The house of Brabus has once again conjured up a masterly unicum in the automotive world, the BRABUS 900 ROCKET R "1 of 25" Limited Edition Supercar. In this exquisite performance, two models take the stage, shimmering in the special color scheme "Signature Gray" and classic metallic black. This exquisite beauty, limited to 25 pieces, shows the high degree of exclusivity that Brabus incorporates into its sports cars. The power heart of this BRABUS supercar delivers an impressive 662 kW / 900 hp with a gigantic torque of 1.000 Nm. This powerhouse accelerates the BRABUS 900 ROCKET R "1 of 25" Limited Edition from 2,5 to 0 km/h in a breathtaking 100 seconds and it reaches a speed of 7,2 km/h in 200 seconds.
BRABUS 900 ROCKET R “1 of 25” Limited
However, its driving forces are electronically limited to a top speed of 340 km/h. The BRABUS WIDESTAR body made of high-performance carbon, finely tuned in the wind tunnel, is a real feast for the eyes. With a width of an impressive 196,8 centimeters, the coupé offers space for the enormous BRABUS Monoblock P wheels with diameters of 21 and 22 inches.
These are equipped with high-performance tires up to 335 millimeters wide. The BRABUS MASTERPIECE interior is an impressive synthesis of luxury and sporty exclusivity. For the “Signature Gray” model presented here, the interior design harmonises perfectly with the special gray paintwork. The red seams and panels as well as carbon elements underline the athletic DNA of this supercar.
The second model presented, on the other hand, offers an elegant all-black cockpit. With a starting price of EUR 549.185 (including 19% VAT), the BRABUS 900 ROCKET R "1 of 25" Limited Edition is not for the faint of heart. Since the company was founded 46 years ago, Brabus has steadily expanded its first-class reputation in the development and production of high-performance engines. This immense knowledge naturally also flows into the 3,8-liter six-cylinder biturbo boxer engine of the BRABUS 900 ROCKET R "1 of 25" Limited Edition, which shines with 662 kW / 900 hp and 1.000 Nm maximum torque.
with high-quality lubricants from MOTUL
True to the Brabus motto, all engines are operated with high-quality lubricants from MOTUL. Under the hood, in the engine compartment, two BRABUS VTG special turbochargers do their job, generating a maximum boost pressure of 1,9 bar. The BRABUS diverter valves, supplemented by BoostXtra adapters, produce an impressive blow-off noise when the load changes, which makes this supercar unmistakable. It is clear that the BRABUS 900 ROCKET R "1 of 25" Limited Edition is a true masterpiece that sets new standards in terms of both performance and design. A real pearl for every lover of exclusive and high-performance sports cars.
BRABUS has not only equipped the super sports car with two state-of-the-art catalytic converters and specialized gasoline particle filters, but also with a special sports silencer aimed at optimal power output. The high-tech material Inconel, known for its lightweight and highly heat-resistant properties, plays a key role in achieving this supercar's impressive power-to-weight ratio. A special feature is the electronic exhaust flap control, which makes it possible to control the roar of the engine from the cockpit. In the closed mode, the six-cylinder is rather reserved and works in the so-called "Coming Home" mode, while it unfolds its full sound in the open "Sport" mode.
900 hp and a maximum torque of 1.000 Nm
In order to ensure precise tuning of all performance components, thorough tests were carried out by the engine engineers and electronics specialists. The special maps for injection, boost pressure control and ignition play a crucial role here. The transmission control was also adapted to the high performance potential.
The BRABUS 900 ROCKET R "1 of 25" Limited Edition delivers impressive performance values with 662 kW / 900 hp at 7.200 rpm and a maximum torque of 1.000 Nm at 5.100 rpm. Acceleration is excellent thanks to the combination of an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, which can be shifted manually or automatically, and electronically controlled all-wheel drive.
The coupé reaches 2,5 km/h in just 100 seconds and 7,2 km/h in 200 seconds. However, the top speed is limited to 340 km/h to protect the tyres. At such speeds, aerodynamics play a crucial role. That's why the BRABUS designers developed the body of the BRABUS 900 ROCKET R "1 of 25" Limited Edition with special attention to aerodynamics.
