That is the label under which the world’s largest independent automotive refinement specialist now offers a new, luxurious high-performance SUV. The name says it all: Inside and out, it is the color black that rules. The forged BRABUS Monoblock Z "PLATINUM EDITION" 24-inch wheels likewise sport this same color. To match the black paint finish, ‘Shadow Grey’ glazing was applied to all trim pieces that are chromed on the base vehicle. Exposed-carbon elements add sporty highlights on the body and in the interior.

The heart of this all-wheel-drive supercar is the BRABUS ROCKET 900 V8 twin-turbo engine with a displacement increase to 4.5 liters and a high-performance turbocharging system. After the modification the eight-cylinder produces a peak output of 662 kW / 900 hp (888 bhp) and a peak torque of 1,250 Nm (922 lb-ft), which is limited to 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft) in the vehicle.

The supercar’s performance is on par with purebred sports cars: From rest, the BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK catapults itself to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.6 seconds. Depending on the selected tire/wheel combination, the top speed is electronically limited to 310 or 330 km/h (192 or 205 mph).
