In a remarkable fusion of luxury and performance, German tuning powerhouse BRABUS has unveiled two stunning hybrid supercars based on the iconic Bentley Continental GT models. After nearly 50 years of waiting, this collaboration brings forth the BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK Coupe and the BRABUS 900 Cabriolet. These vehicles are not just about looks; they redefine what it means to drive a Bentley with their formidable power and cutting-edge technology.
At the heart of these supercars lies the imposing modified 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, paired with Bentley’s innovative hybrid system. Together, they boast an incredible output of 900 horsepower (662 kW) and a staggering 1,100 Nm of torque. For the thrill-seekers, both vehicles accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. As for top speeds, the Coupe reaches an exhilarating 335 km/h, while the Cabriolet curls along at a respectable 285 km/h—proof that these vehicles can handle anything from city streets to open highways.
To achieve such impressive performance, BRABUS engineers elevated the standard combustion engine output from 441 kW to an astounding 522 kW at 6,100 rpm. This was made possible by the installation of two high-performance turbochargers and a custom carbon fiber airbox. The improvements don’t stop there: maximum torque was upgraded to 900 Nm, delivering an impressive punch available between 2,500 and 5,000 rpm. The partnership with Bentley’s standard 140 kW electric motor ensures the hybrid drivetrain performs at its peak while adhering to the highest standards of efficiency.
Beyond mechanics, BRABUS has also lavished attention on the exterior design of these vehicles. The cars feature extensive carbon fiber body components, including a reimagined front fascia crafted to optimize airflow to key mechanical systems, such as the radiators and brakes. Exposed carbon spoilers and a distinctive rear carbon diffuser add to the aggressive aesthetic, culminating in a double-barreled titanium tailpipe exhaust system that produces a spine-tingling soundtrack.
The visual appeal extends to the cars’ wheels as well. Both models are fitted with custom-designed Monoblock ZM Platinum Edition 22-inch forged wheels, shod with performance tires—275/35 ZR 22 at the front and 315/30 ZR 22 at the rear—ensuring maximum grip and stability at high speeds.
Step inside these exclusive models, and you’re greeted by a world of luxury. BRABUS offers a range of customization options featuring premium leathers and microfibers, allowing for infinite color combinations with various quilting patterns and perforations. The BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK boasts a sleek all-black leather interior, while the Cabriolet is adorned in luxurious Nocturne Brown leather. Each cabin features the brand’s iconic Shell design and Double B logos scattered across seats, floor sections, and luggage compartments, ensuring that luxury is truly in the details. Carbon fiber accents enhance the dashboard and center console, complemented by anodized aluminum pedals and illuminated entry panels that set the tone for elegance.
For those who appreciate a sportier ride without sacrificing comfort, BRABUS has implemented a lowering system that decreases the ride height by approximately 20 millimeters. This adjustment not only enhances handling but also improves stability at high velocities. Furthermore, carbon fiber components can be customized in either high gloss or matte finishes, allowing owners to express their personal style.
Pricing for these breathtaking supercars starts at €489,200 for the BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK Coupe and €538,800 for the Cabriolet, excluding the German VAT of 19 percent. Both models meet Euro 6d ISC FCM emissions standards, showcasing their commitment to environmentally conscious luxury without compromising performance. With a combined fuel economy rated at 10.6 liters per 100 km and CO2 emissions pegged at 241 grams per kilometer, they boast an electric-only driving range of up to 80 km in both city and combined settings.
With these impressive additions to its portfolio, BRABUS has broadened its horizons beyond its historical roots in Mercedes-Benz, now reaching for the iconic Bentley brand. Operating from its state-of-the-art headquarters in Bottrop, Germany, BRABUS not only designs astonishing vehicles but also maintains in-house upholstery facilities that ensure bespoke interior enhancements, furthering their commitment to personalized luxury. The launch of the BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK models solidifies the company’s reputation for blending performance with unparalleled luxury.
