Three core BRABUS disciplines come together in one extraordinary supercar: 
advanced coachbuilding, high-performance engineering and exclusive design 
inside and out. With the new BRABUS 900 ROCKET EDITION CABRIO, the 
German luxury brand expands its ROCKET portfolio with an exclusive open-top 
Masterpiece based on the Mercedes-AMG G 63, making its world premiere at 
the Monaco Yacht Show 2026. Production is limited to 10 units worldwide.
The open-top four-door body with its electrically operated soft top was 
engineered by the BRABUS development team using state-of-the-art CAD and 
simulation technology. More than 500 newly developed components, 
manufactured to OEM-quality standards, form the basis of the sophisticated 
two-piece roof system, while extensive structural engineering ensures a level 
of rigidity equal to that of the fixed-roof vehicle.
Beyond its special two-tone paint finish combining matte and high-gloss black, 
the BRABUS ROCKET EDITION widebody design gives the supercar its 
unmistakable appearance with striking exposed-carbon elements. Tailor-made 
for the widened fenders, 24-inch BRABUS PLATINUM EDITION forged wheels 
feature an evolved interpretation of the legendary Monoblock II three-spoke 
design, complemented by exposed-carbon aeroblades. High-performance road 
tires measuring up to 345/25 ZR 24 on the rear axle complete the setup.
True to the ROCKET philosophy, the new Masterpiece supercar is powered by 
the BRABUS ROCKET 900 V8 engine. With its displacement increased to 4.5 
liters and a sophisticated high-performance BRABUS turbocharging system, it 
produces 662 kW / 900 hp and 1,250 Nm (922 lb-ft) of torque. The BRABUS 900 
ROCKET EDITION CABRIO accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. 
Its top speed is electronically limited to 240 km/h (149 mph). 
The BRABUS Masterpiece interior offers exclusivity in its purest form. The 
cabin is finished in the companys in-house upholstery shop using the finest 
black leather and Alcantara, featuring precise quilting and striking red accents. 
Each BRABUS 900 ROCKET EDITION CABRIO will be individually 
manufactured in this limited series according to the wishes of its buyer. The 
vehicle shown here is listed at 890,740 euros (export price not including VAT in 
Germany).

Coachbuilding by BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, 46240 Bottrop, Germany, phone +49 (0) 2041 
777-0, www.brabus.com) is synonymous with exclusive supercar concepts such as the 
BRABUS BODO, available as a coupe or convertible, the BRABUS ROCKET GTS Hyper 
Gran Turismo Shooting Brake, and the four- and six-wheel BRABUS XL and XLP pickup 
trucks. 

For decades, the BRABUS ROCKET models have embodied the brands most performance-
focused supercars, combining exceptional power and uncompromising dynamics with an 
unmistakably aggressive design language. The new BRABUS 900 ROCKET EDITION 
CABRIO continues this legacy as the first open-top ROCKET in company history and 
celebrates its world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026.

In 2025, BRABUS introduced its exclusive cabriolet concept for the current W 465-series 
Mercedes-AMG G 63, combining the iconic proportions of the G-Class with an all-new, 
coachbuilt open-top body concept. Throughout the development process, the BRABUS 
engineers, technicians and designers relied on state-of-the-art CAD and simulation software 
to achieve maximum structural rigidity on par with the fixed-roof model. The vehicle 
successfully completed the extensive testing and approval procedures conducted by 
Germanys TV technical inspection authority.

To retain the off-roaders characteristic silhouette, BRABUS developed a sophisticated two-
piece soft-top construction comprising more than 500 components manufactured to OEM-
quality standards. The soft top, which features a heated safety-glass rear window, opens or 
closes in just 20 seconds. An inverted 77 logo is woven into the high-quality fabric above 
the rear window as a reference to the companys founding year. Two contrasting dark 
signature stripes and BRABUS lettering are integrated into the upper surface of the roof. 

