The BRABUS brand has been making the personal wishes of auto enthusiasts around the world come true since 1977. The BRABUS Collection 2025 fascinates with a new ultra-exclusive highlight: The BRABUS ROCKET GTS is built in a limited edition and represents a new jewel of the art of coachbuilding.

For the first time in its history, BRABUS produces the shooting brake body of the new supercar with a width of 198.5 centimeters entirely from especially light yet high-strength exposed-structure carbon. Under the wheel arches is space for 21-inch and 22-inch BRABUS Monoblock P “PLATINUM EDITION” wheels that carry high-performance tires up to 335 millimeters wide.

The 2+2-seater hyper gran turismo is equipped with a high-end hybrid drive with a system output of 735 kW / 1,000 hp and a peak torque of 1,820 Nm (1,342 lb-ft). This huge output is generated by the perfectly matched combination of a BRABUS ROCKET 1000 4.5-liter eight-cylinder, twin-turbo increased-displacement engine and an electric motor.

Thanks to the electronically controlled all-wheel drive, this high-performance combination catapults the BRABUS ROCKET GTS from rest to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds. The supercar hits the magic mark of 300 km/h after only 23.6 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 317 km/h.

The design of the BRABUS MASTERPIECE interior, for which the company upholstery shop processed the finest leather, Alcantara and carbon with consummate workmanship, is just as exclusive as that of the vehicle body.

Extravagant supercars have been the outright domain of the German luxury mobility brand ever since BRABUS was founded in 1977. In addition to a host of unique luxury products, it was above all the high-end coachbuilding division of the company that made worldwide headlines last year with custom-developed body designs with four or even six drive wheels.

In the BRABUS ROCKET GTS the German luxury manufactory has developed a spectacular hyper gran turismo shooting brake for the BRABUS Collection 2025 with a body produced entirely from exposed-structure carbon. The perfect marriage of form and function has been the specialty of the BRABUS designers for decades. They are renowned around the globe for a sophisticated and tasteful design idiom in line with aerodynamic and technical function. Every detail of the new BRABUS ROCKET supercar was developed using state-of-the-art CAD technologies and CFD modeling and then thoroughly optimized in the wind tunnel in order to offer the discriminating clientele of the luxury brand a totally new level of MASTERPIECE luxury.

Entirely in keeping with the BRABUS style, the whole vehicle body is made from especially light yet high-strength carbon. All components are produced in an autoclave using the prepreg process. This high-tech process benefits not only the strength but also the flawlessly smooth surface of all components. In order to achieve the desired cutting-edge look, all components are finished with a high-gloss sealer.

The aerodynamics play a crucial role for a vehicle as fast as the BRABUS ROCKET GTS. To this end, all bodywork components at the front and rear must be perfectly shaped and matched. The optimal balance of the aerodynamic downforce at the front and rear axle guarantees outstanding handling stability also at speeds north of 300 km/h (186 mph). Just as essential is the supply of cooling and combustion air to all power units by means of efficient air intakes and vents.

The BRABUS ROCKET front fascia creates perfect transitions to the wider front fenders. In addition, the integrated spoiler reduces front-axle lift at high speeds. The large air intakes route the airflow to the radiators and front brakes.

The exposed-structure carbon rocker panels transition into the BRABUS ROCKET quarter panels, whose dynamically curved wheel arches give the new BRABUS supercar its unique profile and make it 198.5 centimeters (78.1 in) wide.

This creates space for the BRABUS Monoblock P rims with five spokes and center-lock styling. They were custom-designed for this 2+2-seater and are produced using state-of-the-art forging and machining technology. These wheels fascinate with their perfect combination of lightweight construction and strength. In another hallmark BRABUS fusion of form and function, the exposed-structure carbon aeroblades integrated into the wheels amplify the unmistakable 1-Second-Wow effect of the hyper GT and use the rotation of the rims to extract the air heated by the brakes as efficiently as possible from the fender wells.

The wheel sizes are equally extraordinary as the design. Under the wide front fenders are rims of size 10.5Jx21 with 275/35 ZR 21 SportContact 7 high-performance tires from technology partner Continental. Rims of size 12Jx22 with 335/25 ZR 22 tires on the rear axle put the combined power of ICE and electric motor onto the road.

The rear end is formed by the BRABUS ROCKET fascia with integral exposed-structure carbon diffuser, which perfectly showcases the four titanium tailpipes of the BRABUS high-performance exhaust system. The tailpipes feature red lighting and are wrapped in exposed-structure carbon. But a striking look is not the only strong point of the diffuser: in concert with the combination of the BRABUS rear hatch spoiler and the ducktail spoiler integrated below the window, a union that was perfected in the wind tunnel, it plays a part in increasing rear downforce.

