Brabus has unleashed the Brabus 1000, taking the already ferocious Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance and elevating it to new heights. This hand-built, two-door masterpiece pairs brutal hybrid performance with the unmistakable Brabus aesthetic and, as the name suggests, delivers a staggering 1,000 hp.

At its core is a 4.5-litre twin-turbo V8, extensively re-engineered by Brabus to produce 796 hp and 1,250 Nm of torque on its own. Seamlessly integrated with the GT’s 204 hp rear-mounted electric motor, the hybrid powertrain delivers a total of 1,000 hp and a colossal 1,820 Nm of torque, which is electronically limited to 1,620 Nm. This setup catapults the 2+2-seater from 0–100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds, with 200 km/h arriving in 9.5 seconds. Top speed is electronically capped at 320 km/h, while a titanium and stainless-steel Brabus exhaust ensures the soundtrack matches the performance.

The exterior is a masterclass in functional aggression. A full suite of exposed carbon-fibre components — including a new front spoiler, canards, and a precisely sculpted rear diffuser — enhances high-speed stability and delivers Brabus’s signature visual drama. A towering rear wing, forged 21/22-inch Monoblock Z wheels, and ultra-wide Continental or Hankook tyres underline its race-bred intent, while adjustable Brabus sport springs lower the ride height by 20 mm for sharper handling and an improved stance.

Inside, the cabin immerses occupants in black leather, Dinamica microfibre, and Brabus’s signature “Shell” quilting. Illuminated entry sills, carbon-fibre inlays, and subtle heritage embossing underscore its exclusivity, with every detail, from the pedals to the headliner, hand-finished to perfection. Built to order, each Brabus 1000 is a bespoke fusion of extreme performance and tailored luxury.
