Hannover, Germany, October 28, 2024. BRABUS relies exclusively on Continental's ultra-high performance SportContact 7 tire for the new ROCKET GTS, the tuner's first supercar to date with a visible carbon-fiber shooting brake body. Designed to meet the needs of sporty drivers, the tire combines performance and safety.

The tuning experts mounted 275/35 ZR 21 tires on the front axle and 335/25 ZR 22 tires on the rear axle. The BRABUS Monoblock P "PLATINUM EDITION" wheels were specially designed for this 2+2-seater with five spokes and central locking. The Continental SportContact 7 tires mounted on them transfer the power, lateral forces, and weight of the ROCKET GTS with high-end hybrid drive to the tarmac in a sporty and safe manner during acceleration, handling, and braking. In this combination, the total of 1,000 hp / 735 kW hits the asphalt with high grip, enabling the power transmission for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds. The forward thrust of the V8 super sports car with up to 1,820 Nm is electronically limited to 317 km/h. The BRABUS ROCKET GTS is a limited edition and an exclusive highlight of the BRABUS Collection 2025.

The tire specialists at Continental and BRABUS have been working closely together for more than 25 years to ensure that the tuner's high-performance vehicles are safe and sporty on the road. The BRABUS 930 and the BRABUS Rocket 1000 "1 of 25" are already equipped with the SportContact 7 to meet the high-performance requirements. The SportContact 7 has proven its quality time and again, both in the aftermarket and as original equipment. Independent tests also confirm its performance: in March of this year, it was named test winner in the sporty driving segment by the magazine AUTO BILD sportscars and awarded the rating "exemplary" and an overall score of 1.2.
