Brabus’ latest take on the Mercedes-AMG GT has 1,000 PS and insane torque

The tuning gurus over at Brabus have tackled the AMG GT 63 S E Performance more than once, but this is the first time they ended up with a monster devouring supercars for breakfast.

The stock 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 was stroked out to 4.5 liters of displacement and outfitted with larger turbos. An aluminum crankshaft, forged connecting rods and a custom exhaust system also found their way into the build. When all was said and done, the car slammed the transmission with 1,000 PS (986 hp / 735 kW) and 1,820 Nm (1,342 lb-ft) of torque. Brabus actually had to clamp it at 1,620 Nm (1,195 lb-ft) for safety reasons.

The electric motor stayed as is. The tuner claims the car now accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.6 seconds, doubles that speed in 9.5 seconds and triples it in 23.6 seconds. It only hits its limit at 320 km/h (199 mph), and that’s electronically capped, too.

The full tuning package includes an optimized aero kit, 10-spoke staggered wheels (21” front, 22” rear) and a 20mm (0.8”) suspension lowering kit. The interior of the show car seen here mostly uses black leather with vivid red accents and carbon fiber details, but Brabus usually allows its clients extensive personalization.

If you want a Brabus 1000 for yourself, look around for a spare €445,900 at the minimum ($518,400).
