Brabus is best known for tuning and upgrading luxurious SUVs and sedans from Mercedes-Benz but recently started working its magic on select Porsche models. Its latest Porsche creation is the brand’s most ambitious yet, taking the 911 Turbo S Coupe and turning it into a wild animal. It is dubbed the Brabus 900 Rocket R ‘1 of 25.’
The first task for the German tuner was to transform the exterior of the 911 Turbo S Coupe to make it look much more aggressive than it does off the showroom floor. The Widestar bodykit made from lightweight carbon fiber adds a host of new components that don’t just have a dramatic impact on the looks of the car but are also said to aid in aerodynamics.

At the front end, you’ll find a completely revised bumper with a pronounced splitter and enlarged intakes for the radiators. Brabus has also made new front wheel arches from a combination of carbon fiber and Kevlar. Not only do these arches look cool but they also help to funnel hot air out from the brakes. New rear quarter panels are also featured and come complete with air curtains just behind the doors. A distinctive rear bumper has also been engineered for the Rocket R, although it’s outdone by the aggressive ducktail spoiler that replaces the retractable unit of the standard car.
Rounding out the exterior changes made to the car are a set of 21-inch and 22-inch forged wheels with a five-spoke design complete with carbon fiber aero discs.
As with any good Brabus build, the tuner has also worked tirelessly to boost the performance of the Porsche. It has done this by ditching the standard turbochargers and replacing them with two of its own, meaning the car now pumps out 900 hp and can rocket to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 2.5 seconds. An exhaust made from lightweight Inconel rounds out the performance upgrades.
Inside, Brabus has applied soft touch black leather with special quilting, an Alcantara headliner, and a host of components with a Shadow Chrome glaze finish.
