Looking Mean

The most obvious change over the standard Porsche 911 Turbo S is the fitment of a Brabus Widestar bodykit. The new aero pieces are all made from carbon-fibre. Their shape was fine-tuned in a wind tunnel technology. The kit makes the 911 Turbo S almost two metres wide.

The new additions include a front lip spoiler, Kevlar-clad wheel arches, a carbon fibre diffuser and rear spoiler. The latter items producing genuine downforce. Brabus Monoblock alloys measure 21-inches at the front and 22 on the rear axle. The alloys are fitted with distinct carbon-fibre aero discs.

Under The Hood

Brabus has given the Porsche’s 3,8-litre a good working over. The engine in the Brabus 900 Rocket R has two new VTG turbochargers of Brabus’ own design. They pump a maximum of 1,9 bars of boost into the flat-six. Other changes include a lightweight exhaust with less restrictive catalytic converters and an ECU remap. As a result, the engine now delivers maximum 662 kW (or 900 hp, hence the name) of power. Peak torque has been lifted to 1 000 N.m at 5 100 r/min.

Power is fed to all four wheels, as with the standard 911 Turbo S. A dual-clutch transmission sends power to the electronically controlled all-wheel drive system. The Brabus 900 Rocket R takes just 2,5 seconds from zero to 100 km/h and reaches 200 km/h in 7,2 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 340 km/h to protect the tyres.
