Did you know that they say that even the imperfect is beautiful? Well, I think it can be applied equally in rare and even useless automotive creations. Or at least that sensation generates in me the combination of concepts as opposite as that of an SUV with a kit capable of raising its power to 900 HP. This has led to what is known as Brabus 900 Superblackor what is the same, a Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 raised to its maximum exponent.
And although we already know that the German coach and eccentricities go hand in hand, boosting the GLS’s output to 900hp It has much merit. This is because for the occasion Brabus didn’t limit itself to modifying the control unit, but went much further by changing the size of the cylinders and increasing the displacement among other tricks.
The Brabus 900 is the useless but attractive SUV he created with 900 hp
Specifically, the diameter of the cylinders has grown by 8.3 centimetres, the displacement has risen to 4.4 liters and there are two turbos capable of blowing at 1.4 bar. All this increases the power up to 900 HP and 1,250 Nm of torquealthough it is electronically limited to 1,050 Nm more than enough.
With all this and after having adapted connecting rods and crankshaft, the GLS is able to dynamize from 0 to 100 in 3.6 seconds and to reach a maximum speed of 330 km/h or 310 km/h, a figure that will vary depending on the size of wheels and tires fitted to the monstrous Brabus 900 Superblack. And it is that it is no less, since the big man can carry wheels up to 24 inches.
And that brings us directly to the section that Brabus obviously wouldn’t have left out: the aesthetics. Thus, the GLS has become an even more surprising SUV if possible through a specific body kit in which we find a diet rich in carbon fiber, enlarged wheel arches, a suspension that can lower the ground clearance by 25 millimeters to give it not only a different aesthetic touch, but also improve its behavior and a quadruple exhaust outlet that promises an unparalleled soundtrack.
All this is accompanied by the wheels we have already talked about which can reach up to 24 inches and by a passenger compartment whose modification is directly proportional to the size of the customer’s wallet. However, Brabus has chosen, for the occasion, to show a more refined example in terms of configuration. using a black coating.
Does the Brabus 900 Superblack make sense then? From a logical and practical point of view no, nobody; from an irrational one who shouts loudly that he lives to several machines that break with everyday life and political correctness, of course.
