Brabus has outdone itself once again with the Rocket GTS, a mind-bending creation based on the Mercedes-AMG SL. This isn't your ordinary SL, though. It's been transformed into a bespoke Shooting Brake with a carbon fiber body and a plug-in hybrid powertrain delivering a staggering 986 horsepower.
To achieve this unique body style, Brabus had to design and fabricate numerous custom body panels, including the roof, pillars, greenhouse, rear fenders, and tailgate. The result is a sleek and aggressive silhouette, accentuated by exaggerated front fenders, a vented hood, and a sporty rear diffuser. The aerodynamically optimized design ensures exceptional stability at high speeds, with a top speed of 317 km/h.
The interior of the Rocket GTS is equally impressive, featuring a combination of soft leather and Alcantara upholstery in a sleek slate gray and jet black color scheme. Carbon fiber accents, Brabus emblems, and Shadow Gray details add a touch of luxury and sportiness. The Shooting Brake body style offers increased cargo space, making it a practical choice for those seeking both performance and versatility.
Under the hood, the plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a heavily modified 4.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 986 hp and 1,620 Nm of torque. This translates to blistering performance, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 2.6 seconds.
The Brabus Rocket GTS is a limited-edition model, and the first example is already available for sale at a price tag of €945,762.50. This exclusive vehicle represents the pinnacle of automotive performance and luxury, offering a truly unforgettable driving experience.
