Who’s ready for an epic Brabus showdown?!

We’ve got our hands on the incredible Brabus 900 Rocket R, and it’s set to face off against two 900 Superblacks - one based on the GLS, and one based on the G63!

So let’s see how these epic machines compare. The 900 Rocket R is based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S. The standard car is powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six that provides 650hp and 800Nm of torque. However, Brabus has added two high-performance turbos, while also making several other tweaks. As a result, the Rocket R produces an incredible 900hp and 1,000Nm! This power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, weighing in at 1,640kg.

The Rocket R is limited to just 25 units, and from new, it costs an eye-watering £400,000!

Alongside it, we have the 900 Superblack GLS and the 900 Superblack G63. Both cars usually come with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, but these engines have now been uprated to 4.5-litre, and have both had two new turbos added. As a result, these cars now produce 900hp and 1,250Nm (although the torque has been limited to 1,050Nm).

The G63 weighs in at 2,700kg, while the GLS weighs 2,800kg. And while the G63 costs £360,000, the GLS ‘only’ costs £330,000.

So the winner of this race may be a foregone conclusion, but how will the two Superblacks compare? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

    As soon as I saw brabus v brabus v brabus I was like I gotta watch this asap😂
  • Hang on! The normal 911 Turbo S did the quarter mile time in 10.1 seconds with 650bhp and 800nm torque, yet the Brabus with 250bhp more 0.1 second quicker? That doesn't add up. The Brabus by performance comparison should be in the sub 9 second bracket quarter mile. Similar to a Ferrari SF90. Now can we have a test comparing Brabus with their normal counterparts and their competitors to get a true feel of the performance that Brabus offers

    Ah yes - a sleek lighweight sports car vs a heavy SUV vs a crazy powerful garden shed on wheels - I wonder indeed which will win the drag race! Joking aside, a good old crazy drag race from CarWow is a perfect start to a weekend 😃
  • @HAS-7000
    Was expecting the Porsche to get the win in high 9s seeing as the stock version can do the 1/4 mi in low 10s
  • @B0rn2dr3am
    So extra 250HP got 911 just 0.2 s time. That just shows how Porsche did excellent job with its base model.
