2026 Brabus Rocket GTS Deep Blue
By Lorenzo Bianchi July 4, 2025
The 2026 Brabus Rocket GTS Deep Blue turns heads with a menacing, low-slung carbon-fiber shooting brake body and aggressive stance.
-
Under that gleaming skin is a hybrid powerhouse: 1,000 hp (735 kW) and up to 1,820 Nm torque, sprinting to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds.

Brabus wraps performance in luxury—exposed carbon surfaces, forged center-lock wheels, and a finely detailed leather-and-Alcantara interior.
Design & Presence
This isn't a retrofit—it’s carbon fiber through and through. Exposed prepreg surfaces ripple with laser-cut precision. The front apron and ducktail rear spoiler aren’t merely accents—they’re wind-tunnel honed. Stance is aggressive: wide by design, low to the ground, with center-lock forged wheels pushing cantilevered arches out to the edge. It grabs attention without effort.
Power & Performance
On paper, it's a monster—and it feels like one. A hand-built 4.5‑liter twin-turbo V8 churns out 796 hp, paired with a 204 hp electric motor on the rear axle. Together, that’s a 1,000 hp hybrid beast. Torque peaks at a staggering 1,820 Nm, though electronics tame it to around 1,620 Nm to keep the drivetrain safe. Launch is blistering—2.6 seconds to 100 km/h, and a top speed of 317 km/h. That two-speed rear electric boost isn’t just tech brag—it’s head-turning acceleration that blends brutal with precision.
World-Class Wheels & Aero
The carbon aero blades on the wheels? They channel heated air from brake ducts. Every rear wing, every diffuser element forks airflow with purpose. This isn’t flashy posturing. Subtle, targeted downforce—front and rear—delivers high-speed stability, not just visual drama.
Interior & Craftsmanship
Inside feels like a hyper-luxury bunker. Soft leathers, Alcantara headliner, and “Seashell Diamond” quilted stitching wrap around custom carbon trim. Brabus double‑B logos and pistachio-toned accents add panache. Even the footwell liners are laser-cut leather. It’s obviously built to rocket, but it’s also built to be savored—up to nine individual pieces of trim, backlit entry sills, and analog integration into performance.
Rivals & Context
This isn’t for the supercar showroom opener. It’s a niche lordling, comfortably more extreme than AMG GT or Porsche 911 Turbo S but more niche than hyperlimited, one-off hypercars. It trades badge-recognition for crafted exclusivity and hybrid torque that punches well above that carbon-fatigued shooting-brake body.
