The new BRABUS 800 CABRIO from the luxury manufactory in Bottrop captivates not only with its transformation into one of the world’s most exclusive cabriolets. Its combination of BRABUS WIDESTAR widebody and massive 24-inch BRABUS Monoblock ZM “PLATINUM EDITION” wheels also ensures the unmistakable BRABUS 1-Second-Wow Effect.

Exposed-structure carbon elements with high-gloss surface sealant, such as the WIDESTAR fascia with its large air intakes and integrated front spoiler, the radiator grille surround, the BRABUS power bulge for the hood, and the WIDESTAR fenders, lend the Masterpiece supercar a decidedly sporty face.

From the sides, the WIDESTAR fenders at the front and rear axles as well as the exposed-structure carbon mirror covers catch the eye. The LED entrance lights integrated into the fenders illuminate the running boards in the dark when a door handle is pulled or the Keyless-Go system is activated.

The extra-wide wheel wells provide space for the BRABUS “PLATINUM EDITION” rims, which are produced in a high-tech process using cutting-edge forging and CNC machining technologies. Their disc design in black with centerlock-look hub cover matches the vehicle paintwork. They are mounted on the front axle in size 10Jx24 and in size 12Jx24 at the rear.

These wheels carry Hankook Ventus S1 evo ZX high-performance tires of sizes 295/30 ZR 24 and 345/25 ZR 24. The Korean technology partner of BRABUS developed these tires specifically for the Masterpiece supercars from the Bottrop luxury brand. The BRABUS sports springs with threaded height adjustment are tuned to these high-performance street tires. They allow an infinitely adjustable ride-height lowering by between 20 and 40 millimeters (0.8 and 1.6 in) compared with a stock G 63.

The striking rear view is characterized by the open or closed folding roof. What is more: the thrilling overall appearance also includes the tailgate, which is custom-produced for the cabriolet. It opens to the left and features an exposed-structure carbon panel with recessed BRABUS logotype to indicate the origin of this supercar. The distinctive rear end is rounded off by the all-carbon-fiber BRABUS rear fascia. It perfectly flows into the WIDESTAR fenders at the left and right.

As has been a decades-long tradition for BRABUS supercars, both these vehicles are powered by a particularly powerful engine. The model designation BRABUS 800 CABRIO reveals that these open-top cars are powered by a four-liter, eight-cylinder twin-turbo engine with a peak power of 588 kW / 800 hp (789 bhp) at 6,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft), which is on tap constantly between 3,800 and 4,400 revs. The power is sent to all four wheels by a SPEEDSHIFT TCT nine-speed transmission whose gears are shifted either automatically or manually with the ergonomic BRABUS carbon paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

This BRABUS 800 high-performance powertrain, which is operated with MOTUL high-performance lubricants, shoots the cabriolet from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.0 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 240 km/h (150 mph).

THE BRABUS stainless sports exhaust system with actively controlled butterfly valves produces either a decidedly subtle or a thrilling exhaust note as desired by means of active sound management. The driver can choose between a throaty V-8 sound in “Sport” mode or a subtle whisper in “Coming Home“ mode at the touch of a button.

The BRABUS exhaust system is also a visual highlight. It features two side-exiting tailpipes on each side of the vehicle in front of the rear wheels. They are framed by an exposed-structure carbon surround, which integrates red lighting that is activated in sync with the entrance lights. The BRABUS BoostXtra system ensures that the turbocharged engine produces a clearly audible blow-off noise when the driver lifts off the gas.

The BRABUS Masterpiece interior for the BRABUS 800 CABRIO is also an exclusive custom design. To provide a contrast to the black metallic paintwork, the finest leather in a color combination of “Oxford Sand” and “Cairos Brown” was chosen to create interior appointments with sublime craftsmanship in the company upholstery shop.

To ensure that the passengers can fully enjoy the open-air ride even in cold temperatures, the head restraints are fitted with neck-level heating systems. They fan warm air around the head and neck of the occupants from behind.

The pinpoint precision of the finish of all leather work is evident in the precise BRABUS Shell-design quilting on the door panels and side paneling, on the footwell trim and on the leather floor mats. To ensure the function of the seat climate control, the inner sections of the seats in the identical design were perforated with the same pinpoint accuracy. The characteristic BRABUS “Double-B” is also embossed multiple times on these sections.

Scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo, exposed-structure carbon trim in the cockpit and on the steering wheel as well as exposed-structure carbon BRABUS pedal pads add sporty touches. The aluminum door-lock pins, anodized to match the color of the leather, represent further attractive details.

To facilitate getting into and out of the rear, the cabriolet is fitted with BRABUS “Easy Entry” hinges that allow opening the rear doors up to an angle of 90 degrees.
