BRABUS has introduced the Rocket 900 Desert Gold Edition, a limousine with supercar-crushing performance. Based on the Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, the Rocket 900 has a nought to 100km/h time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed exceeding 350km/h.
Responsible for these figures is a twin-turbocharged V12 that produces 900hp (or 887bhp) and an asphaltmelting 1200Nm. The engine’s original displacement of 5.5-litres was increased to 6.3-litres and features larger turbochargers, wider downpipes and a stainless steel exhaust system.
Giving this Brabus its unique appearance are its Desert Gold paintwork, forged 21-inch Monoblock F Plantinum Edition wheels and carbon fibre aerodynamic components. Mimicking the exterior, the vehicle’s interior is upholstered in gold and black Mastik leather, with “900” logos on the head restraints. Helping tame the car’s monstrous output are the limited-slip differential and Airmatic Sport Unit, which lowers ride height by 15mm.
