BRABUS

Jenama automotif berprestasi tinggi dari Jerman, Brabus, secara rasmi melancarkan model ikonik terbaharunya, Brabus 900 Rocket R, di Malaysia bersempena pembukaan bilik pameran flagship baharunya di Hamawangsa Automall, Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI).

Pelancaran ini menandakan detik penting dalam perkembangan Brabus Malaysia, apabila jenama tersebut memperkenalkan salah satu versi paling ekstrem yang pernah dihasilkan berdasarkan model Porsche 911 Turbo S — sebuah kereta yang sememangnya terkenal dengan keupayaan luar biasa.

Bagi mereka yang kurang mengenali Brabus, syarikat ini telah lama dikenali sebagai pakar talaan berprestasi tinggi terutamanya untuk kenderaan Mercedes-Benz. Namun begitu, pengenalan 900 Rocket R, yang membuat kemunculan pertamanya pada tahun 2023, menandakan peluasan skop Brabus ke dalam dunia Porsche — dan hasilnya cukup mengagumkan.

Jika Porsche 911 Turbo S standard menghasilkan 640hp dan memecut dari 0–100km/j dalam 2.7 saat dengan kelajuan tertinggi 330km/j, Brabus telah melangkaui sempadan prestasi tersebut. Brabus 900 Rocket R dikuasakan oleh enjin 3.8 liter flat-six yang dilengkapi dengan sepasang pengecas turbo prestasi tinggi khas, menghasilkan kuasa 900hp yang luar biasa. Ini membolehkan pecutan dari 0–100 km/j dicapai dalam hanya 2.5 saat, dan dari 0–200km/j dalam 7.2 saat.

Untuk memastikan pengendalian setanding dengan kuasa, model ini turut dilengkapi sistem suspensi sukan Brabus yang boleh dilaras sepenuhnya, termasuk penyerap hentakan dan spring jenis coilover khas. Sistem ini dibangunkan bagi memastikan kestabilan maksimum walaupun pada kelajuan tinggi.

Dari segi penampilan, 900 Rocket R tampil garang dengan rim Brabus Monoblock P “Edisi Platinum” bersaiz 22 inci di hadapan dan 21 inci di belakang, dipadankan dengan kit badan agresif Widestar. Kit ini dibina secara meluas menggunakan gentian karbon, termasuk spoiler hadapan baharu, lengkung roda berfungsi aerodinamik, dan peresap belakang rekaan khas — semuanya diuji dalam terowong angin bagi mencapai apa yang digambarkan oleh Brabus sebagai “aerodinamik tahap seterusnya”.

Ruang dalaman pula dirancang dengan teliti untuk memancarkan kemewahan berteknologi tinggi. Antara yang menarik ialah kemasan gentian karbon berkilat tinggi pada konsol tengah, pad pedal aluminium anodis Brabus, serta ambang pintu dengan logo LED Brabus yang berubah warna mengikut pencahayaan ambien, mencipta suasana kabin futuristik dan eksklusif.

Kehadiran Brabus 900 Rocket R di Malaysia membuka peluang kepada peminat automotif tempatan dan para kolektor untuk memiliki salah satu kereta berprestasi tinggi paling eksklusif dan radikal di dunia. Ia adalah pertembungan kejuruteraan Jerman yang tepat dengan semangat Brabus yang penuh berani dan tanpa kompromi.

High-performance automotive tuning house Brabus has officially brought its beast, the Brabus 900 Rocket R, to Malaysian shores, following the opening of its new flagship showroom at Hamawangsa Automall, TTDI. The unveiling marks a significant milestone for Brabus Malaysia, as it introduces one of the most extreme interpretations of the Porsche 911 Turbo S ever seen.

For those unfamiliar, Brabus has long been synonymous with high-powered customisations, most notably for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. However, the 900 Rocket R, first introduced in 2023, represents the company’s journey into enhancing Porsche’s iconic 911 Turbo S — a car already known for its formidable performance.

While the stock 911 Turbo S delivers 640hp and achieves 0–100 km/h in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 330 km/h, Brabus has turned the dial up significantly. At the heart of the 900 Rocket R lies a 3.8-litre flat-six engine, equipped with two bespoke high-performance turbochargers, pushing total output to a staggering 900hp. The result is blistering acceleration — 0–100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds, and 0–200 km/h in a mere 7.2 seconds.

