In a world where the Porsche 911 Turbo S reigns as a king of acceleration, there exists a realm known only to the daring—Brabus. The German tuning maestro has transformed the already potent 911 Turbo S into a 900-horsepower beast aptly named the Rocket R. As Halloween approaches, this limited-edition masterpiece is set to haunt the autobahn with its audacious design and spine-tingling performance.

Widestar Wow Factor

At first glance, the Brabus 900 Rocket R stands apart with its outlandish Widestar body kit. While press shots may convey a touch of brashness, in person, it’s jaw-dropping. Forged Monoblock P wheels, shod with 255 front and 335-section rear tires, fill the widened arches. Leaf-hungry exposed radiators, sculpted intakes, and a gold-finished carbon Kevlar lining add intricate details. The body kit not only amplifies aesthetics but generates more downforce than the standard Turbo S, with adjustable in-house coilovers ensuring an ultra-low ride height.

Engine Roars to Life

The heart of the Rocket R remains the 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six, meticulously overhauled by Brabus’s engine experts. Larger VTG turbos boost the pressure to 1.9 bar, coupled with an Inconel exhaust and remap, cranking the power up to an astonishing 900 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Engaging the BoostXtra diverter valves produces an audible blow-off noise, a symphony of whooshes and whistles that punctuates the Rocket R’s presence.

Halloween Havoc Unleashed

Switching from Comfort to Sport, and then to Sport+, unleashes the Rocket R’s full fury. As the needle soars beyond 5,000rpm, a surge of performance unlocks, propelling the Rocket R into a league of its own. The autobahn becomes a playground, and the Rocket R, now a force of nature, catapults forward. The cabin reverberates with the spooling turbos and an adrenaline-inducing blow-off noise, creating an experience that defies the ordinary.

Widely Impractical, Unapologetically Excessive

The Rocket R, while visually striking, sacrifices some ride refinement for its sinister appearance. The suspension is firm, and the roar of the Rocket R on the autobahn occasionally tugs at the wheel, adding a touch of unpredictability. Yet, it handles the duality of being wild and surprisingly docile when needed, a testament to Brabus’s engineering finesse.

Exclusivity and Extravagance

For those seeking more than the Turbo S can offer, the Rocket R delivers excess—more speed, more carbon, more leather-clad luxury. Priced at €549,130 (£475,126), it’s a limited edition, ensuring exclusivity for those who crave a Halloween treat that goes beyond the ordinary. The Brabus 900 Rocket R is a symphony of power, design, and audacity, ready to unleash Halloween havoc on the streets, leaving an indelible mark on the autobahn and the hearts of automotive enthusiasts worldwide.
