BRABUS P 900 Rocket Edition based on the Mercedes-AMG G63

Brabus is one of the best, if not the best, tuner of Mercedes cars that this time decided to upgrade the Mercedes-AMG G63. Unlike previous projects, Brabus went a step further this time by turning the SUV into a BRABUS P 900 Rocket Edition pickup.

The car is based on the Rocket Edition Widestar exterior concept, which brings front fascia inserts and a front spoiler made of carbon fiber, side flaps, a carbon front grille with integrated “Rocket Launch” ambient light, a “PowerView” hood, new carbon bumpers, a new rear diffuser, new exhaust system, RideControl aluminum coilover suspension system that allows the ride height to be adjusted by an additional 45 mm.

The dark interior is covered with black leather in combination with “Rocket Red” and carbon accessories. The seats are upholstered in black leather with “Seashell Diamond” stitching and a red Brabus emblem. The same combination can be seen on the door panels. There is also a Panerai Luminor design analog clock integrated into the center console, aluminum pedals and “BRABUS” inscription on the door sills.

Under the hood is a 4.5L biturbo V8 engine with 900 hp (662 kW) and 922 lb-ft (1,250 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard Mercedes-AMG G63 is powered by a 4.0L V8 engine with 585 hp. It reaches 60 mph in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 174 mph (280 km/h). Power is transmitted to both axles via a 9-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted manually or automatically. It sits on a set of 24-inch BRABUS Monoblock Z “Platinum Edition” Aero-Disc forged wheels wrapped in 295/30 ZR 24 (front) and 355/25 ZR 24 (rear) Continental tires.

The Aerodynamic Kit, made of fiberglass, brings a new lip spoiler with intakes, fender vents, a new more aggressive front cover, wider sills, a new rear diffuser, a huge rear wing that fits perfectly following the natural curves of the car. All this makes the car more impressive.

The engine is positioned as low as possible between the front and rear axles – increasing the car’s handling prowess, and its luggage capacity. It reaches 62 mph in 2.8 seconds and 124 mph (200 km / h) in 7.8 seconds with a top speed of 212 mph (341 km / h).
