The latest marvel from BRABUS, a leader in high-end automotive customization, has arrived: the BRABUS ROCKET GTS, an unprecedented hyper gran turismo shooting brake. Part of the BRABUS Collection 2025, this exquisite vehicle combines the artistry of bespoke coachbuilding with advanced hybrid engineering, culminating in a limited-edition masterpiece designed for elite enthusiasts.
Groundbreaking Design and Engineering
In a significant first for BRABUS, the ROCKET GTS features an exposed-structure carbon body, crafted with precision to deliver both strength and lightness. Measuring an impressive 198.5 centimeters in width, this shooting brake commands attention with its bold proportions and aerodynamic enhancements. Every aspect of the ROCKET GTS’s body was fine-tuned in the wind tunnel to ensure optimal performance, with BRABUS engineers deploying state-of-the-art CAD and CFD technologies to harmonize style and aerodynamics.
The exterior, composed entirely of lightweight carbon fiber, demonstrates BRABUS’s dedication to aesthetics and technical excellence. High-gloss sealing gives each body component a mirror-smooth finish, showcasing the beauty of the exposed-structure carbon while enhancing the vehicle’s aerodynamic flow. At the front, a sophisticated fascia with integrated spoiler and large air intakes reduces lift at high speeds and channels air efficiently to critical components, including radiators and brakes. This meticulous design supports the BRABUS ROCKET GTS’s stability, even at its electronically limited top speed of 317 km/h (197 mph).
Unmatched Performance: A Hybrid Powertrain with 1,000 Horsepower
Powering the BRABUS ROCKET GTS is an innovative all-wheel-drive hybrid system that combines a custom-built BRABUS ROCKET 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine and an electric motor, delivering a formidable 735 kW (1,000 hp) and 1,820 Nm of torque. This powerful configuration propels the ROCKET GTS from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 2.6 seconds, with an exhilarating journey to 300 km/h reached in just 23.6 seconds.
The 4.5-liter V8 engine, meticulously crafted at the BRABUS engine workshop, delivers 796 hp on its own and seamlessly works with a 150 kW electric motor situated on the rear axle. This high-performance electric motor, paired with a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 6.1 kWh, provides additional power and contributes to a controlled yet thrilling acceleration experience. An electronically controlled nine-speed sports transmission optimally channels this power to all four wheels, supported by BRABUS’s exclusive technology partner MOTUL, which supplies high-tech lubricants that ensure peak performance.
Precision-Tuned Aerodynamics and Performance Wheels
The ROCKET GTS rides on custom-designed 21-inch and 22-inch BRABUS Monoblock P “PLATINUM EDITION” wheels. Crafted with precision forging and machining, these wheels strike a perfect balance between weight reduction and structural strength. High-performance tires from BRABUS’s partner, Continental, further enhance the ROCKET GTS’s grip and handling, offering a robust 335mm of traction on the rear wheels to harness its incredible power.
Aerodynamics play a central role in the BRABUS ROCKET GTS’s design. The distinctive rocker panels, aerodynamic aeroblades integrated into the wheels, and a rear diffuser with four titanium tailpipes contribute to optimal airflow, stability, and aesthetic appeal. Each component’s purpose is underscored by rigorous design considerations, from the cooling channels that maintain engine and brake temperatures to the rear spoiler that enhances downforce, ensuring the ROCKET GTS’s prowess at any speed.
The BRABUS MASTERPIECE Interior
Inside, the BRABUS ROCKET GTS is no less impressive. The interior, a BRABUS MASTERPIECE in every sense, offers a rich blend of luxury materials and cutting-edge design. The upholstery features the finest “Slate Gray” leather with Alcantara accents, extending from the seats to the dashboard, door panels, and steering wheel. The seats and floor mats showcase intricate shell-pattern quilting, while light-gray decorative seams highlight BRABUS’s dedication to detail.
The cabin is meticulously appointed with carbon fiber accents, including custom scuff plates, pedals, and trim elements, and each detail reflects the ROCKET GTS’s exclusive character. A unique “Shadow Gray” finish on air vents, speaker grilles, and switches adds to the vehicle’s ultra-luxurious ambiance. Owners of the ROCKET GTS can also customize interior elements to suit their tastes, from colors to materials, reinforcing BRABUS’s commitment to delivering a personalized experience.
Eco-Conscious High Performance
Despite its exceptional power, the ROCKET GTS meets the stringent EURO 6D ISC-FCM emissions standard, combining high performance with reduced environmental impact. The hybrid system’s fuel economy is rated at 12.9 l/100 km (18.2 mpg), with a combined power consumption of 12.1 kWh/100 km. The ROCKET GTS offers a limited electric range of 12 km (7.5 miles), allowing for short, emissions-free urban drives while maintaining its hybrid power for longer, more demanding journeys.
A Legacy of Excellence
The BRABUS ROCKET GTS stands as a testament to BRABUS’s expertise in high-end automotive engineering and design. Available at a starting price of 789,000 euros (excluding VAT), this limited-edition hyper GT is a vehicle of remarkable distinction, created for connoisseurs who value both performance and exclusivity. From its groundbreaking hybrid powertrain to its artfully crafted carbon body, the ROCKET GTS is a masterpiece that represents BRABUS’s legacy of luxury, performance, and attention to detail.
For those who seek an automotive experience like no other, the BRABUS ROCKET GTS delivers an unforgettable journey into the future of high-performance luxury.