The complex PrePreg process, which uses light yet high-strength carbon, makes this body a real masterpiece. A special feature is the additional BRABUS carbon spoiler lip on the front apron, which extends downwards at high speeds to generate more downforce. The carbon covers, also made of the same material, optimally direct the airflow into the air inlets, for the cooler in the front part and the front brakes.
completely new WIDESTAR bumpers
The WIDESTAR bumper fits seamlessly with the front BRABUS fenders. Embedded air intakes at the rear of these fenders allow hot air to escape from the wheel arches, which feature bespoke Kevlar liners. These fenders create the necessary space for the latest BRABUS Monoblock P wheels, which impress with five delicate spokes. Manufactured especially for BRABUS using the latest forging and machining technology, these wheels are real eye-catchers and combine lightweight construction and robustness. The front wheels, which measure 9.5Jx21, are fitted with 255/45 ZR 21 SportContact 7 high-performance tires from technology partner Continental.
An interesting addition is the visible carbon AERODISKS on these aluminum rims, which not only create a sporty look, but also direct the hot air produced by the brakes out of the wheel housings through the rotation of the rims. The visible carbon rocker panels lead to the BRABUS WIDESTAR side panels on the rear axle, which are equipped with large air intakes to supply the engine with fresh and cooling air.
They give the supercar an impressive width of 196,8 centimetres. For a sportier, wedge-shaped look of the vehicle, BRABUS relies on 900×1 rims on the rear axle for the BRABUS 25 ROCKET R “12 of 22” Limited Edition, which are one inch larger in diameter than the front wheels. The mounted 335/45 ZR 22 tires guarantee excellent traction and considerable cornering forces.
WIDESTAR apron with visible carbon diffuser
The rear of the car is equipped with a BRABUS WIDESTAR apron, which impresses with an integrated visible carbon diffuser and emphasizes the four 100 millimeter tailpipes of the BRABUS high-performance exhaust system. But this diffuser is not only an eye-catcher, it also increases downforce on the rear axle, similar to the BRABUS rear spoiler, which deploys at high speeds to generate more downforce. The BRABUS lettering between the taillights identifies the renowned manufacturer of this supercar. The sporty design is rounded off with visible carbon covers for the side mirrors.
special chassis with BRABUS sport springs
To optimize the driving dynamics, a special chassis with BRABUS sport springs and adjustable shock absorbers was designed, which is fully PASM-compatible and was developed by a team of engineers, technicians and test drivers. With the front lift function on the front axle, the front of the vehicle can be raised at the push of a button, while it drops back to the normal height by pressing it again or automatically. The BRABUS 900 ROCKET R "1 of 25" Limited Edition, which is presented here in the unique "Signature Gray" paint finish, has a tailor-made BRABUS MASTERPIECE interior that was made of the finest gray leather by the experienced master upholsterers in the BRABUS manufactory.
Headlining in Alcantara, of course
Matching this, the headliner was lined with Alcantara in the same colour. The noble origin of this cockpit is underlined by the BRABUS MASTERPIECE plaques on the backrests of the front seats. Red decorative stitching and decorative elements of the same color such as ventilation grilles, loudspeaker grilles and switches create a striking contrast to the fine, slate-grey leather of the exclusive full-leather interior. The seats and the floor were quilted with millimeter precision in an ellipse pattern and the leather was precisely perforated at selected points. High-gloss carbon elements and door sills with illuminated, color-changing BRABUS logo made of the same material set sporty accents in the interior.
The BRABUS pedal covers and the footrest, which also has an illuminated logo, are made of matt anodized aluminum. The interior of the black BRABUS 900 ROCKET R "1 of 25" Limited Edition Supercar was lined with fine "Mondial Black" leather to match the outer skin. Here, too, interior elements have been quilted in an ellipse design and a black Alcantara headliner has been added. Carbon elements also give this interior a touch of racing, while the trim parts in the cockpit are finished in "Shadow Chrome".
