Brabus 900 Rocket R

The Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe is one of the best models offered by the German brand. Aerodynamic, comfortable but also powerful, a machine that is fast on the track and on the road. It is extremely popular among tuners, and the German tuner company Brabus, master of high-end modifications, presented the Brabus 900 Rocket R based on this model.

The special “Widestar” body kit brings a host of carbon fiber components including a new front lip spoiler, new wheel arch vents, and a new rear diffuser. All components are optimized in the wind tunnel, and Brabus says the result is “a new level of aerodynamic efficiency”.

What most fans of Porsche cars are interested in is the engine. The car is powered by a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six engine with 900 hp (662 kW). The high-performance sports exhaust system is made of Inconel and contains electronically controlled valves, which enables better air flow. All this allows the car to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 2.5 seconds, which is impressive. Customers will be able to choose between an automatically or manually shifted eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to all wheels.

Brabus 900 Rocket R is equipped with five-spoke 22/21-inch BRABUS Monoblock P “Platinum Edition” wheels, carbon fiber aero-discs, BRABUS sports suspension, new coilover springs and fully adjustable shock absorbers.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in soft black leather that also covers the door panels, dashboard, and central console, while the headliner is upholstered in Alcantara. The artwork is completed by high-gloss carbon fiber elements on the central console, pedal pads made from anodized aluminum, carbon fiber door sill trims with an integrated LED backlit BRABUS logo.

Last year, it was serviced when the valves were adjusted, the fuel pump was replaced, the oil, spark plugs and valve cover gaskets were changed, and the PerTronix ignition system was installed. The engine is paired with a five-speed 915 manual transmission that delivers power to the rear wheels. It’s mounted on 930-specification 16″ Fuchs wheels wrapped in 205/55 and 245/45 Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position tires.

This car is finished in Grand Prix White, well maintained and in excellent condition. It is equipped with a sunroof, a steel RS ducktail spoiler, a front lip spoiler, amber rear corner lights, European-market headlights, fog lights, custom dual-outlet rear valance, polished-aluminum aluminum trailing arms, powder-coated suspension components, Bilstein dampers at all four corners, four-wheel discs with cross-drilled rotors and stainless-steel brake hoses.

Inside, the seats are trimmed with black upholstery, while black leather covers the door panels and the dashboard to which the fuel and electrical system shut-off switches have been added. In front of the driver is a MOMO Prototipo steering wheel and a five-digit odometer showing 3,813 miles.
