Ask any petrolhead about the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance, they’d give you the thumbs up. But what if 831 HP of hybrid isn’t enough for the power-hungry you, well then you may want to check out the BRABUS Rocket 1000 “1 of 25” that has a whopping 1,000 horsepower on the tap.
Yes. You read that right. It is one thousand freaking horsepower! It is the first BRABUS Rocket with four-digit performance figures and the most potent supercar in BRABUS’ history. This BRABUS is truly out of this world and the best part is that it still sits four.
This hybrid marvel combines a newly developed BRABUS Rocket 1000 4.5-liter V8 engine with electric drive, generating a combined output of 736 kW/1,000 HP and an enormous, metal-twisting maximum torque of 1,820 Nm (1,342 lb-ft!), though it’s electronically limited to 1,620 Nm (1,195 lb-ft) for the sake of the transmission’s integrity. Still, it is an alarming number, IMHO.
This BRABUS Super Sedan has a synchronous permanent magnet motor on its rear axle which produces 105 kW/204 HP, and is paired to a 6.1 kWh lithium-ion battery, and an automatically shifted two-speed gearbox. The ICE’s power is put to good use on all four wheels through a SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9-speed sports transmission. So, yeah, it has a 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. All told this 4-door beast is capable of wiping the century sprint in just 2.6 seconds.
As for the design, it pays homage to the 2006 original, featuring carbon components like the front apron, spoiler, and aero-blades for optimized airflow, plus two ram air intakes for cooling the V8 engine.
This four-door hybrid isn’t just fast—it’s also stylish, with 21-inch front and 22-inch rear BRABUS Monoblock P forged wheels, and reaches speeds of over 300 km/h (316 km/h to be precise, or about 196 mph).
Inside, the Rocket 1000 boasts a Masterpiece interior covered in soft, breathable black leather with “Ellipse” quilting, alongside “Heritage” patterns that nod to BRABUS’s 1977 origins. This car isn’t just a step forward in performance; it’s a leap into the future of supercars. It really is. The best part is 4 people get to share the thrill. Oh, we said that already?
We are not sure if this limited super sedan is still available but you are welcome to touch base with BRABUS to inquire. Meanwhile, you may learn more about this 1,000 HP sports sedan HERE.
