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. The existing 190-hp electric motor mounted at the rear axle remains unchanged.
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.
Visually, the Brabus 930 S receives the customary Brabus aesthetic enhancements, including carbon fibre elements and imposing 22-inch monoblock wheels. Inside, the cabin is adorned with luxurious quilted leather upholstery, with one variant showcasing light blue leather and microfibre trim, exemplifying luxury.
Brabus has also fine-tuned the suspension to lower the ride height in select drive modes and accommodate 265/35ZR22 front and 295/30ZR22 rear tyres. Despite its considerable weight of approximately 2599kg, including an electric motor and 6-kWh AMG battery enables the Brabus 930 to achieve impressive fuel efficiency, boasting a claimed 53.5 mpg.
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.
smart Malaysia recently made the formal announcement that reservations for the smart #1 were now available. It is available in the Malaysian market in three distinct models: Pro, Premium, and Brabus. These models are designed to cater to different preferences and needs of consumers in Malaysia.
The Brabus model stands out as the sporty variant within the lineup, showcasing distinctive design elements. These include an aero kit comprising a vented bonnet, an aggressive front bumper, and a rear spoiler.
It features 19-inch ‘Dynamo’ alloys, exclusive model badging, and eye-catching red brake callipers, further accentuating its sporty appeal and performance-focused design.
Step inside, and you’ll see that the centre infotainment screen, which is 12.8 inches in size regardless of version, controls practically everything. It has Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8155 processor, a CPU and chipset built for the gaming sector, and its home screen is loaded with visuals and information.
We recently saw Brabus turn the Maybach S680 into the most potent S-Class in the world and now a new project has been unveiled. The Brabus 600, a Range Rover turned into a five-door supercar.
Brabus’ redesign of the Range Rover begins on the exterior with a new front bumper that includes additional carbon fibre components and an apron that is intended to decrease lift at high speeds. It features a new diffuser and wing on the back, and for the wheels, they went with the Monoblock ZV set, which has 24-inch wheels. The new control module for the air suspension, which lowers the body by up to 20 mm, allows the 20-spoke alloy wheels to fit under the arches.
Whenever Brabus unveils a new creation, it’s like the automotive Gods saying “Here, something to brighten up your day,” and indeed, it looks and feels like something forged on the mountains of heaven.
Even the words that Brabus use emphasise this feeling. “This rolling symphony of avant-garde is its very own class of excellence, where unbound sophistication and confident strength come together in a breathtaking statement of individuality”.
Brabus really needs no introduction but if you have been living in a cave for the past three decades, the company is a high-performance automotive aftermarket tuning company known popularly for their collaboration with Mercedes-Benz.
However, recently, Brabus unveiled their take on a Porsche 911 Turbo S. Originally, the 911 Turbo S has a output of 640hp, a top speed of 330km/h and does 0-100km/h in 2.7 seconds. Its name, the 900 Rocket R, is both appropriate and a hint at the level of performance it offers.
The 3.8-liter flat-six engine that powers the Brabus 900 Rocket R has two custom-built, high-performance turbochargers. It can accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. This rocket accelerates from 0 to 200 km/h in about 7.2 seconds!
The Brabus 930 is the most potent supercar the aftermarket expert has ever produced. Given that it is based on the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance, which was introduced in Malaysia this year, this shouldn’t be all that surprising.
Exterior
The exterior has been improved by Brabus with its numerous matte or glossy carbon components that improve the car’s aerodynamics. The front end features a front spoiler, huge air intake caps, and a more breathable grille. The car’s Monoblock Z Platinum Edition 10-spoke wheels, which are 21 inches in the front and 22 inches in the back, are also installed by the tuner which are wrapped in Continental SportContact 7 rubber.
As fully electrified technologies evolve, it is more important than ever to consider what luxury should look like in the realm of next-generation transportation.
The solution? BRABUS for the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53. A masterwork of modern design that offers only the highest levels of comfort and aesthetics for the Mercedes Benz EQS.
BRABUS has always been known to create some of the most extreme versions of a Mercedes-Benz, and even though the EQS is fully electric, the BRABUS approach is no different – mega power and luxury are still the name of the game.
BRABUS is well known for enhancing the looks and performance of Mercedes-Benz models. Thus far, since it began business in 1977, it has doe impressive work with cars with combustion engines. But with the electric age round the corner, the company has also to prepare for the future and it has begun doing so.
Perhaps because its extensive experience is with combustion engines, it has not yet developed comprehensive expertise with electric powertrains so it is not focusing on that area yet. Instead, it is enhancing performance by further optimizing aerodynamic efficiency, which can also have a positive effect on performance.
BRABUS in fact has a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records related to aerodynamics. In 1985, it refined the bodywork of a W124 Mercedes-Benz sedan and brought its Cd down to 0.26. That was a world record at the time and is still a value achieved by only a few, far more modern cars today.
Its first effort in the 21st century is with the latest EQS from the Mercedes-EQ range. Already one of the most aerodynamic production cars in the world, BRABUS has been able to lower its Cd value (the measure of wind resistance) by 7.2%.
Confirmed in wind tunnel testing, the lower drag in turn reduces the driving resistance, which makes it possible to extend the range, which the more streamlined shape increases by 7% on average in the speed range between 100 and 140 km/h.
The refinement done on the EQS bodywork with components produced from carbonfibre (with exposed structure) give the sedan sporty looks that generate the ‘BRABUS 1-Second Wow Effect’. The bodywork components can have a glossy or matt sealed finish.
