Brabus 900 Superblack: The Coupe That Erased Bentley’s History And Rewrote The Rules Of Luxury

BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK: The BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT that lost its identity to become an 888 hp monster.

What happens when a German tuner decides not only to tune a luxury British car, but to completely erase its original identity? The result is the BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK, a former BENTLEY Continental GT/GTC that became a hybrid supercar with 888 horsepower, looking like a movie villain and costing as much as a collectible artwork.

BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK: When the Continental GT Stops Being Bentley and Becomes Another Species

BRABUS has always been known for transforming Mercedes sedans and SUVs into discreet Autobahn monsters. But now the Bottrop tuner took a further step: instead of just improving a BENTLEY Continental GT and GTC, it virtually erased the model’s past.

No winged emblem, no classic “B” on the hood. What you see is a black, brutal, minimalist coupe (or cabriolet), where every detail screams BRABUS – and no longer Bentley.

Erased Identity: British Luxury Now Speaks German

The base is the latest-generation Continental GT/GTC, featuring a plug-in hybrid powertrain combining a 4.0 twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor. But BRABUS didn’t settle for the usual: instead of just reprogramming, it redefined the car from front to back.

• All Bentley badges were removed;
• The hood and trunk lid feature carbon fiber inserts replacing the traditional logo;
• The grille, bumpers, and rear diffuser adopt BRABUS’s signature look, with aggressive cuts and darkened finishes;
• The nomenclature changes: now it’s the BRABUS 900 Superblack Coupé and BRABUS 900 Cabriolet.

This kind of “removal of the past” is not common even among tuners. Usually, the tuner works alongside the original brand; here, BRABUS takes absolute control. It’s almost as if Bentley served only as a donor chassis, engine, and platform – the rest becomes a new story.

For those who follow the luxury market, this move resembles other radical projects that break conventions, like the Rolls-Royce Phantom with “Rolex wheels” rewriting luxury standards. But here, BRABUS adds something even bolder: amputating the British visual heritage and replacing it with an extreme German identity.

Exterior Look: 22 Inches, Carbon Fiber, and Supercar Presence

The first impact of the BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK is visual. It appears less as a cruising GT and more as a track assassin in a suit.

• Wheels: Monoblock ZM Platinum Edition, 22 inches, forged, in a glossy black finish, fully filling the wheel arches;
• Carbon Fiber Bodykit: redesigned front splitter, new air intakes, side skirts, a discreet yet functional rear spoiler, and a large rear diffuser;
• Exhaust: four outlets integrated into the diffuser, connected to a stainless steel system with active valves – adjustable sound from “silent luxury” to “stormy thunder”;
• Finish: nearly everything is darkened, from window trim to grille details, reinforcing the “Superblack” concept.

The 20 mm lowered ride height via an electronic suspension module isn’t just aesthetic. With a lower center of gravity and the body visually “hugging” the ground, the perception shifts from a sleek GT to something close to a stealth supercar. It’s impossible not to associate this visual aggressiveness with other segment-breaking projects, like the Genesis G90 Wingback Concept, the luxury shooting brake that challenges the dullness of SUVs.

888 Horsepower, 1,100 Nm, and 2.9 Seconds: BRABUS 900 Enters Supercar Territory

If externally the BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK no longer cares about subtlety, under the hood the tuner decided to push the boundary between luxury GT and supercar.

The base remains the plug-in hybrid 4.0 twin-turbo V8, but the list of modifications is extensive.

What BRABUS Did to the Hybrid Powertrain

The original electrification of the Continental is preserved: the electric motor and PHEV concept remain. But the thermal V8 gets a personality reconstruction:

• New BRABUS Turbochargers: custom-made, with higher boost pressure and sharper response;
• Carbon Fiber Airbox: for more efficient flow and better intake temperature control;
• Heavy ECU Reprogramming: for both the combustion engine and hybrid management, optimizing combined torque and power delivery;
• Stainless Steel Exhaust with Active Valves: less restriction, more flow, and a sound map aligned with the new performance goal.

The result is a technical sheet that places the BRABUS 900 alongside pure supercars:

• Total Combined Power: 888 hp (662 kW / 900 PS);
• Torque: 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft);
• 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph): 2.9 seconds (both coupé and cabriolet);
• Top Speed: electronically limited to 335 km/h in coupé and 285 km/h in cabriolet.

These numbers are not just “faster than the original.” They push the car into the territory of monsters like hyper-sedans and extreme wagons, such as the MTM Pangaea GT RS6, 1,100 hp Audi that surpasses the Bugatti Veyron in power. The difference is that here, the focus remains on a “usable grand tourer” side.

