BRABUS 900 ROCKET R “1 of 25” Limited Edition: This supercar from the Bottrop-based vehicle manufacturer accredited with the German Federal Motor Authority represents an exclusive sports car in a class of its own: This coupe, here represented by two vehicles, one sporting black metallic paintwork and the other a “Signature Gray” special paint finish, will be built in a limited edition of just 25 cars.The new supercar from BRABUS and 1,000 Nm (738 lb-ft) peak torque. It slings the BRABUS 900 ROCKET R “1 of 25” Limited Edition from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2.5 seconds and hits 200 km/h (124 mph) in 7.2 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 340 km/h (211 mph).The BRABUS WIDESTAR carbon bodywork was developed and aerodynamically optimized in the wind tunnel. It is equally spectacular as the engine. It makes the coupe 196.8 centimeters (77.5 in) wide and thus creates space for 21- and 22-inch extra-wide BRABUS Monoblock P wheels with high-performance tires up to 335 millimeters (13.2 in) wide.The BRABUS MASTERPIECE interior offers an exclusive ambience at the highest level. The “Signature Gray” supercar presented here features gray interior appointments matching the special paint finish. Red stitching and trim, as well as carbon elements emphasize the sporty character of this supercar. In contrast, the cockpit of the second supercar shown here features black tone-on-tone appointments. Prices for the BRABUS 900 ROCKET R “1 of 25” Limited Edition start at 461,500 euros (export price in Germany excluding statutory VAT).
The broad range of BRABUS supercars now has a new and particularly special attraction: The German company accredited with the Federal Motor Transport Authority in Flensburg as a vehicle manufacturer presents a high-performance pickup in a class of its own with an output of 662 kW / 900 hp (888 bhp) and a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph) – the BRABUS P 900 ROCKET EDITION “One of Ten.”The basis is provided by a Mercedes-AMG G 63 fresh from the factory, which BRABUS transforms into an equally exclusive, extremely powerful and fast all-wheel drive vehicle with truck bed. The tailor-made rear-end module behind the four-seat cab has bedsides made from high-strength, ultra-light carbon. The BRABUS WIDESTAR ROCKET EDITION widebody version with specially designed BRABUS Monoblock Z 24-inch hi-tech forged wheels featuring BRABUS Aero-Discs made from exposed carbon further amplify the spectacular looks. Technology partner Continental developed the fitting high-performance street tires for the pickup up to size 355/25 R 24 on the rear axle. The BRABUS RideControl aluminum coilover suspension is another custom development. Thanks to the lowered center of gravity and the different levels of the damping selectable from the cockpit, it makes the handling significantly sportier and safer than one would expect of a pickup.
The new BRABUS 900 XLP “ONE OF TEN” is powered by the brawniest engine from BRABUS production: The BRABUS ROCKET 900 V8 twin-turbo, increased-displacement engine is an evolution of the G 63 engine with a displacement increase to 4.5 liters. It produces a peak output of 662 kW / 900 hp (888 bhp) and a peak torque of 1,250 Nm (922 lb-ft), though the latter is capped at 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft) in the vehicle. It pushes the high-end pickup from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.4 seconds. Due to the high center of gravity and the all-terrain tires mounted on custom-developed BRABUS Z/HD 22-inch forged wheels, the top speed is electronically limited to 210 km/h (130 mph).The vehicle pictured in the attached photos sports a ‘ROCKET Grey’ special paint finish and a black BRABUS MASTERPIECE interior with carbon adornments and elements glazed in red.
"Britain's fastest snowboarder Jamie Barrow has broken his own Guinness World Record, clocking a new fastest speed on a snowboard while being towed by a vehicle on the frozen lakes of St Moritz. Barrow previously broke the same record in February 2016, when he was clocked at a speed of 99.87 km/h while being towed behind a car across the same frozen lake in St Moritz. Despite breaking the record in 2016, Barrow was always confident that an even greater speed was possible, due to the track in 2016 being slightly shorter than originally planned and the soft snow not allowing the grip needed. This time he returned to the lake with a powerful Maserati Levante SUV, a much faster car than the one used in his last record attempt, fitted with Pirelli Scorpion Winter tires. The special studded tires have 474 studs per tire and are 4 mm long to allow the best grip possible on the frozen lake. Maserati's luxury SUV offers an array of high-tech features including the Q4 Intelligent All-Wheel Drive System and the recently developed EPS producing a highly capable SUV. With its variable torque control, the Q4 Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system is always active and responds immediately to any variation in the driving conditions, providing premium performance for Barrow's Guinness World Record."
