Brabus Rocket GTC for Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe — Deep Red Edition

Brabus Rocket GTC for Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe — Deep Red Edition

The Brabus Rocket GTC Deep Red Edition represents one of the most extreme road-legal grand tourers ever produced. Built on the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe platform, this is not merely a tuning package — it is a complete vehicle reimagining that pushes the AMG GT into hypercar performance territory while maintaining daily usability. The Deep Red designation refers to the signature exterior colour: a rich, multi-layered burgundy metallic that gives the aggressive widebody form an unmistakable identity.

Brabus has a storied history with the Rocket nameplate, and the GTC Deep Red continues that tradition. Every component has been developed, tested, and validated in-house at the Brabus facility in Bottrop, Germany. Production is strictly limited, making each example a genuine collector's piece.

The Deep Red Exterior

The Deep Red finish is a Brabus-exclusive paint code requiring a seven-layer application process. The base coat contains metallic flake in three different sizes, creating a depth effect that shifts between dark cherry and bright crimson depending on lighting angle. This is complemented by:

  • Gloss carbon fiber widebody panels and aerodynamic elements
  • Satin black window surrounds and roof panel
  • Red-accented Brabus branding on grille and tailgate
  • Carbon fiber mirror caps with red accent stripe

Installation Notes

The Brabus Rocket GTC is not a bolt-on modification program — it is a complete vehicle build. Each car is constructed at the Brabus Bottrop facility over a period of approximately 16-20 weeks. The engine is fully disassembled, the displacement increased through boring and stroking, and all internal components replaced with forged Brabus-specification parts. The widebody conversion requires extensive metalwork, and the Deep Red paint application alone takes approximately three weeks. This is a vehicle built to order, with each example carrying a unique Brabus build number and certificate of authenticity.

Pricing

The Brabus Rocket GTC Deep Red Edition represents a significant investment. Complete vehicle pricing starts from approximately EUR 450,000 excluding the donor AMG GT Coupe, or from EUR 650,000 as a turnkey vehicle including a new base car. Given the limited production and handbuilt nature, pricing is confirmed upon specification finalization. Contact Hodoor World for availability and commissioning details.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Brabus Rocket GTC Deep Red editions will be produced?

Brabus has not announced a fixed production number, but the Rocket GTC program is inherently limited by the handbuilt nature of each vehicle. Annual production capacity for all Rocket variants is estimated at fewer than 25 units globally.

Can the Deep Red colour be applied to other Brabus models?

The Deep Red finish was developed specifically for the Rocket GTC program. While Brabus can accommodate custom colour requests on other models, the Deep Red paint code and application process are exclusive to this edition.

What warranty coverage applies to the Rocket GTC?

Brabus provides a comprehensive 3-year warranty on all Rocket-series vehicles, covering the engine, drivetrain, and all Brabus-manufactured components. This is independent of any Mercedes-Benz warranty.

Is the Brabus Rocket GTC suitable for track use?

Yes. The Rocket GTC is engineered for sustained high-performance driving. The carbon ceramic brake system, adjustable suspension, and enhanced cooling systems are all designed to handle track conditions. However, it remains a road-registered vehicle with full comfort amenities.

What is the delivery timeline for a new commission?

From order confirmation to delivery, the typical timeline is 6-9 months, depending on specification complexity and production queue position. Hodoor World can provide current lead time estimates.
