Since 1977, BRABUS has specialized in transforming dreams into reality for auto enthusiasts worldwide. Known for redefining high-performance luxury, BRABUS has now reached new heights with the release of the BRABUS ROCKET GTS. Part of the BRABUS Collection 2025, this hyper gran turismo represents the first shooting brake in BRABUS history crafted entirely with an exposed-structure carbon body, exuding both beauty and unbridled power.

The BRABUS ROCKET GTS is engineered to provide an exhilarating experience with its hybrid powertrain. This powerhouse combines a 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with an electric motor on the rear axle, delivering a staggering 735 kW / 1,000 hp and 1,820 Nm of torque. With these figures, the GTS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds and reaches 300 km/h in just 23.6 seconds. Top speeds are capped at 317 km/h, ensuring control remains firmly within reach even at the extreme limits of performance.

BRABUS utilized advanced CAD and CFD modeling techniques alongside wind tunnel testing to refine the aerodynamics of the ROCKET GTS. The aerodynamic downforce is perfectly balanced across the front and rear axles, which enhances stability and handling, especially at speeds over 300 km/h. The front fascia transitions seamlessly into wider fenders, housing large air intakes that cool the brakes and radiators while minimizing front-axle lift at high speeds. The rear fascia includes a carbon diffuser that not only frames the four titanium tailpipes but also contributes to rear downforce with an integrated ducktail spoiler and rear hatch spoiler.

The BRABUS ROCKET GTS employs a high-end hybrid drive. The 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine alone produces 796 hp and is mated to a 150 kW (204 hp) electric motor on the rear axle, together delivering a combined 1,000 hp. This hybrid setup is fine-tuned to synchronize both the combustion and electric elements, with BRABUS limiting torque to 1,620 Nm to ensure durability. A two-speed transmission on the electric motor provides seamless gear shifts, and a 6.1 kWh lithium-ion battery rounds out the electric drive system.

Design: Carbon Fiber Precision

Design: Carbon Fiber Precision

For the first time in its storied history, BRABUS has created a supercar body entirely from high-strength, lightweight exposed-structure carbon fiber. This avant-garde material choice not only adds a cutting-edge aesthetic but also optimizes aerodynamics and weight distribution. The 198.5 cm (78.1 in) width of the body accommodates BRABUS's 21- and 22-inch Monoblock P “PLATINUM EDITION” wheels with high-performance tires up to 335 mm wide on the rear axle. This design pushes the ROCKET GTS's performance potential to the next level.

Exquisite Interior: BRABUS MASTERPIECE

The BRABUS ROCKET GTS’s cabin is a testament to luxury, customization, and artisanal craftsmanship. This BRABUS MASTERPIECE interior features premium “Slate Gray” leather, Alcantara elements, and carbon fiber trims to match the exterior styling. Light gray stitching and intricate BRABUS shell-pattern quilting adorn the seats, door panels, and center console, while the Double-B insignia, embossed throughout, reminds occupants of the vehicle’s pedigree.

Unique carbon scuff plates, a matte “Shadow Gray” finish on cockpit elements, and ROCKET GTS logos create an interior as compelling as the hypercar’s mechanical prowess. Every detail is customizable, allowing each ROCKET GTS to be as unique as its owner.