To ensure this power is matched by control, the Rocket R is fitted with a Brabus-developed sports suspension system, featuring fully adjustable Brabus coilover springs and shock absorbers, engineered to deliver razor-sharp handling at high speeds.

Visually, the 900 Rocket R makes a commanding impression with its 22-inch front and 21-inch rear Brabus Monoblock P “Platinum Edition” wheels, which complement the aggressive Widestar body kit. The full exterior package, built extensively from carbon fibre, includes a redesigned front lip spoiler, aerodynamically functional wheel arch vents, and a new rear diffuser. These components have all been subjected to wind tunnel testing, resulting in what Brabus describes as “next-level aerodynamic efficiency.”

Inside, details such as high-gloss carbon fibre trim on the centre console, anodised aluminium Brabus pedal pads, and carbon fibre door sills with colour-changing LED Brabus logos aligned to the ambient lighting give the cabin a futuristic and bespoke finish.

With the arrival of the Brabus 900 Rocket R in Malaysia, enthusiasts and collectors now have access to one of the most extreme and exclusive performance models on the market — a machine that blends German engineering precision with Brabus’s unmistakable flair for bold, unapologetic power.

Brabus, jenama Jerman yang terkenal di seluruh dunia dengan ciptaan automotif berprestasi tinggi, kini secara rasmi meluaskan perniagaannya ke sektor hartanah mewah dengan pelancaran projek paling berani dalam sejarah syarikat – Pulau Brabus. Majlis pelancaran eksklusif itu telah diadakan secara tertutup di Abu Dhabi, menandakan permulaan era baharu bagi Brabus yang berusia hampir lima dekad.

Terletak di kawasan eksklusif Al Seef, di Pantai Al Raha, Pulau Brabus meliputi keluasan kira-kira 100,000 meter persegi tanah berstatus utama di tepi pantai. Lokasinya yang strategik hanya beberapa minit dari Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Zayed dan pusat bandar Abu Dhabi, serta satu jam pemanduan dari Dubai, menjadikan pembangunan ini satu mercu tanda mewah baharu di Emiriah Arab Bersatu.

Pulau Brabus disifatkan sebagai manifestasi terbaharu dan paling berani bagi identiti jenama tersebut, dengan seni bina yang mencerminkan bahasa reka bentuk kenderaan Brabus. Peralihan daripada dunia automotif kepada hartanah kediaman mewah ini dianggap sebagai kesinambungan semula jadi kepada falsafah reka bentuk dan gaya hidup Brabus.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Brabus, Constantin Buschmann, menyifatkan pelancaran Pulau Brabus sebagai satu pencapaian penting dan langkah strategik yang selari dengan perkembangan syarikat. Menurutnya, jika sebelum ini Brabus mencipta kenderaan yang membangkitkan emosi dan memperkayakan gaya hidup pemiliknya, kini jenama itu mampu menawarkan keseluruhan gaya hidup secara holistik. Abu Dhabi, dengan reputasinya sebagai pusat kemewahan dan inovasi, menjadi lokasi ideal untuk pengembangan ini.

Walaupun beratnya kira-kira 2599kg, termasuk motor elektrik dan bateri AMG 6-kWh, Brabus 930 mencapai kecekapan bahan api yang mengagumkan, dengan dakwaan 53.5 mpg.

Walau bagaimanapun, prestasi dan kemewahan ini datang pada harga yang tinggi. Brabus 930 berharga €405,000 (RM2,074,949), mencerminkan prestasi dan ketukangannya yang tiada tandingannya.

Brabus, the renowned German tuner, has unveiled the 930 S, a powerhouse based on the new Mercedes-AMG S63 E-Performance, boasting a staggering 930hp.

With nearly 930hp packed into a luxurious sedan, the Brabus 930 S is a marvel of engineering. Accompanying this power is an astounding 1509Nm of torque. Brabus achieves this by enhancing the 4.0-litre AMG V-8 engine from 603 to 740hp by adding new turbochargers, exhaust system upgrades, and a corresponding tune.

Impressively, the Brabus 930 accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.2 seconds and reaches a limited top speed of 290km/h. Even more remarkable, Brabus provides a three-year or 99779km warranty for the drivetrain.

However, such power and exclusivity come at a price. The Brabus 930 commands a hefty €405,000 (RM2,074,949), reflecting the unparalleled performance and craftsmanship it offers.
