Mat's flown over to Germany to get his hands on an extremely special vehicle!
For the very first time, he's got his hands on the Brabus Rocket GTS! It's based on the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 e-Performance, and it is among the most outstanding vehicles Brabus has actually ever produced! But what makes it so unique? Let's take a better look …
The exterior style is extremely special, and that's because this is the first vehicle where Brabus has re-engineered the exterior body! As an outcome, there are some resemblances to the SL 63, however it largely looks like a completely different vehicle. Up front, there's a very aggressive bumper with huge air consumptions, and an air intake in the centre of the bonnet. Along the side, there are 21" alloys at the front and 22" alloys at the rear, with both fitted with aero covers. Once we head towards the back, there are extended wheel arches, while at the back, there's a ducktail spoiler, quad tailpipes, and a substantial diffuser.
It's also worth keeping in mind that every single body panel on the car is made from carbon fiber, and there are only three exterior components taken from the SL – the headlights, the tail lights, and the door manages! Everything else is bespoke for this vehicle!
On the within, the general layout of the cabin matches what you'll find in the basic SL 63. That means it comes with the very same infotainment screen layout and the same digital dial setup. Nevertheless, as soon as you look a bit better, you'll see some subtle changes. Around almost every element, there's bespoke trim and detailing – that suggests trim around the screen, the centre console, and even the door switches! There's likewise leather throughout the entire cabin, along with a load of carbon fibre. Even the door mats are made from leather!
It's not just the outside style that's outstanding. As soon as you look under the carbon fiber bonnet, you'll discover something truly special. The Brabus group have likewise gone to town on the engine, which implies the Rocket GTS is powered by a 4.5-litre twin-turbo V8, which, when combined with the electrical motor, produces 1,000 hp and an eye-watering 1,820 Nm! That's an increase of 184hp and 400Nm!
There's one catch, mind – the Rocket GTS has a price of ₤ 1,000,000!! So is it worth it? You'll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!
