Meet Brabus 900 Rocket Edition Mercedes AMG GLE 63 S – The ‘World Fastest SUV’

The Mercedes AMG GLE 63 S Coupe is already a pretty quick car when it leaves the factory, but the one displayed by Brabus is in a class of its own.

The Brabus 900 Rocket Edition, which is limited to only 25 copies, is billed as “the world’s fastest SUV.” And just looking at the specs reveals why: the twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine, whose displacement has been raised to 4.5 litres and features various additional modifications, is insane.

The tuner claims 900 ps (887 hp / 662 kW) at 6,200 rpm and 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft) of torque, which is electronically limited. It takes 3.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0 to 62 miles per hour), with a top speed of 330 kilometres per hour (205 miles per hour) if the car is driven on specified wheels and tires.

The stock GLE 63 S Coupe, by comparison, has 612 ps (603 horsepower / 450 kW) and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft), which can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.8 seconds, and peaks out at 280 km/h (174 mph). But, you could wonder, what about the Lamborghini Urus? The twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 engine in the Italian super SUV produces 650 ps (641 horsepower / 478 kW) and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft), propelling it to 100 kph in 3.6 seconds and up to 305 kph (190 mph).

The 24-inch wheels were fitted with aero discs and Vredestein tires. The GLE 63 S Coupe by Brabus, on the other hand, requires 23-inch alloys and Continental high-performance rubber to reach 330 km/h (205 mph).

Red trim can be found on many elements of the super SUV, including the dashboard, door cards, centre console, pedals, and seats, which are otherwise made of excellent leather woven together with red string.

Brabus hasn’t said anything regarding the price of the modified GLE 63 S Coupe yet, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for it.