The high-end hybrid system with BRABUS eight-cylinder increased-displacement engine and electric drive together with the thrillingly styled body makes the BRABUS ROCKET GTS an absolute highlight in the long and successful supercar history of the luxury brand. Thanks to perfect synchronization, the two power units produce a combined system output of 735 kW / 1,000 hp (986 bhp). Even more breathtaking is the aggregated peak torque of 1,820 Nm (1,342 lb-ft). This figure is limited electronically in the vehicle to 1,620 Nm (1,195 lb-ft) to protect the drivetrain components of the shooting brake.

The part of the powerful internal combustion engine in this hybrid drive is assumed by the BRABUS ROCKET 1000 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, which is built in the high-tech engine shop of the German luxury manufactory. The new increased-displacement engine produces a peak output of 585 kW / 796 hp (785 bhp) and a peak torque of 1,250 Nm (922 lb-ft), which is limited to 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft) in the vehicle.

The power of the ICE is transmitted by a nine-speed sports transmission, which can be shifted automatically or manually with the carbon paddle shifters on the steering wheel. It sends the power optimally to all four wheels via an electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system. BRABUS trusts in technology partner MOTUL exclusively to supply the high-tech lubricants for the ICE and the drivetrain.

The rear axle integrates the electric drive unit with a permanently excited synchronous motor producing 150 kW / 204 hp (201 bhp), an automatically shifted two-speed gearbox and a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 6.1 kWh.

The perfect matching of these two drive systems was achieved in comprehensive series of tests on stationary test benches and all-wheel-drive rolling roads at the BRABUS Development Center in Bottrop and in extensive road tests on public roads and various racetracks. These enormous efforts not only served to optimize the performance, but also to meet the strict EURO 6D ISC-FCM emissions standard, which is binding for an EU type approval.

Its outstanding driving performance puts the new BRABUS ROCKET GTS squarely among the sportiest hybrid cars in the world. From rest, the new supercar sprints to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2.6 seconds and hits 200 km/h (124 mph) in just 9.5 seconds. Only 23.6 seconds pass between the start and the supercar breaking through the magic mark of 300 km/h (186 mph). The top speed is electronically limited to 317 km/h (197 mph).

Of course, the emotions were also at the very top of the performance specifications for the new hybrid supercar. The internal combustion engine exhales through a BRABUS high-performance exhaust system with special high-performance catalysts and particulate filters. This exhaust system optimizes the performance and features actively controlled butterfly valves to enable the driver to choose between a subtle “Coming Home” whisper and a markedly powerful and sporty V8 exhaust note.

A real supercar from the Bottrop luxury manufactory also includes an ultra-exclusive and perfectly finished BRABUS MASTERPIECE interior, of course. Owners of a ROCKET GTS can choose from a huge range of colors, materials and designs for this purpose.

Matching the exposed-structure carbon bodywork of the new supercar, the BRABUS master upholsterers used especially soft and durable “Slate Gray” leather to upholster the seat center sections, door panels, dashboard, steering wheel and center console. The headliner, the A- and C-pillars, parts of the instrument panel and the upper sections of the door panels were covered with Alcantara. The same material, deep black for this supercar, is also found on the side sections, backs and head restraints of the seats.

Prime examples of the hallmark BRABUS attention to detail are the light gray decorative seams and the quilting in BRABUS shell pattern design applied with pinpoint precision on the seat surfaces, parts of the door panels and the center console. This extravagant quilting also adorns the leather floor of the cockpit, luggage compartment, all floor mats and the trunk liner. The hallmark BRABUS “Double-B” is embossed repeatedly on the seat surfaces as well.

Like in every BRABUS supercar, a host of details perfectly integrated into the design of the interior of the new ROCKET GTS emphasizes the exclusive character of the vehicle. Matching the exposed-structure carbon bodywork, the crew is welcomed by carbon scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo. The same high-end composite material was used to produce the pedals, steering wheel rim, door handles and parts of the center console.

All trim in the cockpit plus the switches, air vents, speaker grilles and bezels feature matte BRABUS “Shadow Gray” glazing. ROCKET GTS logos on the passenger side of the dashboard, on the seat side sections and the front seat belts add further unmistakable highlights.

The BRABUS ROCKET GTS is built to order in a limited edition according to the future owner’s personal wishes.
