Aftermarket hyper tuners Brabus have taken a stock Mercedes GLS 63 AMG 4Matic+ and turned it into an unhinged Brabus defined rocket ship. Brabus has managed to squeeze an extra 300bhp out of the 4.5-liter, twin-turbo, V8 engine elevating the base engine from a stock 603bhp to 900bhp, peak torque now reads 1,250 Nm, which is limited to 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft) in the vehicle.
From rest, the Brabus 900 Superblack catapults itself to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.6 seconds. Depending on the selected tire/wheel combination, the top speed is electronically limited to 310 or 330 km/h (192 or 205 mph).
Exposed-carbon air intakes are integrated into the radiator grille at the left and right funnels air into the engine. The fuel supply is modified accordingly as well with three special high-pressure pumps. The Brabus 900 engine cover made from red exposed carbon puts the finishing touches on the V8.
The aerodynamics, tires and suspension were also tailored to the performance of the Brabus 900 Superblack. The bodywork features exposed carbon fiber elements, bodytrim and upgrades for an aggressive stance.
Aerodynamic enhancements reduce front-axle lift at high speeds, which results in further improved handling stability. The side air intakes in the front bumper are upgraded with tailor-made air ducting.
Engineers developed a custom control module for the air suspension. It decreases the ride height of the 900 Superblack by 25 millimeters (1.0) compared to the base car.
Brabus air intakes incorporated in the radiator grille includes a backlit Brabus emblem and white signature stripes. The 900 Superblack rides on Brabus Monoblock Z “PLATINUM EDITION” 24-inch wheels.
The Brabus 900 Superblack retails from 564.462,22 EUROS.
