Brabus revives the 900 rocket on the new Mercedes-AMG G 63 with wild upgrades

By reviving its Rocket badge, the Brabus 900 Rocket Edition pushes the Mercedes-AMG G 63 to extremes few SUVs dare approach.

It takes an already formidable platform and reshapes it into something far closer to a supercar than a traditional off-roader.

This is a comprehensive rethink of what a high-performance G-Class can be.

As always with Brabus, excess is present, but it is applied with clear intent.

Blending performance with looks

Visually, the Brabus 900 Rocket Edition stands apart, thanks to a newly developed Widestar widebody conversion.

This broadens the Mercedes-AMG G 63’s stance, without losing its iconic silhouette.

Carbon fibre plays a major role, from the front spoiler with integrated side flaps, to the rear diffuser and roof-mounted wing.

These design elements are all meant to improve stability at speed.

Details such as exposed carbon trim around the side pipes, illuminated Rocket branding and signature red accents reinforce its identity without overwhelming the design.

The look is finished by 24-inch Brabus Monoblock forged wheels fitted with aero discs, adding both presence and functional aerodynamic benefits.

Power comes from a heavily reworked 4.5-litre twin-turbo V8 developed in-house by Brabus, an improvement over the Brabus 800.

The car produces 662 kW (900hp), and up to 1,250 Nm of torque.

It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.7 seconds, with top speed electronically capped at 174 mph.

This is one of the fastest G-Wagens in the world, just short of the custom model made in tribute to Lewis Hamilton.

A valve-controlled stainless-steel exhaust system allows drivers to switch between a subdued tone and a full V8 soundtrack, ensuring the performance matches the occasion.

One of the most exclusive takes on the Mercedes-AMG G 63

Inside, the bespoke Brabus Masterpiece interior balances luxury with motorsport-inspired detail.

Hand-stitched leather with crest-style quilting, carbon-fibre trim and Rocket Red accents define the cabin.

Meanwhile, every switch, vent and control receives a unique glazed finish.

In the rear, individual bucket seats replace the standard bench, offering heating, ventilation and memory functions.

As with all Brabus builds, buyers can tailor nearly every element to suit their taste, although any customization will cost you a tidy sum.

According to the company, this will be a special 1 of 25 edition, so it’s pretty exclusive.

If you want to add one to your garage, you better hurry.
