Meet the Brabus 1000 All Grey, an unapologetically loud and seriously fast reimagining of the Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance, sporting bigger muscles, lowered suspension, and heaps of well - grey. This car is classic Brabus, right down to the over-the-top power and unmistakable presence.
In recent years, Brabus has branched into everything from motorhomes to shooting brakes, but here, it’s back on familiar turf with a powerhouse S-Class. And let’s be clear, it’s both very powerful and very, very grey.
The transformation begins under the hood, where the original 4.0-litre V8 has been beefed up to 4.5 litres. The result? A monstrous 986 bhp (735 kW) and a colossal 1,620 Nm of torque. Despite the familiar 290 km/h top speed, the real talking point here is the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 3.1 seconds. This might be an S-Class, but it’s one that’ll leave sports cars in its dust.
Brabus hasn’t skimped on aerodynamics either. It’s fitted a slick new body kit designed to improve airflow and cooling, plus a set of 22-inch Monobloc wheels and titanium tailpipes with a sports exhaust that, let’s be honest, sounds as aggressive as the car looks. The ride height is also trimmed by 1.3 cm thanks to revised suspension, bringing it closer to the ground and enhancing that menacing stance. And in case you were wondering, yes, it’s extremely grey.
Inside, Brabus has gone all-in with the monochrome theme, with grey spilling over nearly every surface. Thankfully, carbon-fiber accents add some contrast across the center console, dashboard, door panels, and steering wheel. There are aluminum pedals and custom Brabus logos as well, adding to the exclusivity. However, the upholstery pattern might raise an eyebrow or two; it’s a bit reminiscent of a mid-century lounge, adding a quirky throwback vibe to an otherwise ultra-modern beast.
If you’re after a car that combines hypercar performance with the comfort of an S-Class and don’t mind a singular color palette - the Brabus 1000 All Grey is an unapologetic statement on four wheels. It’s fast, it’s brash, and in typical Brabus style, it makes zero apologies for either.
