This Monster Had So Much Torque, Brabus Had to Contain It

The newest model from Brabus produces such high levels of torque that it needed a restriction to protect the transmission.
The coupé built on the AMG GT model reaches 62 mph in 2.6 seconds and 124 mph within 9.5 seconds.
Interior elements feature black leather combined with carbon fiber accents and anodized red detailing.

We might be incorrect, but we believe that not many individuals would glance at the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance and begin thinking 'this device requires additional strength.' Clearly, the specialists at Brabus Possesses a distinct way of thinking compared to many others and has taken the GT 63 S E as the foundation for their newest project, called the Brabus 1000. In addition to various performance upgrades, the modified vehicle also includes a significantly redesigned exterior and cabin.

It's easy to guess just how powerful the Brabus 1000 is: 1,000 PS, naturally, or 986 hp. What may be even more shocking than that top horsepower figure is the maximum torque of 1,342 pound-feet (1,820 Newton-meters), which could potentially be sufficient to make the Earth rotate. Such an immense amount of rotational force means the engine has been limited to 1,195 pound-feet (1,620 Newton-meters) to prevent damage to the transmission.

In order to deliver additional power, Brabus hasn’t just added bigger turbos; they've expanded the 4.0-liter V8 engine to 4.5 liters. Additionally, it features a billet-aluminum crankshaft and high-strength forged connecting rods, along with a customized stainless-steel exhaust system. Keep in mind that the E Performance model is a hybrid equipped with a 201-hp electric motor, which means the internal combustion engine on the Brabus 1000 produces 785 horsepower and 922 pound-feet (1,250 Newton-meters) of torque on its own.

Acceleration That Redefines ‘Fast’

The performance is expected to be completely ridiculous. As stated by the manufacturer, the vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in only 2.6 seconds. It reaches 124 mph (200 km/h) in 9.5 seconds and 186 mph (300 km/h) in 23.6 seconds, with the maximum speed limited electronically to 200 mph (320 km/h).

Beyond Just Glamour

Beyond overhauling the car’s powertrain Brabus has dedicated significant effort to improving the vehicle's aerodynamics. It features an updated front bumper with new canards, fresh grille elements, and a carbon fiber lip. The back of the car catches attention with a static rear spoiler and a carbon fiber rear diffuser. Alongside these new exterior components are 21- and 22-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels and KW suspension systems that lower the chassis by 20 millimeters.

Inside the cabin, there's also a lot happening. The GT 63 S E Performance Has undergone a fresh trim using new black leather, along with extra carbon fiber elements and numerous vibrant red features such as the air vents, speaker covers, and door controls.

Of course, nothing like this is inexpensive. The Brabus 1000 carries a price tag of €445,900, approximately $515,000. With this amount, you receive a Mercedes-AMG pushed to a whole different standard, appealing to individuals who might consider it too basic for their preferences.
