Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG Rocket by Brabus
The new Mercedes-AMG S65 Coupe has
joined Brabus’ family of insanely powerful Rocket models boasting 900 PS and 1,500 Nm of torque, though the latter is electronically
limited to 1,200 Nm.
To extract those kind of figures from
the stock 630 PS and 1,000 Nm 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, Brabus
increased its displacement to 6.3-liters and made all sorts of upgrades,
ranging from a special billet crankshaft with longer stroke and new
turbochargers to a reprogrammed ECU and a high performance exhaust.
All that power is channeled to the rear
wheels via a reinforced a seven-speed automatic transmission with steering
wheel paddle shifters along with a BRABUS high-performance limited-slip
differential with a locking rate of 40 percent.
The new Brabus 900 Rocket Coupe promises
to blast to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, beating the standard car by 0.4
seconds, while reaching 200 km/h in 9.1 seconds and achieving a de-restricted
top speed of 350 km/h.
A new suspension module that can lower
the ride-height by around 15 millimeters (0.6 in) and a choice of 21-inch
wheels in 255/35 ZR 21 tires front and 295/30 ZR 21 rear, or 22-inch rims in
255/30 ZR 22 tires front and 295/25 ZR 22 rear, complete the performance
upgrades.
Brabus’ transformation of the
Mercedes-AMG S65 Coupe concludes with a carbon fiber aerodynamic kit that
includes front apron, boot lid spoiler, rear diffuser and side skirts, along
with carbon fiber mirror caps and trims, and a makeover of the cabin with
exclusive light brown and magnolia leather, umbra-colored wood trims, aluminum
components and backlit scuff plates.
The German tuner offers the BRABUS 900
ROCKET Coupe as a complete car or as an aftermarket package for any current
Mercedes-AMG S65 Coupe.
Brabus will debut the coupe alongside
their new 641 hp Mercedes-AMG C63S sedan tune in Geneva.
