Summary
- BRABUS unveils Rocket GTC Deep Red cabriolet with 1,000 hp hybrid V8
- Hits 62 mph in 2.6 seconds, top speed capped at 197 mph

BRABUS has unveiled the Rocket GTC Deep Red, a 1,000 hp open-top hyper GT that fuses extreme performance with handcrafted luxury. Built entirely from red exposed-structure carbon fiber, the roadster embodies the brand’s “1-Second-Wow” philosophy with bold design and advanced aerodynamics.
At its heart is the BRABUS Rocket 1000 hybrid powertrain, pairing a 4.5L twin-turbo V8 with a 204-hp electric motor for a combined 1,000 hp and 1,195 lb-ft of torque (electronically limited). Power is sent to all four wheels through a nine-speed transmission, enabling the car to sprint from 0–62 mph in 2.6 seconds, reach 124 mph in 9.5 seconds and hit 186 mph in 23.6 seconds before topping out at an electronically limited 197 mph.
The Deep Red theme continues inside, where a bespoke Masterpiece interior is finished in quilted red leather with carbon fiber accents, horology-inspired switchgear and illuminated BRABUS detailing. Aerodynamic upgrades, including a ducktail rear spoiler, diffuser and wide carbon arches, ensure stability at high speed, while forged Monoblock P wheels wrapped in Continental SportContact 7 tires complete the aggressive stance. With its mix of raw performance, luxury and rarity, the Rocket GTC Deep Red stands among the fastest open-top hybrids ever created, reaffirming BRABUS’ reputation for uncompromising engineering.
