NEW BRABUS ROCKET GTS VS BRABUS AMG GT VS AMG S63: DRAG RACE

EV Channels Review

This video pits a range of Brabus-tuned vehicles against each other in a series of drag races, rolling races, and brake tests. The lineup includes electric Smarts, a Maybach S650-based Brabus 850, and several Mercedes-AMG S63 and GT63 E-Performance based models, culminating in the Brabus Rocket GTS. The reviewer highlights the extreme power and torque figures of the Brabus models, particularly the 1000hp+ variants. Key takeaways include the instant torque and acceleration of the electric Smarts in initial races, the surprising performance of the heavier, ICE-powered Brabus 1000 models despite their weight, and the ultimate victory of the Brabus 1000 (based on the AMG GT63 E-Performance) in the standing quarter mile against the Brabus Rocket GTS. The reviewer notes the Brabus 1000's superior performance in drag races, attributing it to its platform and gearbox, while the Rocket GTS, despite its stunning looks and similar power, was slightly slower. The video also touches on the unique challenges of launching electric cars and the distinct power delivery characteristics of ICE vs. electric powertrains at different speeds.
