Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-2309 Mat’s flown over to Germany to get his hands on a very special car! For the first time, he’s got his hands on the Brabus Rocket GTS! It’s based on the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 e-Performance, and it’s one of the most impressive cars Brabus has ever produced! But what makes it so special? Let’s take a closer look… The exterior design is super special, and that’s because this is the first car where Brabus has re-engineered the exterior body! As a result, there are some similarities to the SL 63, but it largely looks like a completely different car. Up front, there’s a super aggressive bumper with huge air intakes, and an air intake in the centre of the bonnet. Along the side, there are 21” alloys at the front and 22” alloys at the rear, with both fitted with aero covers. Once we head towards the back, there are extended wheel arches, while at the back, there’s a ducktail spoiler, quad tailpipes, and a huge diffuser. It’s also worth noting that every single body panel on the car is made from carbon fibre, and there are only three exterior elements taken from the SL – the headlights, the tail lights, and the door handles! Everything else is bespoke for this car! On the inside, the overall layout of the cabin matches what you’ll find in the standard SL 63. That means it comes with the same infotainment screen layout and the same digital dial setup. However, once you look a bit closer, you’ll notice some subtle changes. Around almost every element, there’s bespoke trim and detailing – that means trim around the screen, the centre console, and even the door switches! There’s also leather throughout the entire cabin, along with a load of carbon fibre. Even the door mats are made from leather! It’s not just the exterior design that’s impressive. Once you look under the carbon fibre bonnet, you’ll find something really special. The Brabus team have also gone to town on the engine, which means the Rocket GTS is powered by a 4.5-litre twin-turbo V8, which, once combined with the electric motor, produces 1,000hp and an eye-watering 1,820Nm! That’s an increase of 184hp and 400Nm! There’s one catch, mind – the Rocket GTS has a price tag of £1,000,000!! So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself! Chapters
