Current Porsche 911 Turbo S not doing it for you? Brabus launches a 900hp alternative.
- the unapologetically power-mad tuner of all things Mercedes - had decided to have a go at enhancing the Porsche 911 Turbo. Naturally, it considered the standard 650hp output a jumping-off point, and breathed on the 3.8-litre flat-six until it produced 820hp. Job done etc. Well, no - it turns out that 820hp was just another jumping-off point for what Brabus really loves to do, which is take something so far that it can legitimately attach the name ‘Rocket’ to it.
So it’s pretty quick. How has Brabus achieved this level of performance? Well, evidently its previous tinkering has led it down much the same path: much as before, the tuner has binned Porsche’s turbochargers and replaced them with a brace of larger VTG specials, running up to a maximum boost pressure of 1.9 bar. On top of that, it has added Brabus diverter valves with BoostXtra adapters which are said to ‘produce a clearly audible blow-off noise’ off throttle. You don’t say.
