The BRABUS 900 DEEP BLUE is built in Bottrop based on the latest Mercedes-AMG G 63. Fitting the name of this special model, the bodywork was given a custom paint finish in “DEEP BLUE,” a color that was specifically developed for BRABUS and is inspired by the deep sea. The high-end respray also includes all chrome and plastic components on the body.

The looks of the supercar are characterized by the BRABUS WIDESTAR widebody version. It makes the latest G-Class model look even more massive while making the exclusive off-roader ten centimeters (4 in) wider than the base vehicle. In addition to the fender flares, this bodywork refit also comprises special fascias for the front and rear, which give this supercar a decidedly sporty appearance. Numerous exposed-carbon elements such as the hood cowl with power bulge and the radiator grille surround, the side air vents at the back of the flares and the exterior mirror housings round off the athletic outfit. Likewise made from carbon with sealed, glossy surface finish are the center sections of the front and rear fascia, which are reminiscent of an underride guard, and the rear wing. The BRABUS designers’ love of detail is even evident in the BRABUS 900 logos at the rear, which were adorned with carbon inlays.

The BRABUS WIDESTAR fender flares on the DEEP BLUE supercar create space for hi-tech wheels with a king-sized diameter of 24 inches. The forged BRABUS Monoblock Z “PLATINUM EDITION” ten-spoke rims were painted high-gloss black for this vehicle. Wheels of size 10Jx24 with 295/30 ZR 24 high-performance tires at the front make perfect use of the available space under the widened wheel arches. The rear axle is fitted with size 12Jx24 rims and 355/25 ZR 24 tires.

The BRABUS Ride Control aluminum coilover suspension was developed in cooperation with technology partner KW and is specifically tuned to these high-performance street tires. Its front-axle struts and rear-axle shock absorbers with integrated heat sinks are all milled from a solid piece. It allows lowering the ride height of the supercar by up to 45 millimeters (1.8 in) as desired. The damping can be set to markedly comfortable or sporty with the Dynamic Select switch in the cockpit.

High-performance engines that combine power, torque and durability at the highest level of perfection have been the trademark of all BRABUS supercars for more than four and a half decades. This is also true of the BRABUS 900 DEEP BLUE, whose number in the model designation comes from the BRABUS 900 ROCKET V8 twin-turbo increased-displacement engine. It produces an enormous 231 kW / 315 hp (310 bhp) more than the stock engine of the G 63.

The recipe for this is as simple as it is tried and proven: more displacement produces more power. To this end, the company’s hi-tech engine shop increases the cylinder volume of the eight-cylinder, four-valve engine from standard 3,982 cc to 4,407 cc (243 to 269 cu in). This is achieved by enlarging the cylinder bore to 84 millimeters (3.3 in), complemented by accordingly sized forged pistons. In addition, a precision-balanced, billet custom crankshaft in concert with likewise forged high-performance connecting rods lengthens the stroke to exactly 100 millimeters (3.9 in).

To realize the intended power increase, the turbocharging system was also extensively revised. Two special BRABUS turbochargers with larger compressor unit and special core assembly with reinforced axial bearing produce a peak boost pressure of 1.4 bar. Two custom BRABUS BoostXtra valves ensure a thrilling blow-off noise when the driver lifts off the gas.

The engine modifications also include larger downpipes with a diameter of 76 millimeters (3 in) and metal catalysts. As has been a hallmark feature of every BRABUS sports exhaust for the G-Class for decades, the BRABUS stainless high-performance exhaust system has two tailpipes exiting on each side of the vehicle in front of the rear wheels. To match the sporty look of this supercar, they are framed by a sporty exposed-carbon embellisher with integrated, red ROCKET Launch Ambience Light. The exclusive appearance is accompanied by a thrilling eight-cylinder sound thanks to active sound management. At the touch of a button on the center console, drivers can switch between a throaty V8 exhaust note in ‘Sport’ mode and a subtle whisper in ‘Coming Home’ mode.

Because a powerful engine such as this also needs more air to breathe, the intake system was modified extensively. Special high-pressure pumps were installed to ensure optimal fuel supply. The BRABUS engine cover made from red carbon adds the visual finishing touches to the V8.

In order to achieve outstanding performance, exemplary smooth-running, maximum durability, and emission figures that comply with the strict EURO VI+ emissions standards, the BRABUS power unit engineers and electronics specialists conducted extensive bench tests and test drives. BRABUS exclusively uses MOTUL high-performance lubricants for maximum operational reliability.