The BRABUS front spoiler gives the EQS an even more dynamic face. In addition, the carbonfibre lip reduces drag, and its raised outer edges also minimize front-axle lift by 100%. This naturally also improves the handling stability at high speeds.
The carbonfibre trim for the side air intakes in the front fascia also play a role in the more striking face and route the airflow even more purposefully to the radiators and front brakes. The designers also developed carbonfibre air deflection elements installed in front of the rear wheelarches. These add some sporty lines to the sides and positively influence the airflow.
The rear end is enhanced with a diffuser and a spoiler, both made from that same hi-tech composite material. It reduces aerodynamic lift at the rear by up to 40%.
The BRABUS Monoblock wheels have been tailor-made for the wheel wells of the EQS. They are available in numerous designs and diameters from 20 to 22 inches. With the Monoblock M wheels, there is a disc design that is aerodynamically favourable.
The BRABUS wheels not only benefit the looks but also enhance handling. This improvement can be further amplified with the plug-and-play BRABUS SportXtra module which is adapted to the air suspension. It lowers the ride height of the sedan on the front by 15 mm and on the rear axle by 29 mm. This ride-height lowering also plays an important role in the reduction of the drag coefficient.
As with its other models, BRABUS offers numerous refinement options for the interior of the EQS, enabling customers to personalize extensively. The range of options includes scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo, whose colours change in sync with the ambient lighting; BRABUS aluminium or carbonfibre pedals; high-quality floormats and a velour mat for the boot. The latter two sport the logo of the tuner and feature leather edging.
BRABUS is well known for taking Mercedes-Benz models and adding its own special engineering to boost performance, while keeping the cars road-legal. Now, for its 45th anniversary, the German company has come out with its first supercar with an in-house developed chassis and buggy-style design.
Called the 900 CRAWLER, it’s strictly an off-roader and cannot be registered for use on public roads. The 900 CRAWLER will be exclusive as only 15 units will be built for sale over the next 3 years. Each unit will be priced from 749,000 euros (about RM3.45 million) ex-factory, with the first 5 delivered this year. Another 5 will be available in 2023, followed by the remained in 2024.
While the 900 CRAWLER uses the Mercedes-Benz G-Class as a starting point, it is almost ‘naked’ as there are no body panels and the buggy-style body and roof are primarily designed to provide shade. The structure, which serves as a roll-cage, is made from high-strength exposed carbonfibre while the underbody panels are made of aluminium and a tough carbon/kevlar composite material.
Extra-wide front and rear wheel arches suitable for the king-sized tyres are integrated into the exposed-carbonfibre bodywork. The roof skin provides not only shade for the occupants but also features integrated air ducts and vents for the riders in the rear seats. Two powerful LED panels are integrated in the roof skin at the front to the left and right of the central air intake. In the dark, they help the main headlights to light up the terrain ahead.
Another special visual feature of the 900 CRAWLER is the bonnet. It has two air intakes at the front and also efficiently vents the air heated by the engine from the engine bay through outlets integrated at the sides.
The chassis is formed using a tubular frame made from high-strength steel, painted the distinctive red colour of the brand. Portal axles at the front and rear provide ground clearance of 530 mm and there are matching height-adjustable special struts with adjustable damping which provide up to 160 mm of spring travel. These give the 900 CRAWLER superior capability over extreme terrain.
The suspension layout raises the position of the engine, transmission, differentials and half-shafts, which requires engineering special wheel ends with integral portal gearbox to compensate for this height difference in driving the wheels. All special components required for this are milled from solid pieces of high-strength aluminium.
The huge off-road tyres also play a role in the tremendous ground. Sized 40 x 13.50 R 20, they are mounted on 9.5Jx20 BRABUS Monoblock HD PLATINUM EDITION forged wheels. To handle the enormous loads generated during off-road driving, the wheels are manufactured with an 8-hole bolt pattern to match the portal axles. A fifth, identical complete wheel is mounted as a spare at the rear.
To take the 900 CRAWLER over the toughest terrain is company’s most powerful powerplant. This is the ROCKET 900 V8 twin-turbo 4.5-litre engine with a peak output of 888 bhp and a peak torque of 1,250 Nm. The output is sent to the wheels through a 9-speed transmission and permanent all-wheel drive system. Though weighing 2,065 kgs, the 900 CRAWLER is claimed to be able to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds but for safety, especially with the off-road tyres, the maximum speed is electronically limited to 160 km/h.
Unlike most other BRABUS models which have luxurious premium and generously padded interiors, the interior of the 900 CRAWLER is more functionally oriented with a rugged theme. To provide contrast to the dominant carbon, the seat padding of the 4 racing seats are covered with bright red Silvertex fabric. Also used in the BRABUS Marine high-performance boats, this fabric is designed to be extremely resistant to dust and water as well as the effects of the sun.
In addition, the cockpit has been specially designed taking into consideration the needs of off-road travellers. It includes a modern intercom system for driver and passengers as well as a GPS-based off-road navigation system that is used by desert rally teams. The bracket for the GPS navigation system positioned in front of the co-driver sports that same colour. BRABUS optionally also supplies individually compiled map data for the area where the particular CRAWLER buyer operates the vehicle.
Like other BRABUS models, there are red anodized parts such as the pedals and the driver footrest as well as elements such as the switches with red glazing to match the red highlights.
