BRABUS BUILT A MONSTER! My 200mph First Drive in New 900 Rocket R

This is the Brabus 900 Rocket R, a Porsche 911 Turbo S on steroids with the full expertise of Brabus thrown at it! Limited to only 25 cars, I'm in Bottrop, Germany, to bring you along for a first drive and experience, including an open stretch of Autobahn. They have built an absolute monster!
Having recently visited the home of Brabus for a full tour around the entire facility, and an opportunity to take in the work that goes into making their Masterpiece projects; full interiors, exterior parts, and engine upgrades, it's now time to return for a run on the road. What better then to drive, than the newly introduced, incredibly rare, and immensely powerful, 900 Rocket R!
With a background of transforming the very best Mercedes and AMG models, Brabus in recent years have expanded their portfolio including other brands, and in this case taking the 992 generation Porsche 911 Turbo S. The base model is an already immensely capable machine with 650hp, but the Rocket R brings even more exclusivity and luxury to the platform with a bump to 900hp, a full Brabus Masterpiece interior, and a unique exterior body package for striking visual appearance.
We'll kick start our visit to Bottrop with a tour of the car in the workshop where they are assembled, before getting out onto the road for a run on the de-restricted Germany Autobahn and ultimately onto the country lanes. It makes an absolute walk of storming up to 300km/h (almost 200mph) with an effortless nature that only a 911 Turbo derivative can match, yet manages to suit daily driving duties with aplomb.
Thanks for watching, Tim

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="670">11:10</a> "People here have incredible Lane Etiquette" Yes! We Germans do, this is why having parts of the Autobahn with no Speed Limits works as well as it does. I remember the first time i drove a Car in the USA (and everytime after that) it was an absolute Nightmare, everyone overtakes from any Lane at any Speed, it was crazy. Americans always tell me that's because getting a License in the USA is not even remotely difficult and anyone even inebriated could pass their License Test and that explains it all Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

Shmee, have you ever considering adding a brabus product to your collection? The endless customization and the extravagant design is quite from your alley. Plus they specialize of the brands that you like

I am not the greatest of fans BUT, the following observation is astounding: "The undramatic nature of incredible speed, not getting to the V Max. You're not doing 100% throttle but knowing what the car can do, what it is capable of, is what is interesting." Unscripted, no interruption, continuous narrative of observation and comparison, is quite something.

[@joshflorence1998]

​@@gaara4667 "The customer is always right in matters of taste" I guess... But really, in my opinion, they have never improved the look of a car, and I find their chopped carbon fiber very unappealing. Their aero-blade wheels do look cool, but their body kits are way over the top and 9 times out of 10, spoil the lines of the car. All of that being said, this is all my own taste and opinion. I prefer clean and understated body-kits, or none at all. If I owned a Rocket 900 R, like this, i'd definitely wrap it or paint it in a nice blue. I agree that the 'all black' thing they tend to do is too much.

[@user-xn3mi5li3u]

Most cars with above 200-250 hp are immensely overpowered for real-road use, even though they may be technological marvels. The performance is simply unusable unless you race it around a racetrack or disused airport - yes, we all drive on these on a daily basis! The available acceleration on modern super- & hyper-cars and many saloons, especially EV's, makes many drivers and almost all passengers feel physically ill and is unusable on real roads. I recall a real-world road-test that "Car" magazine did in the mid-80's (when roads were less congested than today) using a Porsche 911, Ferrari Dino, and a Peugeot 205 GTI with 105 hp - to drive as fast as possible from John-O-Groats to Lands End whilst ignoring speed limits etc. The time difference between the winning and slowest car over the ~ 850 miles was only a few minutes. In my experience the slowest-driven cars on real roads are very often these vastly overpowered vehicles - they are simply too wide, too low, too expensive, and their drivers are often too nervous to use even half the available performance (never-mind speed limits) - and spend most of the time virtually "shitting" themselves 🙂