When closed, the soft top locks into the reinforced windshield frame at the front. A broad 
carbon-fiber roof bow integrated into the front section of the folding roof maintains its shape 
even at high speeds and makes a significant contribution to reducing interior noise. On either 
side of the vehicle, the front section of the soft top is additionally stabilized by the roof frame 
above the doors. Behind the rear doors, the C-BOW steel roll bar is integrated into the 
modified body and clad externally with exposed-carbon elements. It secures the rear section 
of the roof, which folds away behind the rear seats when opened. A tailor-made tonneau 
cover protects the folded soft top from dirt and debris. 

Alongside rapid and seamless roof operation, the BRABUS development team placed 
particular emphasis on acoustic insulation, long-term reliability and flawless weather sealing. 
Every detail of the soft-top system was engineered to provide a high level of comfort and 
protection in everyday use, whether open or closed. Following completion, every BRABUS 
900 ROCKET EDITION CABRIO undergoes more than ten hours of continuous water testing 
in a climate chamber to verify the integrity of the entire roof and sealing system. Each vehicle 
is delivered only after successfully passing this extensive testing procedure.

The new BRABUS supercar captivates not only with its elaborate transformation into a 
cabriolet. The BRABUS ROCKET EDITION widebody design adds an emphatically sporty 
character with select elements made from high-gloss-sealed exposed carbon. The front of 
the open-top supercar makes a bold visual statement with the BRABUS front fascia, its large 
air intakes and integrated front spoiler. Equally distinctive is the illuminated exposed-carbon 
radiator grille surround, which dramatically showcases the two red signature stripes and the 
illuminated BRABUS front emblem. Together, these elements give the BRABUS 900 
ROCKET EDITION CABRIO an unmistakable presence even after dark. 

The BRABUS Powerdome on the hood hints at the engine that makes this supercar one of 
the worlds most powerful off-road cabriolets. As the name of this exclusive Masterpiece 
supercar suggests, the SUV is powered by a BRABUS ROCKET 900 V8 twin-turbo 
increased-displacement engine. It produces 231 kW / 315 hp more than the standard G 63 
powerplant.

During construction at the companys in-house high-tech engine facility, the displacement of 
the twin-turbocharged V8 four-valve engine is increased from the standard 3,982 cm to 
4,407 cm. To achieve this, the cylinder bores are enlarged to a diameter of 84 millimeters 
(3.3 in) and fitted with matching forged pistons. In combination with high-performance 
connecting rods, a special billet crankshaft, precision-machined from solid material and finely 
balanced, increases the stroke to 100 millimeters (3.9 in). Equally crucial to the substantial 
increase in output is the modified turbocharging system beneath the red BRABUS exposed-
carbon engine cover. Two special turbochargers with larger compressor units and reinforced 
axial bearings generate a maximum boost pressure of 1.4 bar. Two BRABUS BoostXtra 
valves produce a distinctive blow-off sound during load changes.

The BRABUS ROCKET 900 increased-displacement engine is complemented by a precisely 
calibrated stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with 76-millimeter (3.0 in) 
downpipes, special particulate filters and metal catalytic converters. In addition to 
contributing to the engines immense power delivery, the exhaust system features actively 
controlled valves for selectable sound management. From the cockpit, the driver can choose 
between an especially powerful V8 soundtrack in Sport mode and a discreet whisper in 
Coming Home mode. On either side of the vehicle, two exhaust tips positioned ahead of the 
rear wheels are framed by exposed-carbon surrounds incorporating the ROCKET Launch 
Ambience Light.

Following extensive dynamometer testing and road trials, all high-performance components 
are precisely calibrated to work in perfect harmony. BRABUS engine engineers and 
electronics specialists developed dedicated mapping for injection, ignition and boost-
pressure control. The result combines optimum performance with impeccable durability. 
BRABUS recommends MOTUL high-performance lubricants for the entire powertrain. 

The extensive development effort results in outstanding performance figures. A peak output 
of 662 kW / 900 hp at just 6,200 rpm represents an exceptional figure in this vehicle 
category, as does the immense maximum torque of 1,250 Nm (922 lb-ft) at only 2,900 rpm. 
Inside the vehicle, torque is electronically limited to 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft). The BRABUS 900 
ROCKET EDITION CABRIO accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.7 seconds. To 
protect the tires, the top speed is electronically limited to 240 km/h (149 mph). 