Acceleration Time: Comparing with the Original Continental

To gauge what BRABUS has achieved, it’s worth comparing the 900 SUPERBLACK with the factory Continental GT Speed hybrid:

The performance gains may seem “just” a few tenths, but in performance engineering, that’s enormous – especially when talking about a car that was already extremely fast. What BRABUS does is push the Continental to the limit of what’s expected of a four-seat, usable trunk car, just as brands like Lamborghini have been doing with very high-power hybrids, like the Lamborghini Temerario, 907 hp twin-turbo V8 hybrid challenging modern physics.

Chassis and Suspension: Less is More

Curiously, BRABUS does not detail a radical suspension package beyond the 20 mm lowering module. And that makes sense.

The Continental GT/GTC already comes standard with:

• Latest-generation adaptive air suspension;
• Active stabilizer bar (in certain versions);
• Giant brakes, with options for carbon-ceramic discs;
• Smart all-wheel drive and torque vectoring.

In practice, BRABUS relied on the Bentley base and focused efforts on power, aerodynamics, and visual identity. For many enthusiasts, this is a perfect combo: the comfort and competence of a British grand tourer, with the brutal German attitude under the pedal.

If you prefer more “hardcore factory” setups, consider comparing with electric and hybrid SUVs also using electrification to break paradigms, such as the new Porsche Cayenne Electric 2026, the most powerful SUV from the brand. The difference is that the BRABUS 900 does all this with a V8 twin-turbo singing in the background.

Interior, Price, and Exclusivity: Why the BRABUS 900 is More Than Just a “Chipped” Bentley

The inside of the BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK is perhaps the biggest proof that the tuner doesn’t want to be seen as “just a car modder,” but as a semi-artisanal manufacturer of high-luxury automobiles.

Masterpiece Cabin: Luxury Taken to Extremes

BRABUS calls its top finish “Masterpiece.” For the 900 SUPERBLACK, this means:

• Seats, panels, and trunk in very high-quality leather, featuring quilted stitching and complex perforations;
• BRABUS logos in relief, embroidery, and metal plaques replacing Bentley references;
• Carbon fiber inserts in the dashboard, center console, doors, and sills;
• Customized color options: although “Superblack” suggests all black, the client can choose exclusive combinations.

This approach resembles luxury yacht and corporate jet concepts, aligned with what top brands are doing with extreme limited editions, such as the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV, the “silent electric yacht” that outclasses first-class airline cabins. But here, the BRABUS twist is less chrome shine, more fiber and black – lots of black.

Price: When Exclusivity Costs Twice as Much

BRABUS offers the 900 Superblack Coupé and Cabriolet in two ways:

• As complete vehicles, already delivered as BRABUS 900;
• As a conversion package for owners of hybrid BENTLEY Continental GT/GTCs.

Reference prices in Europe are:

• BRABUS 900 Coupé: starting at € 489,200 (approximately US$ 573,200, excluding taxes);
• BRABUS 900 Cabriolet: starting at € 538,800 (approximately US$ 631,400, excluding taxes).

For comparison, a base BENTLEY Continental GT Speed in the same market costs around € 293,200. So:

The BRABUS 900 can easily cost almost double the original car.

This price delta isn’t just for the extra 117 hp and 100 Nm gain. It pays for:

• The exclusivity of the BRABUS brand on an already rare base;
• The Masterpiece finish and custom options;
• The collectible factor: few units, highly desired by enthusiasts and investors.

In practice, the customer isn’t just buying “a tuned Bentley” but a desire object with its own signature. The same logic attracts those seeking radical hybrid supercars, like SUVs and coupes with nearly 1,000 hp born as limited editions.

Who is the BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK For?

This is not a rational car. It is a statement.

It speaks to a very specific type of buyer:

• Someone who finds a standard Continental GT too discreet;
• Someone who wants supercar performance without sacrificing four comfortable seats;
• Someone who doesn’t mind removing the Bentley logo and replacing it with another – in fact, prefers it;
• Someone who sees the car as a collectible asset, not just as a means of transportation.

This customer might have in the same workshop an extreme electric SUV, a hybrid hypercar, a 1,000 hp wagon, and a series of rare classics. And among all of them, they consider the BRABUS 900 an “outlier”: a grand tourer that ceased to be just a Bentley and became a true entity.

In the end, the BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK answers a question many didn’t even realize they had: what if a Continental GT abandoned British diplomacy and fully embraced German brutality, looking forward instead of back? BRABUS not only answered – it erased the car’s past to ensure the new story is written solely by them. And for the right type of enthusiast, that’s exactly what justifies the price, the excess, and the existence of this 888-horsepower monster dressed in black.
