Brabus 1000: A High-Performance Upgrade for the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance
The Brabus 1000, a modified version of the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance, is now available for purchase through Brabus dealers. Each unit is custom built to order, with significant lead times due to the extensive modifications involved.
Priced at approximately €445,900 excluding VAT (around $515,000), the Brabus 1000 transforms the AMG GT 63 S E Performance from its factory output of 600 kW (816 hp) and 1,420 Nm to a monstrous 1,000 hp and 1,820 Nm.
The powertrain upgrade includes a custom crankshaft, forged connecting rods, fitted new pistons for a larger bore, and upgraded turbochargers. The Brabus 1000's transmission is a 9-speed MCT automatic, ensuring smooth shifts. The exhaust system features active valve control, allowing drivers to choose between a civilized whisper and a full-throated V8 roar.
The Brabus 1000's interior is as impressive as its performance. It is covered in black leather with a "Shell" quilting pattern, carbon fiber trim, and red accents ("Rocket Red"). The interior also includes illuminated door sills, custom floor mats, and a quilted trunk liner. A special touch is the "Heritage" embossing featuring "77" - Brabus's founding year.
The Brabus 1000 retains all of Mercedes' driver assistance systems and hybrid functionality, making it not only a high-performance car but also a comfortable and efficient daily driver.
The exterior of the Brabus 1000 is equally impressive. It features a carbon fiber aero package for functional downforce, KW sport springs that drop the ride height by 20mm, and Brabus Monoblock Z wheels of sizes 21×10.5 inches (front) and 22×12 inches (rear).
The Brabus 1000 can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 2.6 seconds and from 0 to 124 mph in 9.5 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 199 mph, and it can reach 186 mph in 23.6 seconds. Despite the performance enhancements, the Brabus 1000 maintains Euro emissions compliance.
