SAEDNEWS: Brabus Turns Its Attention to Bentley: Unleashing a Black Continental Coupe with 900 Horsepower
According to the Science and Technology Desk of Saed News, Brabus has gone beyond mere tuning in its latest project—not only enhancing a car but completely erasing its past and identity. The company’s newest creation is based on the Bentley Continental GT and GTC, yet no trace of the British marque remains. Instead, a 900-horsepower beast named the Brabus 900 Superblack has been born. With this move, Brabus officially integrates Bentley into its main lineup, no longer delegating the brand’s tuning to its subsidiary, Startech. The new models, offered in both coupe and cabriolet versions, represent a complete transformation.
The first thing that catches the eye on the Brabus 900 Superblack is the total removal of Bentley logos and badges. The iconic Bentley wings are gone, replaced by carbon-fiber trims and the Brabus “B” emblem. This change alone signals a product that is entirely distinct. Brabus has designed a full carbon-fiber body kit for the car, including a front splitter, redesigned air intakes, a subtle spoiler, and an aggressive rear diffuser housing four stainless-steel exhaust tips. The exhaust system features active valves to showcase the eight-cylinder engine’s roar at its best. Black, 22-inch forged wheels complete the menacing appearance.
Under the hood, German engineering works its magic. The plug-in hybrid powertrain, combining a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor, has been completely reimagined. Brabus has installed custom turbochargers, a new carbon-fiber airbox, and recalibrated the ECU, boosting combined output to a jaw-dropping 900 horsepower and 1,100 Nm of torque. These numbers catapult the Bentley from a luxury grand tourer into supercar territory. Both coupe and cabriolet accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 335 km/h for the coupe and 285 km/h for the cabriolet.
The interior also receives Brabus’s signature refinements. Every surface of the cabin and trunk is adorned with premium quilted leather, while carbon-fiber trims highlight the dashboard, door panels, and sills. Brabus even modifies the active air suspension with a new module to lower the ride height by 20 mm, enhancing both stability and aesthetics.
Of course, this level of exclusivity and performance comes at a steep price. The base Brabus 900 coupe starts at €489,200, while the cabriolet begins at €538,800. For comparison, a standard Bentley Continental GT Speed in the same market starts at around €293,000.