For dynamic and safe handling on the road, the open-top BRABUS supercar is equipped with 
high-performance road tires. The widened BRABUS fenders create the necessary space for 
bespoke PLATINUM EDITION high-end wheels featuring an evolved interpretation of the 
legendary BRABUS Monoblock II three-spoke design first introduced in the late 1980s. The 
10Jx24 front wheels are fitted with 295/30 ZR 24 tires. At the rear, the wheels measure an 
imposing twelve inches in width and are fitted with 345/25 ZR 24 tires. Exposed-carbon 
aeroblades add a further technical dimension to the wheel design. Beyond their distinctive 
appearance, they help manage airflow around the rotating wheels and reduce turbulence in 
this aerodynamically sensitive area.

Specifically calibrated for the 24-inch wheel-and-tire combination, the BRABUS RideControl 
aluminum coilover suspension was developed by BRABUS suspension engineers in 
cooperation with technology partner KW. The front struts and rear shock absorbers with 
integrated cooling elements are precision-machined from solid material. The system allows 
the cabriolet to be lowered by up to 45 millimeters (1.8 in). The damping characteristics can 
be adjusted using the standard Drive Select control.

The supercars side profile is shaped by its king-size 24-inch wheels, wide fenders with 
exposed-carbon accents and integrated LED entry lights for the running boards. Additional 
exposed carbon-fiber elements behind the front and rear fender extensions, together with the 
side-mirror covers, reinforce the distinctly sporty character. The rear of the BRABUS 900 
ROCKET EDITION CABRIO is equally spectacular, whether the black BRABUS soft top is 
open or closed. An exposed-carbon trim element on the tailgate incorporates red-illuminated 
BRABUS lettering. The widebody rear fascia not only completes the supercars dramatic 
appearance but also integrates seamlessly with the extra-wide rear fenders on either side. 

The exclusive BRABUS Masterpiece interior is finished in a combination of black leather and 
Alcantara and impresses with meticulous craftsmanship down to the finest detail. Precise 
quilting in the BRABUS Shell pattern adorns the seats, door panels, leather-upholstered 
footwells and luggage compartment, as well as the leather floor mats. The center sections of 
all seats are perforated with equal precision to retain the seat-climate functions. Bright red 
decorative stitching and piping create vivid contrasts throughout the cockpit. Numerous 
interior components, from switches, speaker grilles and air vents to trim elements, handles 
and door-lock pins, are additionally finished in ROCKET RED. 

High-gloss-sealed carbon trim throughout the cockpit and pedal pads made from the same 
material emphasize the supercars performance-focused character. The stainless-steel entry 
panels feature an illuminated BRABUS logo whose color can change in sync with the 
ambient lighting. To improve access to the rear seats, the supercar is equipped with special 
BRABUS Easy Entry hinges that increase the rear-door opening angle to 90 degrees. 
Carbon-fiber paddle shifters with integrated LED rev indicators indicate engine-speed 
progression in real time, changing from green to yellow to red to signal the optimal shift point. 
In keeping with the vehicles performance potential, the supercar features a speedometer 
calibrated to 300 km/h. 

Each BRABUS 900 ROCKET EDITION CABRIO is delivered with a selection of bespoke 
accessories. The vehicle keys are trimmed in matching leather, while a leather BRABUS 
Weekender bag, likewise color-matched to individual interior configurations, provides the 
ideal companion for extended journeys and weekend escapes. 

A blockchain-based Digital Product Passport is integrated directly into a dedicated BRABUS 
Spec Plate in the luggage compartment. Developed in collaboration with the Aura Blockchain 
Consortium, the system provides verified documentation of authenticity, ownership and 
vehicle specifications  ensuring complete transparency and traceability for every BRABUS 
Masterpiece produced in Bottrop, Germany.
