten-spoke Monoblock Z “PLATINUM EDITION”, which improves the car’s aerodynamics and driving stability.

The interior is impeccably finished in a monochromatic gray tone that exudes absolute elegance. It is decorated with soft and airy gray leather, high-gloss BRABUS Signature Carbon elements on the dashboard, steering wheel, central console and door panels, BRABUS carbon pedals and BRABUS aluminum door sills, and an illuminated BRABUS logo, which changes color in accordance with the ambient lighting of the interior. .

When it comes to the powertrain, the Brabus 1000 All Gray is powered by a new 4.5-L V8 biturbo engine adapted to the S63 E Performance hybrid powertrain, combined with an electric motor with a total output of 1,000 hp (735 kW) and an electronically limited 1,194 lb-ft ( 1,620 Nm) of torque, while driving. This is enough to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.1 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph).

Manhart MH5 800E based on the BMW M5

In June, BMW presented the seventh generation and most powerful M5 ever, and it didn’t take long for the German tuner Manhart to present its project based on this car, the Manhart MH5 800E (G9x).

The car is painted in Matte Black with standard gold stripes on both sides and a stripe that runs from the front fascia over the roof to the rear, making it look even more aggressive. Compared to the standard M5, the MH5 800E is equipped with a new front lip spoiler with an additional pair of wings, Concave One rims, a thin two-piece rear wing and a more aggressive diffuser, and buyers can also choose a carbon fiber hood. Also, further technical upgrades such as new suspension solutions to refine the agility and lowering of the M5 are planned.

All components are also compatible with the BMW M5 Touring that was presented in August, and it should be noted that the entire body kit with front spoiler lip, side skirts, diffuser and a rear spoiler is also under development.

There are still many unknowns, but what we know for now is that the MH5 800E will be powered by a 4.4-L biturbo V8 engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of about 800 hp (588 kW), paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. By comparison, the factory BMW M5 has 727 hp (542 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push a 2.5-ton car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph). It is equipped with a 14.8 kWh battery that enables an electric range of up to 40 kilometers.

The price of the upgrade is not known.
