900 Superblack based on the Mercedes-AMG GLS63 4Matic

Brabus 900 Superblack is the latest work of the German tuner known as the best tuner for Mercedes cars. It is based on one of Mercedes’ best SUVs, the Mercedes-AMG GLS63 4Matic. Price €370,550 EUR.

The car received a carbon finish on the air intakes, and a much more aggressive front grille. A control module for the air suspension was also installed, which additionally brings the SUV closer to the ground. There are also forged pistons, new connecting rods, crankshaft, new turbochargers, high-pressure fuel pumps and a 3-inch downpipe.

Inside, the dark interior has not been changed. Leather and Alcantara dominate the cabin, carbon details and matte Shadow gray elements have been added.

The 900 Superblack is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine with 888 hp (653 kW) and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque. That’s a significant increase in power when you consider that the standard model has 603 hp (443 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph). Power is sent to all wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. It’s mounted on a set of 24-inch black Monoblock Z wheels.

Safety cars for the 2023 Formula 1 season

The new season of Formula 1 will start soon, and the safety cars will be Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG. The contract was signed two years ago and the British manufacturer announced that it will use the Aston Martin Vantage and the recently introduced DBX707. Mercedes-AMG still hasn’t decided which cars it will use.

Aston Martin DBX707 is the most powerful SUV in the world that will replace last year’s DBX. It is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 707 hp (520 kW), making it the most powerful SUV in the world. It reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph (310 km / h). The power of its powerful engine is transmitted to all wheels via a fast 9-speed automatic transmission with improved differential and limited traction.

Aston Martin F1 Vantage is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 528 hp (388 kW) and 505 lb-ft (685 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 195 mph (314 km / h). Both cars will wear a green livery similar to that of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.

Mercedes has yet to reveal which cars it will field in Formula 1 this year. Last season, the AMG GT Black Series was used as a safety car, and the GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe as a medical car.

The new season starts on March 5 in Bahrain, and the last race will be held on November 26 in Abu Dhabi.

Mercedes-AMG has delivered the first example of the model One

At the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, Mercedes-AMG premiered the powerful concept One, and five years later the car was presented to the public. It is a hybrid “beast” and one of the fastest road cars in the world that comes with the Formula 1 engine, and the first example has just left the production line and is on its way to its owner.

The Mercedes-AMG One is powered by a 1.6-liter Formula 1 V6 turbo engine with 566 hp (422 kW) at 11,000 rpm, which in combination with four electric motors delivers a total of 1,049 hp (771 kW). That’s enough power for this supercar to reach 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, 124 mph (200 km / h) in less than six seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (350 km / h). The engine is paired with a 7-speed gearbox. And yes, the engine meets Euro 6 standards.

The car has German license plates marked “ON1”. It is finished in black with Petronas green detailing and white three-pointed stars on the rear. The top of the roof vent is painted in red, while the front grille features a prominent white AMG badge. It is equipped with an 8.4 kWh lithium-ion battery that allows the 1,695 kilogram hybrid plug-in car to travel 20 kilometers without the assistance of an internal combustion engine.

Mercedes-AMG has announced that it will produce only 275 copies of this model, and production will be assembled at AMG’s factory in Coventry, Great Britain.
