Brabus Unleashes a 1,000 PS Mercedes-AMG GT with Earth-Spinning Torque

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance is already a beast, but Brabus decided it needed even more power—so they transformed it into the Brabus 1000, a monstrous machine with 986 hp (1,000 PS) and an almost unbelievable 1,342 lb-ft (1,820 Nm) of torque

The Brabus 1000: When 986 HP Just Wasn’t Enough

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance is already a fire-breathing monster, but Brabus looked at it and said, "Nah, let’s turn this up to eleven." The result? The Brabus 1000—a ludicrously overpowered beast cranking out 986 horsepower (1,000 PS) and a bone-crushing 1,342 lb-ft (1,820 Nm) of torque. In fact, the torque was so absurd that Brabus had to dial it back to 1,195 lb-ft (1,620 Nm)—because, you know, the transmission would’ve exploded otherwise.

A V8 That Defies Logic

To hit these numbers, Brabus didn’t just slap on bigger turbos—they went full mad scientist:

Stroked the 4.0L V8 to 4.5L
Billet-aluminum crankshaft & forged connecting rods (because stock parts are for cowards)
Custom stainless exhaust (so it sounds as violent as it accelerates)

Even though the GT 63 S is a hybrid (with a 201-hp electric motor), the Brabus-tuned V8 alone makes 785 hp and 922 lb-ft—enough to warp time and space.

Acceleration That Feels Like a Bugatti Prank

0–62 mph (100 km/h): 2.6 seconds (quicker than a McLaren Senna)
0–124 mph (200 km/h): 9.5 seconds (your stomach will hate you)
0–186 mph (300 km/h): 23.6 seconds (because why not?)
Top speed: 200 mph (320 km/h) (electronically limited—for legal reasons)

Looks That Could Kill

Brabus didn’t stop at power—they made sure it looks like a supervillain’s daily driver:

Carbon fiber front splitter, aggressive canards, meaner grille
Fixed rear wing & diffuser (because downforce = your new best friend)
21- and 22-inch forged wheels (because stock ones just wouldn’t cut it)
Lowered suspension (20 mm drop)—because stance matters

Inside? Black leather, carbon fiber everywhere, and red anodized trim—because subtlety is overrated.

The Price of Insanity

Want one? That’ll be €445,900 (~$515,000)—because when you’re the kind of person who thinks the AMG GT 63 S E Performance is too tame, money is just a number.

Final Verdict

The Brabus 1000 isn’t just a tuned Mercedes—it’s a 1,000-PS middle finger to physics. If you ever needed proof that too much is just enough, here it is.
