Brabus has taken the wheel on the Bentley Continental GT, stuffing its 6.0-litre W12 with twin turbos breathing harder and software remapped to unleash 888bhp and 1848Nm of torque. That's a 188bhp and 500Nm hike over stock, enough to hurl the 2.3-tonne luxo-barge from 0-62mph in 3.1 seconds and top out beyond 217mph on the Autobahn. They call it the Brabus 900, a nod to the nine-figure Nm/tonne.
Under the hood, reinforced internals and a beefed-up exhaust with active valves keep the drama civil at low revs but roar like a superbike at full chat. Brabus slaps on 22-inch Monoblock Z wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero rubber, carbon-ceramic brakes behind blacked-out callipers, and a Recaro-sourced interior drowning in Alcantara and quilted leather. Subtle widebody flares and a teardrop rear spoiler add menace without ruining the Bentley's elegant lines.
Brabus builds it to order on donor Mulliner Speed models, starting north of £400,000 before options. For buyers who find the stock GT too polite, the 900 delivers supercar shove in a suit and tie. Expect sightings at Goodwood or Monaco. Brabus just raised the bar on what to expect from a GT.
