BRABUS supercars have been part of the absolute elite of high-performance automobiles for more than four decades. With the new BRABUS ROCKET 1000 “1 of 25”, the Bottrop-based vehicle manufacturer accredited with the German Federal Motor Transport Authority continues this tradition with its first supercar that produces 1,000 horsepower. The basis is provided by the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE four-door coupe.As the name of this supercar limited to just 25 vehicles worldwide indicates, the BRABUS ROCKET 1000 “1 of 25” produces a system output of 736 kW / 1,000 hp. Even more massive is the increase in peak torque from 1,470 Nm to 1,820 Nm (1,084 to 1,342 lb-ft). This value is reduced to 1,620 Nm (1,195 lb-ft) in the car to protect the driveline.The hybrid drive of this exclusive automobile with 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive consists of an internal combustion engine, the 4.5-liter BRABUS ROCKET 1000 V8 Biturbo increased-displacement engine, which produces an impressive 157 horsepower more than the production engine rated at 470 kW / 639 hp, and an electric motor that generates 150 kW / 204 hp.The performance on the road speaks for itself: The sprint from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes a mere 2.7 seconds and to 300 km/h (186 mph) just 23.7 seconds. The top speed of the new BRABUS supercar is electronically limited to 316 km/h (196 mph).The car’s outstanding performance is accompanied by spectacular looks and highly efficient aerodynamics. The BRABUS ROCKET 1000 “1 of 25” widebody version ensures the hallmark BRABUS “1-Second-Wow” effect and has a host of elements made from exposed carbon with a high-gloss clear coat finish.Under the carbon fenders are the newly developed king-sized BRABUS Monoblock P hi-tech forged wheels of size 10.5Jx21 at the front and size 12Jx22 on the rear axle. The high-performance tires up to size 335/25 ZR 22 at the rear are supplied by technology partner Continental.The extravagant character of the BRABUS ROCKET 1000 “1 of 25” also includes a highly exclusive MASTERPIECE interior that impresses not only with its exquisite material selection, but also on account of its sophisticated design and precision workmanship in every detail.
This bright yellow speed demon is called the Jet Bus, and it's probably the fastest school bus ever built, all thanks to a powerful jet engine. Created by the Gerd Habermann Racing Group, the jet bus is propelled by a kerosene-powered Westinghouse J34 turbine, which generates an astonishing 25,000 horsepower. It went on display at the 2017 Essen Motor Show in Germany this weekend.

A rocket made by a Japanese company exploded just after launch on Wednesday in Japan's Wakayama. Tokyo-based startup Space One had been aiming to become the first Japanese private firm to successfully place a satellite into orbit. Its 18-meter (60-foot) solid-fuel Kairos rocket blasted off from the startup's own launch pad in Wakayama prefecture in western Japan, carrying a small government test satellite. But seconds after the launch, the rocket erupted into a ball of flame, with black smoke filling the launch pad area. Burning debris was seen falling onto the surrounding mountain slopes as sprinklers began spraying water. IMAGES
