Superior performance in combination with a sporty, elegant carbon designer suit, 24-inch high-tech forged wheels and an exclusive interior in two colors: With the new BRABUS 900, BRABUS is building the ultimate high-performance luxury SUV based on the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC . The heart of the supercar is the BRABUS ROCKET 900 V8 biturbo engine. The engine, enlarged to 4,5 liters, has an output of 662 kW / 900 hp and produces a maximum torque of 1 Nm, which is limited to 250 Nm in the vehicle. The four-wheel drive car accelerates from 1 – 050 km/h in just 4,2 seconds. The electronic speed limiter intervenes at 0 km/h. The sporty BRABUS visible carbon package for the body matches this driving performance. The grille and all other trim parts, which are chromed on the base car, have been glazed in Shadow Gray to match the black paintwork. The forged BRABUS Monoblock M "PLATINUM EDITION" 100-inch wheels are also presented in the same color.

  • Striking exterior design with carbon aerodynamics and BRABUS Masterpiece Sign of Excellence elements
  • 4,5 liter V8 biturbo BRABUS ROCKET displacement engine with 662 kW / 900 hp

The interior of the high-performance luxury SUV was customized in the in-house upholstery shop with a BRABUS MASTERPIECE interior in black and cream-colored leather. The supercharged eight-cylinder engine of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC forms the perfect basis for what is currently the most powerful engine from BRABUS high-tech engine construction, the BRABUS ROCKET 900 V8 biturbo displacement engine. The engine engineers at the world's largest manufacturer-independent automobile refiner have always followed the successful philosophy that cubic capacity can only be replaced by even more cubic capacity.

more displacement for more power

For the expansion from the standard 3982 cm³ to 4407 cm³, not only are the cylinder bores enlarged to 84 millimeters and precisely matched forged pistons are installed in Bottrop. The stroke is extended to 100 millimeters with a special crankshaft milled from solid and then finely balanced and correspondingly designed connecting rods. Under the BRABUS engine cover in red carbon there are numerous other modifications to achieve the desired increase in performance without any compromises in terms of stability and suitability for everyday use. Two high-pressure pumps with increased delivery and an additional booster pump optimize the fuel supply to the engine. The intake tract has also been extensively modified for improved air supply.

The two high-performance turbochargers specially designed for this engine play a key role in the performance of the current BRABUS top-of-the-line engine. They are equipped with a larger compressor unit and a special core assembly with reinforced thrust bearings. In this configuration, they produce a higher boost pressure of 1,4 bar than the standard parts. Further upgrades on the exhaust side are high-throughput metal catalytic converters and the BRABUS stainless steel high-performance exhaust system with exhaust flap control specially designed for the GLS body. It has sound management that can be controlled from the driver's seat. At the push of a button you can choose between the whispering "Coming home" mode and the earthy, thoroughbred V8 sound when the "Sport" option is activated. With its two design tailpipes with cast-in BRABUS logo on the left and right, this exhaust system is also a visual treat.

EURO 6D ISC-FCM emission standard

To ensure that all high-performance components mesh perfectly and thus ensure optimal power development, the engine electronics were recalibrated using the latest test benches and the great know-how of the BRABUS electronics engineers. This results not only in the enormous performance potential, but also in emission values ​​in accordance with the strict EURO 6D ISC-FCM emission standard. The high-tech lubricants for the entire drive train come from technology partner MOTUL.

The performance data of the BRABUS ROCKET 900 V8 biturbo displacement engine speaks for itself: 662 kW / 900 hp at just 6 rpm are just as unique for a road-legal SUV as the maximum torque of 200 Nm, which is already available at 1 rpm is achieved. In the vehicle, this value is limited to 250 Nm to protect the entire power transmission. Of course, this high-performance engine also comes with the unique BRABUS tuning guarantee over 2 years and up to 900 kilometers (according to the BRABUS guarantee conditions, as of July 1).

In perfect interaction with the 4MATIC all-wheel drive, the BRABUS 900 achieves performance that would do credit to even a thoroughbred sports car, but with an unladen weight of around 2,8 tons plus crew it is absolutely unique: The refined luxury SUV from the Bottrop factory catapults itself out of the Accelerated to 4,2 km/h in just 100 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 320 km/h due to the high vehicle weight. In daily traffic, the five-door not only fascinates with these outstanding values, but above all with its outstanding acceleration at any speed.

BRABUS MASTERPIECE logos

With the enormously high speeds that this high-performance SUV can easily reach at any time, aerodynamics naturally also play an enormously important role. For this purpose, the BRABUS designers developed body components that not only give the SUV a decidedly sporty character thanks to their production in light but robust carbon. Thanks to their sophisticated shape, they also reduce aerodynamic lift at high speeds. The noble lineage is presented with BRABUS MASTERPIECE logos on both D-pillars and the running boards that can be extended electrically from the side skirts.

The combination of BRABUS front spoiler and carbon attachments is visually enhanced with another measure: the radiator grille, like all trim parts that are normally chrome-plated on the body of the top-of-the-line GLS-Class model, was glazed in Shadow Gray and also gives the SUV a special look a more dynamic face. The middle part of the rear bumper is replaced by a BRABUS carbon part with an integrated diffuser. It not only gives the SUV a distinctly sporty look, but also perfectly frames the rectangular tailpipes of the BRABUS sports exhaust system on both sides.

The sporty, elegant appearance à la BRABUS is rounded off by huge 24-inch wheels. The Monoblock M "PLATINUM EDITION" forged wheels perfectly fill the space in the fenders, which are finished with BRABUS visible carbon extensions. The attractive disc wheels with sophisticated ventilation openings for the brakes are created in a complex manufacturing process that achieves enormous strength. BRABUS technology partner Continental contributes the perfect SportContact 6 high-performance tires. 10Jx24 rims with 295/35 R 24 tires are used at the front. On the rear axle there are 12Jx24 wheels with 335/30 R 24 tires.

BRABUS MASTERPIECE bi-color interior

The BRABUS chassis engineers have modified the standard air suspension with a special control module to match these sporty street tires. With a special map, the supercar is lowered by about 25 millimeters compared to the series. Another BRABUS domain is the realization of individual customer requests in the vehicle interior. For the BRABUS 900 presented here, the tuner's experienced upholsterers created a particularly exclusive BRABUS MASTERPIECE bi-color interior. For this, particularly soft and breathable leather in black and cream was used as a contrast to the outer skin. The design of this upholstery is characterized by millimeter-precise, shell-shaped quilting and equally precise perforations on the center sections of the seats and the door panels.

This design language is continued on the vehicle floor, the floor mats and the cushions in the rear. To further increase comfort in the rear, there are two more comfortable cushions with Alcantara covers and the BRABUS logo on the rear seat headrests. In order to set sporty contrasts, the interior designers equipped this high-end SUV with aluminum pedals and high-gloss sealed BRABUS signature carbon elements on the steering wheel, dashboard, center console and door inlays. Stainless steel door sills with illuminated BRABUS logo welcome the driver and passengers. They are glazed in Shadow Gray just like the plastic parts in the interior. The BRABUS 900 based on the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC is built to order. Alternatively, the customer can have their existing vehicle upgraded.
