The Brabus 800 is the newest Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet with exposed carbon fiber from its front spoiler to its diffuser and a retuned flat-six that lifts the hybrid’s combined output to 800 metric horsepower.
Brabus announced the car on November 9, 2026, with the same parts offered for the Turbo S coupĂ©. I found one of each on the company’s for-sale page that day: the Cabriolet at €482,714 with Germany’s 19% value-added tax and the coupĂ© at €419,581.
The 800 in the name is in PS, the German unit, so the car makes 789 hp by the U.S. measure, or 588 kW. Porsche rates the stock 992.2 Turbo S at 701 hp in America, which puts the gain at 88 hp, and torque rises from 590 lb-ft to 664.
Key Takeaways
- The Brabus 800 is a Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet of the 992.2 generation with carbon bodywork, a valve-controlled exhaust, lowered springs and a quilted leather cabin. Every part also fits the coupé.
- Output is 588 kW and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft). Brabus writes it as 800 hp in metric terms; by the U.S. measure it is 789 hp, 88 more than Porsche quotes for the stock car.
- Brabus claims 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds for the Cabriolet and 2.4 for the coupé, and both stay limited to 200 mph, the top speed Porsche gives the stock Turbo S.
- The listed Cabriolet is €482,714 with 19% German VAT and €405,642 net, about $454,000 at the November 9 exchange rate. The coupé is €419,581, or €352,589 net.
- Porsche asks $284,300 for a stock 911 Turbo S Cabriolet in the U.S. and $270,300 for the coupé, before a $2,350 delivery fee.
The Carbon Wing Works With Porsche’s Active Aero
The carbon rear spoiler has an elevated profile over the engine lid, and Brabus says the 911’s factory active aerodynamics keep their full function with it and with every other carbon part fitted. Up front, a carbon spoiler with raised side flaps is there to cut lift at the front axle at speed.
Carbon also covers the front hood, the fascia inserts and the vertical louvers in the air intakes. Along the sides, the mirror housings are carbon, and the side-skirt attachments repeat the shape of the front spoiler’s flaps.
At the back, a carbon diffuser holds four round tailpipes from a Brabus exhaust whose valves the driver opens and closes from a button, and a carbon panel between the taillights wears Brabus lettering in relief. Each carbon piece comes in a gloss or matte finish.
Brabus Adds 65 kW to the Flat-Six
Porsche’s 992.2 Turbo S pairs a 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-six with two electric turbochargers and an electric motor inside its eight-speed PDK gearbox, fed by a 1.9 kWh battery. Porsche USA quotes 631 hp from the engine alone and 701 hp, or 523 kW, from the whole system.
Brabus’s PowerXtra P36-800 upgrade raises the engine’s output by 65 kW, which it writes as 89 hp in PS, and the hybrid system’s total reaches 588 kW with 900 Nm of torque.
Brabus claims 2.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, or 62 mph, for the Cabriolet and 2.4 for the coupé. Both Brabus cars are limited electronically to 322 km/h, or 200 mph, the figure Porsche gives the standard Turbo S.
Porsche’s figure for its stock coupĂ© is 2.4 seconds to 60 mph, a run 2 mph shorter.

22-Inch Rear Wheels and a 25-Millimeter Drop
The forged Monoblock ZL Platinum Edition wheels debut on this car. Five pairs of thin Y-shaped spokes are black with polished faces, and the wheels bolt on with a center lock. The fronts measure 21 inches across and 9.5 wide; the rears are 22 by 12.
Brabus’s photos show the car on Continental SportContact 7 tires, 255/30 ZR 21 in front and 335/25 ZR 22 at the rear.
The coupĂ©’s listing names the wheel Monoblock Z, without the L.
Height-adjustable Brabus sport springs pair with Porsche’s active dampers and can drop the car by up to 25 millimeters, or 1.0 inch, at both axles.
Quilted Leather Reaches the Rear Bench
The aluminum footrest lights up with red Brabus lettering, and the carbon sill panels carry logos that switch between red and white. Brabus trims the rest of the Cabriolet in black leather with gray piping across the seats, door panels and dashboard, and a gray 12 o’clock marker on the steering wheel.
Dynamic Diamond Double quilting, with perforations, fills the seat centers. Brabus Signature Carbon appears on the steering wheel, center console, dashboard and doors, and the floor mats and trunk mat are quilted leather with leather edging.
Brabus’s text calls the car a two-seater, yet the listed Cabriolet has a rear bench upholstered in the same quilting, and Porsche builds the Turbo S Cabriolet only as a 2+2.
Listed at €419,581, the coupĂ© has Porsche’s black leather with contrast stitching and an electric glass sunroof, along with Brabus’s quilted mats, pedals and illuminated footrest.
€405,642 Before Tax, About $454,000
Both cars are exhibition cars in Germany, priced ex works at Brabus’s plant in Bottrop. The Cabriolet costs €53,053 more than the coupĂ© before tax.
| Listed car | Gross, with 19% VAT | Net | Net in dollars |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brabus 800 Cabriolet (C4S299) | €482,714 | €405,642 | $454,000 |
| Brabus 800 coupé (C4S330) | €419,581 | €352,589 | $395,000 |
In the United States, Porsche asks $284,300 for a stock 911 Turbo S Cabriolet and $270,300 for the coupĂ©, plus $2,350 for delivery. Both listings are priced in euros, and Brabus has not said whether either car meets U.S. rules. Brabus USA in Irvine, California, the one U.S. car location on the company’s dealer list, sent the announcement to its mailing list.
Brabus has used the 800 name before, on G 63 builds such as the XL 800 and the 800 Mean Green, and those are priced in my Brabus G-Wagon price guide. Brabus announced a G 63 pickup, the P 900 Rocket Edition, on October 22.
Brabus Takes a 701 hp Turbo S to 789 hp
The Brabus 800 adds 65 kW to a 911 Turbo S that already makes 523 kW, for 588 kW, or 789 hp by the U.S. measure, along with carbon bodywork that leaves Porsche’s active aero working, 22-inch rear wheels and a top speed held at Porsche’s 200 mph. The listed Cabriolet is €405,642 before tax, about $454,000 by my conversion, against $284,300 for a stock Turbo S Cabriolet in the U.S.