The tremendous amount of development work is reflected in the unrivalled performance data. Both the output of 662 kW / 900 hp (888 bhp) at a low 6,200 rpm and the massive torque of 1,250 Nm (922 lb-ft), already on tap at 2,900 rpm, represent top values in this vehicle category. In the vehicle, peak torque is limited electronically to 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft) in order to protect the drivetrain.

These figures enable the BRABUS 900 ROCKET EDITION to deliver the performance of a full-blooded sports car. From rest, the all-wheel-drive SUV weighing more than 2.5 metric tons catapults itself to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a mere 3.7 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 280 km/h (174 mph) to protect the tires.

The interior designers of the automotive refinement specialist created a particularly exclusive BRABUS MASTERPIECE interior for this supercar, of course. It features slate grey leather accentuated with blue BRABUS labels and a host of elements such as controls, air vents, speaker grilles and surrounds, which also feature blue glazing.

These exquisite interior appointments demonstrate the love of detail invested in the work of the BRABUS upholstery shop. A typical example of this is the precise, shell-shaped quilting of seat surfaces and parts of the door panels. In addition, these leather sections were perforated with pinpoint precision. The identical quilting pattern is also used for the floor mats and the trunk, which is likewise clad in the finest leather.

Carbon surrounds and handles with high-gloss, sealed finish in the cockpit emphasize the sporty character of the BRABUS 900 DEEP BLUE. Further exclusive BRABUS elements in the interior are the aluminum pedals and door lock pins with blue glazing, as well as the carbon scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo that changes colors in sync with the ambient lighting.

Special BRABUS door hinges facilitate getting in and out in the rear, because the doors open at a 90-degree angle and thus much wider than those of the production car.

The BRABUS 900 DEEP BLUE sells for 499,000 euros (export price in Germany excluding 19 percent VAT).

What would be a better fit for a 900 horsepower off-roader from BRABUS than an equally powerful sport boat in a class of its own, painted that same DEEP BLUE color and likewise bearing the label of the company from Bottrop?

Like the luxurious BRABUS supercars, the 38-foot (11 meters) BRABUS Shadow 900 Sun-Top DEEP BLUE Signature Edition super boat was developed with the greatest love of affectionately finished details and the absolute will to redefine waterborne high performance and thrilling design. To this end, BRABUS Marine cooperates with Finnish boat builder Axopar.

Two Mercury Marine 450R 4.6-liter V8 four-stroke outboard engines provide the eponymous 900 horsepower of the BRABUS Shadow 900 Sun-Top DEEP BLUE Signature Edition super boat. While it reaches speeds of more than 60 knots (111 km/h or 69 mph) with ease, this boat sets standards in terms of handling and drivability as well. This is also to the credit of the modern cockpit with fingertip control and touchscreen technology. The intelligent control module and the bow thruster ensure optimal maneuverability.

To provide deluxe comfort, there is a luxuriously furnished owner’s cabin in the bow. The boat also has a lot of space for social gatherings on board. The Sun-Top model is equipped with a sleek sunshade above the helm station. In addition, the exclusive Lounge Package offers virtually endless possibilities to relax, sunbathe or spend priceless time together with family, friends or guests.

All seats and sun pads were covered in the BRABUS upholstery shop with skin-friendly, water-repellent TechFX fabric quilted with pinpoint precision. The color “BRABUS Platinum” was chosen to provide contrast to the ultramarine paint finish. For maximum comfort and a secure hold, the helm station is equipped with comfortable seats with armrests. The seat backrest can be used in the forward-facing driving position or be turned around when the seats need to be used facing astern. The sun pad on the foredeck offers lots of space for tanning. In addition, the cockpit table can be converted into another sun pad with a cushion.

In addition to the two exclusive vehicles, the BRABUS DEEP BLUE STATEMENT Package includes a select timepiece from the cooperation of renowned Italian watchmaker Panerai with BRABUS. Like the supercar and the super boat, the Panerai Submersible S BRABUS Blue Shadow Edition watch likewise is the perfect companion for adventurers and enthusiasts.

Panerai develops and manufactures its chronometers in its manufactory in Neuchâtel and thereby represents the seamless fusion of the history and flair of Italian design with the Swiss art of watchmaking.
