$70,000 will get you some paint on this Brabus Rocket GTS Deep Blue, the entire car costs so much more

The Brabus Rocket GTS Deep Blue is the kind of car that proves just how far luxury and performance can be pushed, as well as and how much it can cost.

At $1.18 million, this hyper-wagon commands serious money, with nearly $70,000 of that going to the bespoke Deep Blue paint alone.

But this isn’t just about looks; underneath that shimmering finish lies 1,000 horsepower and acceleration worthy of a hypercar.

As Brabus proves once again, subtle changes can come with extreme price tags, although it also comes with extreme performance to match.

The original Rocket GTS came in black

Originally introduced in late 2024 as the Rocket GTS Hyper Gran Turismo, the model is based on the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance.

Famed German tuning house Brabus made it faster, louder, and more dramatic, by transforming it into a fixed-roof, long-tail shooting brake with hatchback practicality and mind-bending performance.

Known for outrageous feats like transforming a Mercedes G-Wagen into a $1 million monster and turning a motorhome into a matte-black penthouse on wheels, the company wasn’t quite done.

Brabus decided to launch a new version, dubbed the Deep Blue.

So what’s the difference? In short, the Deep Blue is mechanically identical to the blacked-out original, adding a striking, ultra-premium blue finish and matching interior accents.

However, the color swap doesn’t come cheap, adding over $68,000 to the price tag.

This brings the total cost of the car from $1.112 million to a staggering $1.181 million.

The Rocket GTS Deep Blue needs to be electronically limited

Brabus is known for creating extremely powerful machines, and this is no different.

Under the hood, the 4.0-liter AMG V8 has been bored out to 4.4 liters, and paired with a rear-mounted electric motor.

The result is a total system output of 986 horsepower, and an eye-watering 1,342 lb-ft of torque.

To keep things from literally tearing apart, Brabus had to electronically limit torque to 1,195 lb-ft.

Power is sent to all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic, with manual paddle-shifting available.

The performance numbers are just as crazy as the spec sheet suggests: 0–62 mph in 2.6 seconds and a top speed of 197 mph (both are electronically limited).

YouTuber Mr. Benz even managed to give it a test drive, giving fans an early look at this blue-hued monster in action.
