THE AMG GLE 63 S COUPE BECOMES BRABUS' LATEST ADDITION TO THE ROCKET 900 EDITION LINE-UP.

-
The German tuner Brabus has once again served us with the latest addition to their Rocket 900 line-up with the all-new Brabus Rocket 900 Edition based on the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupe. This new Rocket 900 Edition also holds the record for the world's fastest SUV and thanks to Brabus for that, a lot was done in making this fire breathing family hauler the fastest SUV. Instead of the 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 the car now has a 4.5L Brabus Twin-Turbo V8 engine with a total power output of 900 hp. The engine also features special high performance turbochargers. This new Rocket 900 also puts out an insane amount of torque at 1,250 Nm which is transmitted via a 9-speed automatic gearbox but to preserve that gearbox, the torque output is electronically limited to just 1,050 Nm of which is still a lot.
The internals of the enhine were reworked to achieve those insane amounts of power. A lot of things were fitted, i.e, special crankshaft, new forged pistons with 84mm bore, 2 special Brabus turbochargers with larger compressor unit, 2 high pressure fuel pumps and many other things were done to the engine. A valve controller Brabus stainless steel high performance exhaust system was fitted, of which has active sound management which allows the driver to switch in between the ear deafening Sport mode and a more quiet subtle "Coming Home" mode as Brabus calls it.
On the exterior, Brbaus also made a lot of changes. The Rocket 900 Edition features a lot of carbon fibre bits all round, a special Brbaus RamAir grille was fitted, special Brabus wheels were also fitted of which helped in achieving the 330km/h top speed.
For the interior, the German tuner also made a statement, a few changes were made to the interior. There is red accents throughout the interior, the seats are covered in Brabus fine leather slate gray, the dashboard in Alcantara all together with the headliner and other bits.
PERFORMANCE SPECS SUMMARY; -4.5L Twin-Turbo V8 -662kW/900 horsepower -1,250 Nm of torque, electronically limited to 1,050 Nm -Acceleration from 00-100km/h in 3.2 seconds -330km/h Top speed Photos from Brabus.

Welcome the new CLE Coupe & Cabriolet model from Mercedes. Mercedes-Benz has finally been unveiled the long awaited CLE Coupe for the 2024 model year and it arrives in style with a load of technology, as one would have expected. The new luxury Coupe bridges the gap left by the, now discontinued, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and E-Class Coupes and Cabriolets from their previous generations, i.e. the W205 and W213 generations. That can also give you an idea of the car's size but in numbers that is: -4.9m in length -1.8m in width -1.4m in height The CLE features a shark nose-like design evident by the forward leaning front section like most of the Mercedes cars of late. Looked at carefully, the front end design is very similar to that of the brand's CLA Coupe. On to the sides, the Coupe retains a design very similar to that of the W205 (C205) C-Class Coupe more especially on the c-pillars. At the rear, the design is a new one, the CLE Coupe features taillights similar to those found ...

  Citan vs Caddy? Which one? Will the new revised Citan shake the Caddy's sales? The Citan is based on the Renault Kangoo as one can see from just the overall profile of the Citan. The engines are also from the French auto maker but that's not new, Mercedes has been using Renault engines for quite a while now. Both vehicles are available in either passenger or cargo configurations. #MercedesBenz #Citan #Volkswagen #Caddy

 Hello readers, today we will take a look back at one of the rarest AMG tuned cars ever made, the elegant Mitsubishi Galant AMG.  Yes you read that right, AMG! Let us take you on a history lesson for a second shall we? You see, back in 1989 before AMG became a Mercedes only in-house tuner in 1999, Mitsubishi struck a deal with them to tune the Galant to make it better.  The Mitsubishi Galant AMG was produced from 1989 to 1991 in a very limited number. Only 500 units were made and they were only sold within the Japanese market. The German tuner reworked the internals of Mitsubishi's 4G63 engine to make more power, yes the engine was not built from scratch by AMG under the One Man, One Engine principle.  AMG also made a few touches to the Galant's exterior. The suspension was also reworked. Unlike the other AMG "touched" Mitsubishi, the Debonaire V 3000 Royal AMG, the Galant had a lot that was done to it. We shall talk about the Debonair on another day. With AMG's m...
