Brabus 900 based on Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600

After last year’s Brabus 800, the German high-performance tuning company introduced its new product, the Brabus 900. The car is based on the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, which is the largest, most powerful and most luxurious in Mercedes’ SUV range.

The Brabus 900 got carbon parts like front bumper intake, extended fenders, rear diffuser, new front grille, large exhaust tailpipes, as well as a Shadow chrome finish on some parts. The car is equipped with Brabus Airmatic suspension, which brings the Brabus 900 closer to the ground by 25 mm.

Inside, the car underwent Brabus Bi-Color Masterpiece treatment. The seats are upholstered in a combination of high quality black and beige leather, and there is also a lot of carbon and Brabus tiles on the seat backs.

The Brabus 900 is powered by a 4.5-liter biturbo V8 engine with 900 hp (662 kW) and 922 lb-ft (1,250 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 199 mph (320 km / h). It is equipped with a 24-inch Brabus Monoblock M Platinum Edition light rims wrapped in XL Continental SportContact tires.

The price of the Brabus 900 is available on request.

Porsche 911 Sport Classic – a beast with a manual transmission and RWD

After introducing the 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition with mid-century design elements in 2020, Porsche has now introduced the most powerful 911 with manual transmission. It is the second of four planned models from Porsche’s ‘Heritage Design’ story, and fans of traditional models will be delighted by the fact that the Porsche 911 Sport Classic will not be offered in combination with all-wheel drive and automatic transmission.

The car is based on a 70s model, the 911 Carrera RS, and is powered by a 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 550 hp (405 kW). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 7-speed manual transmission. It is mounted on 20/21-inch alloy wheels.

“The new 911 Sport Classic is the first vehicle to feature Sport Gray Metallic paintwork,” says Michael Mauer, Vice President Style Porsche. Also, the car will be offered in Black, Agate Gray Metallic, Gentian Blue Metallic or Paint to Sample. Inside, the seats are upholstered in black leather and a Pepita pattern that can also be seen on the door panels.

The 911 Sport Classic is equipped with adjustable suspension with standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and has a 10-millimeter-lower ride height. The roof and front cover are made of carbon.

Porsche will produce only 1,250 copies of this model, and the first copies will arrive in European showrooms in the second half of the year with a price of 272,714 euros.
