Structural integrity
Brabus developed over 500 new components for the roof conversion
Brabus has developed over 500 new components for the roof conversion and body reinforcement package of the 900 Rocket Edition Cabrio.
The two-piece electrically operated soft top opens or closes in 20 seconds and has a heated glass rear window.
To maintain structural rigidity after removing the metal roof, Brabus reinforced the windshield frame and added extra bracing throughout the body.
Quality control
Each car undergoes over 10 hours of simulated rain testing
Before delivery, every finished car reportedly undergoes over 10 hours of simulated rain testing inside a climate chamber.
This rigorous process is designed to prove that the fabric top seals as well as a hardtop would in daily use.
This isn't Brabus's first roofless project; the tuner had previously built the 1,000hp Bodo Cabriolet limited to just 77 units.
