Brabus 911 Turbo S review: 0-60mph & Autobahn tested!
This is the almighty Brabus 720 911 Turbo S!
That’s right, whereas once Brabus was synonymous with working solely on Mercedes, it’s now venturing out to work with other manufacturers, leading to the creation of this incredible Porsche!
So let’s take a look at what you get over the standard 911 Turbo S. Starting with the design, there are a number of exterior tweaks over the standard 911 Turbo. Around the back, you’ll find a large carbon fibre wing, a carbon fibre rear diffuser, and 3D-printed exhaust tips! Up front, you’ll also find a new carbon fibre front splitter, and naturally, there’s Brabus badging across the car.
On the inside, you’ll find leather literally everywhere - including the floor mats and in the door bins! There’s also the option to add additional carbon fibre trim.
Brabus hasn’t just worked on the design, though. There’s a choice of two upgrades available for the engine - the 720 or the 820. The latter is the range-topper, where the power output on the 3.8-litre twin-turbo increased to 820hp and 950Nm of torque. It’ll hit 60mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 211mph!
In terms of price, well, it’ll cost you… the 720 costs £150,000 more than a regular 911 Turbo S, while the 820 costs £170,000 more! So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

One of the things that I love about the 992 Turbo S is how clean, simple and understated its design is. It has all the performance you need but stays under the radar and doesn't get unwanted attention. The Brabus, for me at least, is counterintuitive.

You can't possibly say what's "about right" since you don't have the numbers. Obviously, this is the first Brabus Porsche, hence there will be a shitload of development and legal costs, tests to run for road permissions etc. Especially in Germany. Even with those number you couldn't tell what's "about right", though, since you don't know their business plan and the other costs. This stuff is complex. You can't just add up the part costs and think that's the price.

@@dieterdohlen6386 Their business plan always has been targeting super riches mainly out in the middle east with their "limited and exclusive" marketing theme. While we may be way off on the metrics wise, I agree with Chris because these "upgrades" can't just be slapping on a few carbon fiber pieces and badging/upholstery replacements because it just simply doesn't justify the $170k price tag from consumer's perspective even with other minimalistic mechanical upgrades (wheels/exhaust/suspension, etc.). But again, like many other luxury "tuners", Brabus is only after the riches who doesn't give a F paying the money as long as they get to have that no one else has.

I Agree. Porsche ….911…the classic shape alone speaks to the legend that it is. This means the badging is subtle . The excessive brabus badging… borders on turning the car into a mobile advert for Brabus
