STUTTGART: The Brabus 1000 hybrid supercar, based on the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance, is another benchmark in electrified high performance.
Its hybrid powertrain combines a 4.5-litre Brabus V8 biturbo engine with a high-output electric drive system.
The result is a system output of 1,000hp and a peak torque of 1,820Nm, electronically limited to 1,620Nm to safeguard drivetrain integrity.
The Brabus-engineered V8 delivers 796hp and 1,250Nm of torque — electronically managed to 1,050Nm in-vehicle for seamless integration with the hybrid architecture.
This power is routed through the Speedshift MCT nine-speed sports transmission and the intelligent 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system.
Shifts can be controlled either automatically or manually via the carbon fiber Brabus paddle shifters.
At the rear axle, the electric module was adopted unchanged from the base vehicle.
It delivers an additional 150kW/204hp through its own two-speed automatic transmission.
This compact, high-performance electric motor — paired with a lithium-ion battery — provides instantaneous torque.
The exclusive 2+2-seater catapults itself from a standing start to 100kph in just 2.6 seconds.
After 9.5 seconds, it is already traveling at 200kph.
It reaches the 300kph threshold after a staggering 23.6 seconds.
The top speed is electronically limited to 320kph.
But performance is only half the experience — the other half is sound.
The Brabus stainless steel high-performance exhaust system, complete with metal catalytic converters, special particulate filters and active valve control, delivers a full-spectrum acoustic experience.
With the push of a button, you control the soundtrack: from a refined whisper to an all-out, unapologetic V8 tone.
The Brabus 1000 shown here features 22/21-inch Brabus Monoblock Z high-end forged wheels.
The extra-wide high-performance tires in sizes 305/30 ZR 21 and 335/25 ZR 22 are supplied by Continental or Hankook.
The chassis is further refined by height-adjustable Brabus sport springs which lower the ride height by up to 20mm, reducing the center of gravity for enhanced agility, and improved aerodynamics.
The Brabus 1000’s bodywork is equipped with bespoke exposed-structure carbon fiber components.
In the front, the newly developed Brabus carbon fiber spoiler takes the supercar’s face to a new visual level.
It channels airflow with surgical accuracy, reducing lift and enhancing cornering stability.
The bespoke Masterpiece interior is upholstered entirely in the finest black leather — elegantly contrasted by black Dinamica microfiber across the headliner.
The seats and interior door panels are both quilted and perforated in the iconic Brabus “Shell” pattern.
Subtle “Heritage” pattern embossings with the founding year "77" pay tribute to the origins of the brand.
Carbon fiber takes center stage throughout the interior.
From the custom pedal pads to the center console, dashboard trim and door handles, high-gloss sealed carbon inlays emphasize the supercar’s motorsport DNA.
The Brabus 1000 is built to order and can be individualized to the owner's exact specifications.
