The Brabus 900 Rocket R is the most extreme Porsche the Bottrop tuner has ever built — a 900 hp interpretation of the Porsche 911 Turbo S, wrapped in a full WIDESTAR carbon body and limited to just 25 examples worldwide. It is, by Brabus standards, the definitive statement on what a 992-generation 911 can become.
What Is the Brabus 900 Rocket R?
Brabus made its name on Mercedes-Benz, but the 900 Rocket R is its halo project on a Porsche platform. Based on the 992-generation Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe, it pairs a heavily reworked twin-turbo flat-six with a bespoke wide-body kit and a complete Masterpiece interior. The “1 of 25” designation makes it one of the rarest cars Brabus has ever offered, sitting at the very top of the brand’s Rocket lineage.
Where most tuned 911s settle for a power bump and a set of wheels, the Rocket R is a ground-up transformation: carbon fenders, Kevlar wheel-arch liners, an Inconel exhaust and a 900 hp output that elevates the car into hypercar performance territory.
Engine: 900 HP From a Twin-Turbo Flat-Six
At the heart of the Rocket R is the 3.8-litre flat-six from the 911 Turbo S, fitted with twin Brabus high-performance turbochargers. The result is 662 kW (900 hp) and 1,000 Nm of torque at 5,100 rpm — a substantial jump over the 650 hp of the donor car. Power runs through the eight-speed dual-clutch (PDK) transmission and Porsche’s electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system.
A Brabus high-performance sports exhaust made from high-grade Inconel sits at the back, with electronically controlled valves that let the driver switch the soundscape between a discreet “Coming Home” setting and a full “Sport” position from the cockpit.

WIDESTAR Carbon Body and Aerodynamics
The Rocket R wears a tailor-made Brabus WIDESTAR body made entirely from high-grade carbon fiber. It widens the 911 to 1,968 mm and adds a carbon front fascia with an actively controlled lip spoiler, carbon front fenders, Kevlar-lined wheel arches with dedicated air vents, carbon rocker panels and a WIDESTAR rear fascia with an integrated carbon diffuser. A carbon rear spoiler and shadow-chrome accents complete the look.
Every aero element is developed in the wind tunnel for next-level efficiency, with the actively controlled front lip and rear spoiler balancing downforce front to rear at speed.
The Rolling Stock: Monoblock P Forged Wheels
The Rocket R rides on Brabus Monoblock P “Platinum Edition” forged wheels in a unique five-spoke design, finished with Brabus Rocket-typical carbon-fiber aero discs — 9.5J x 21 at the front and a vast 12J x 22 at the rear. These are not just for show: the forged construction saves unsprung weight while the staggered fitment maximises traction for the all-wheel-drive 900 hp powertrain.
For collectors who want to bring a piece of that engineering home, tiqoss.com crafts wall clocks from real forged car wheels — the same kind of hardware that defines cars like the Rocket R.
Interior: Brabus Masterpiece Craftsmanship
Inside, the Rocket R receives a complete Brabus Masterpiece treatment. The cabin is trimmed in “Mondial Black” leather with black stitching and piping, a special “Ellipse” quilting pattern and a black Alcantara headliner. Surfaces from the seats to the door panels, foot wells and dashboard elements are leather-wrapped, with high-gloss carbon-fiber detailing in the center console.
Brabus adds anodized-aluminium pedal pads, carbon door-sill trims with an integrated LED-backlit Brabus logo that changes color in sync with the ambient lighting, and a “Shadow Chrome” finish on the air-vent surrounds, speaker grilles and switches. As with all Brabus Masterpieces, every detail can be configured to the buyer’s individual specification.
Brabus 900 Rocket R vs Brabus 820: Where It Sits
Brabus offers several Porsche-based builds, but the Rocket R is the flagship. The earlier Brabus 820 takes the 911 Turbo S to 820 hp with a milder exterior package and no strict production cap. The 900 Rocket R goes further on every axis — more power (900 hp vs 820 hp), the full WIDESTAR carbon widebody rather than a bolt-on aero kit, and the exclusivity of a 25-unit run. It is the most hardcore Porsche in the Brabus catalogue.
Price and Availability
Brabus does not publish a fixed list price for the Rocket R, as each car is built to order; market examples and dealer listings have placed it broadly in the €540,000–€700,000 range depending on specification — several times the cost of the donor 911 Turbo S. With production capped at 25 units worldwide, securing an allocation is the harder part. Every car is finished to the owner’s individual Masterpiece specification.
